Infertility tests?

Hi Everyone, I have been ttc for 15 months now! I went to see my doctor after we had been trying for 12 months and she did a Progesterone Test which came back ok and the doctor confirmed that I was ovulating. Next I had to go to the hospital for a smear like test and they have now made more appointments for me. One is for a blood test and one is for a Ultra Sound Scan. I also have to give a sample from by partner to make sure his sperm count it ok.
I just wondered if anyone else has been through these infertility tests and can give me any advice on what to expect as I am so nervous. The hospital have made another appointment for me on 31st December for the results and I am praying its not bad news.
I am trying so hard to be positive but the last 6 months I have been experiencing "spotting" a week before my period is due and without coming across too crude, its old blood rather than new. So now I’ve kind of convinced myself something is wrong !
Any genuine advice appreciated

infertility clinic (UK) ?

Hello..

I have started the infertility investigation with NHS. I went for my first appointment on the 29th Oct at St Helier Hospital (Sutton SM)
They gave me have loads of home work to do; blood test, sperm sample.. ect..
Once I have done all the exams I will need to see the consultant to discuss the outcome of the tests… However the first available appointment just to discuss the exams will be the 13 May 2009!! Yes.. It is shocking but that is what it is.

The lady that booked the appointment with said that once I have done all the exams I can call them to see if someone cancelled and move my appointment forward.
I was thinking to call them every day till they get fed up of me.. Or if I get fed up first I would go private.

Once I have all the exams if I decide to go private is the NHS Hospital obliged to transfer all my exams and paper work to a private hospital if I ask them to do so? In that way I can have a erlier consultation.

Anyone had the same experience?

Any suggestion?
I’m very much desperate and cannot certainly wait 7 months just to have a consultation to know what is wrong.

TTC #1 for 20 months.

anybody experienced this before? my partner and i have been trying to conceive for 16 months with no luck. we have been refer ed to a fertility specialist (appointment is saturday) our local doctor did the usual sperm tests and found out he has got something called ‘immunological infertility’ what we have been told is basically he has got some good sperms (hes not classed as having a low sperm count or anything) but in his semen there are antibodies attacking the sperm stopping them from moving towards the egg. our doctor said the specialist will probably put him on steroids. has anybody heard of this before? is it quite common? any success stories? thaankyou x
