me and my husband have been trying to conceive for 12 unsuccessful months now. We're moving onto to 13 , hope so...
My husband thinks we should continue to try on our own for a little while longer since the idea of doctors and testing and medical procedures isn't appealing to him. I'm the internet junkie, so do know most of the poking and prodding would be directed at me instead of him...his testing would be somewhat easier, but, I have to say I do somewhat understand his reluctance to go to the doctor.
Yes, I really want to have a baby and hope there is something a doctor can do to help, but I have to say I'm terrified of bad news and the possibility of the doctor telling us it can't happen for us. I don't know if I'd want to know that or if I'd rather go on with some hope that it might happen. I know after trying for a year, our chances of conceiving on our own are lower and do hope there is some hope and help for us - it's silly to say but I'm scared about the whole process.
So, based on my fears I'm inclined to go along with my husband and to try for a few more months on our own, but if we're still in the same situation a few months down the road, I know it would be better to go now. I'm getting closer and closer to 35 so I guess the sooner the better.
Sorry for the long winded question - but when did you seek medical advice. Do you think you waited too long, went too soon or just the right time?
