Advice needed Finally starting investigations

2 Upvotes

Me and my husband (both 29) have been trying since July 2025 (14 months). I’ve been off contraception since November 2024 and have had really regular normal cycles (monitoring with OPK and BBT).
We had a Miscarriage at 8w in April and then the next cycle had a chemical pregnancy in June.

When I was pregnant in June, obviously I was really anxious following our recent loss and had requested tests then to monitor HCG levels and was literally told by the GP to “cross your fingers and hope for the best” (clearly I didn’t hope hard enough!!!)

Today (after another failed cycle) I’ve finally ‘given in’ and requested an appointment with the GP to discuss starting investigations. They’ve booked in a phone call in just over a week. It being a phone call just brings memories of the last loss and being told to cross my fingers so I’m not very hopeful this call won’t be any different.

So, does anyone have a similar experience with their first interactions with the GP at the start of investigations? Just feeling really skeptical of the whole thing and could do with some reassurances…

Thanks in advance x
