You sound like my husband when ...Oh, you are funny! You sound like my husband when he had to go through that the first time at a different place for the OB/GYN. The second time was with our specialist and the place was posh, so it was a different experience. It actually took me a year and half before I would actually move forward seeing a specialist. It is a big step to take. <br /><br />The initial test with OB/GYN doctor after we "tried" for 3 months and nothing happened! My ob/gyn almost laughed when I told her we tried for a couple of months! She says did you know that it takes most people a year. I said, but I know, but I thought I was very fertile. Everything looked good to her with my OB/GYN pre-pregnancy exam. Then she asked me when did I want to proceed with further tests (HSG and blood work). We proceeded a month later and she assumed it was a possible tube blocking and thats it, but it was still very hurting to me to have someone say you can go to a fertility clinic to move forward with the next step of conceiving, if you do not get pregnant (It didnt make sense when you have conceived before). <br />We assumed for a year and half that was the case and never moved forward. We proceeded with adoption, which was supposed to be our last child (in my plan). So, after almost 2 years of stalling and not really wanting to go to one of those big clinics, I did it. We made an appointment. It was actually the day we turned in our profile book with our agency. It was a big step to take. I told myself that I needed to go ahead and see a specialist to see what was the hold up and to get answers. We did and after the first visit I was fine. It was people of every nationality there and I didn't feel weird anymore, and I understood that fertility and infertility is a big issues for a lot of people and many people just do not discuss it. <br />I had a final confirmation of when and where to go when I was talking to a person in a casual conversation and they also went to one after thinking for 5 years that they were infertile and they weren't. A few others recommended the place as well. <br /><br />We went and my specialist was thorough and right on point. My main issue was an insulin resistance and I was healthy other than having to take some meds to get that in check so that when we do move forward with his assistance when we were ready and everything was clear and not have a miscarriage due to the slight insulin issue (not diabetes).<br /> <br />I guess that's what the "big dogs" are for when it comes down to all of those tests to get down to the real issue. After blood work and one diagnostic test they knew what our hold up was. I am glad that we did go not only for the fertility reasons, but for health reasons as well. I think each person owes it to themselves to at least find out because it could be something medically involved that you primary care physician did not detect in annual exams. I am glad that we went. <br />It was a big step to take and now I know where to go and how to help others when they are also wondering but ashamed or afraid to go for help. <br />Yes, men have to go through the tests as well!Sweet Patiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278670384919142229noreply@blogger.com
