What's the first step?
KimGuest ·
Hi!
We've been trying since August (after a two-year wish) and are starting round 6 after a miscarriage in October. I already had a short chat with the gynecologist about the next steps, but I didn't feel really supported. Before I make an appointment with another gynecologist, what's the next step? Do they test the woman first? Or both together? Thanks in advance for the info!

That's really tough, Kim, that your first visit with the OB-GYN didn't go well! You definitely want to feel supported at a time like that. During the first appointment, the doctor will ask you both some questions and will perform an internal ultrasound. After that, your partner will need to have his sperm tested, and you'll have your blood levels checked. You'll have a follow-up appointment with the doctor in about a month to go over the results and discuss the next steps.
