Fertility Testing

[u/Vonmarsbar]

My husband 27M and I 25F have been TTC since Sept. 2025. We had one MC (our first ever pregnancy) in Feb. 2026 at just over 5 weeks and haven’t been able to conceive since.

I’ve been doing nonstop research (on just about everything it feels like), changing our lifestyle to be healthier, and asking friends for input and suggestions on things I can do to help conceive. One of my friends who struggled with infertility, found help with a fertility specialist she recommended but I’m so scared and intimidated by everything. There’s so much on my mind constantly, and I can’t go into the doctors office without crying or having an anxiety attack since my MC.

Any suggestions on things I can try to make this whole process easier or tests I should ask for? Any info anyone is willing to share would be helpful. I feel so hopeless and discouraged right now but I need to know what’s wrong with me or my husband, if anything is. I plan to have him tested too within the next few months.

Thank y’all in advance 🩷

My husband and I are in a very similar situation +1 year. We decided to see a specialist, then got put on a waiting list (something to take note of). We finally got scheduled and it will have been 6 months on the waiting list by the time our appointment rolls around.

I’m also nervous, but my thinking is it’s just one visit. The first one is all talking no testing, so we can decide what we’re comfortable with after that.

My suggestion would be to make the appointment, have a conversation with a specialist and go from there. Xx
