Megs no real advise hun, I just wanted to give you my support and hugs . Its such a tough and emotional road and I am so feeling your (emotional) pain and heartache.

I hate being re-active in situations like this so I can see why you are having a proactive approach and good on you for doing so. Can you afford to pay for a specialist? ]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:50:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=529518&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#529518 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=529350&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#529350 Author: tiptoes

For a free referral you need to wait 12 months but if you're happy to pay you can refer yourself.

I read somewhere something like 60% get pregnant in the first 6 months, 20% in the next 6 months (where you are) then 10% in the next and 10% in the next. Doesn't quite work as that makes it sound like everyone is pregnant within 2 years which isn't true, but perhaps those are the stats for people without anything wrong? I can't remember where I read that but maybe this website http://www.fertilityplus.com/   another friend that went to the doc told her it could take up to 18 months to get pregnant (we're about the same age as you).

I think either referring yourself or going to see a naturopath/acupuncture now would be worth it. If nothing else it makes you feel better actively doing something. Or at least that's how I've felt. Every time AF arrives I tend to try and find my new solution for the month. It stops me going insane.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:13:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=529350&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#529350 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=529006&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#529006 Author: emz

It depends also if you have a good GP and if you have any problems already (which you have said you don't from the BT's).

For us, we only had to wait 3 months as I'd already been through the surgeries etc and knew what the issues were. This time round I've been charting for 7 months and the two times I've ovulated I've had chemical pg's (the doc thinks anyway) so we have been referred and have an appt in a week. We are going private and use the Oxford Clinic in town (my doc there is great). Consults are generally around the $200 mark from memory, but if you need drugs they're actually quite cheap, it's just the consults and scans/surgeries that are the expensive bits.

Good luck hun. PM me if you want any details about the Oxford Clinic and who I use there.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:33:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=529006&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#529006 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528818&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528818 Author: Paws

As others have said...a year is normal. Took us just over a year to have our little girl.

Hope you get a BFP soon!]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:00:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528818&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528818 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528766&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528766 Author: mummyofprinces

TraceyA saw a naturopath and from memory got her BFP the next cycle! They were on their 11th cycle from memory.

I have heard a lot of good things about naturopaths helping fertility! Might be worth a look?]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:07:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528766&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528766 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528764&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528764 Author: BugTeeny

It took us 17 cycles to get pregnant with Hannah.

I know it's hard, but it's generally a 12 month minimum before your GP will refer you on if you have no medical history to indicate fertility problems.

Good luck, I hope to see a BFP for you soon

*eta: I just re-read your post - and yes! it's so worth the wait

Yeah Im pretty sure its when you have been trying to 12 months +. it is quite normal to take up to 12 months to concieve.

**hugs** hun, hopefully its not oo much longer for you! Maybe have a google of some natural remedies you could try to help for the time being?]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:04:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528763&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528763 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528757&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528757 Author: mummyofprinces

Hey hun,

I dont think a GP will refer you until after 12 months. As much as it sucks, "they" say that its "normal" for it to take up 12 months, even longer for healthy couples to concieve.

I hope things happen for you very soon chick. ]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:58:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528757&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528720&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528720 Author: Konagirl

Yes, that's what happend with us. After a year of trying we went to doc's, they did tests, found a problem with dp. But doc said after a year, and given your age, you get a referal to specialist who I'd say given your in CHCH (we're in North Cant) will be feritiltiy associates in the St Georges complex. They are super nice.
I'm now 6 weeks preg, after surgery for Endo which they said they hadn't fixed so not sure what has done it, might be the natropath we've been seeing as well. But it's very very possible to still have a 'natural' pregnancy after a year of trying.
it's a rough road, so take care of yourself.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:29:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528720&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528720 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528700&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528700 Author: minik8e

I "think" it is usually a year of no success before a referral from a GP to the specialist team.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:08:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528700&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528700 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528682&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528682 Author: mummymegs

a specialist? We have been trying for 10 months without a single BFP. We have both got normal fertility. The doctor has done a number of tests and everything came back normal. I think that 10 month is a very long time to be trying as most of my friends got pg really soon after trying. A friend of mine says that I should wait until I have at least tried for a year. Do any of you know anybody that got pg after a year of trying? Do you think it is worth the wait? I have just turned 32 and my biological clock is being to clang. Also, the cost of the fertility diagnoses and treatments is really big expense which is off putting. I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place. If I know that there is little chance of us getting pg then I would like to see a specialist straight away. If there is still a chance for us to get pg then I would like to wait a short while. What do you think I should do? I am a bit confused.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 09:47:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21995&PID=528682&title=when-is-it-time-to-see#528682
