Hi Jay Bee,

I would suggest to make an appointment with a gyneagologist. They will check out everything and go through history etc. i know it can be expensive, but if you get the right advice and guidance from the beginning it could save a lot. The gynae will send you for bloodwork, and you could ask for a semen analysis for your husband aswell, no use in you being ok and you dont know whats going on with hubby.

Good luck, this is not an easy road to be on, hope you get good news soon xxx

Hi Ladies

We have been ttc for a while and I would like to have my progesterone or even my eggs checked to see that all is in order. I live in the Cape Town area and would like to know how do you go about having yourself checked out and where is a good place to go to? Have any of you ladies had these tests done and if so where?

Is there also a home fertility test I can buy that can give me a sort of idea on he status of my fertility before I go and see the doctor?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
