I told my friend that I was on a forum getting ready for pregnancy. She will be joining too as a result but we were talking then and she told me about online testing. Basically, I am now getting tested (having provided a vaginal swab which The STI Clinic sent me) for a whole range of stis some of which occur naturally and that might affect pregnancy (many people will not have symptoms with them). I think one that comes up a lot with fertility is ureeplasma? That's one of them anyway and the main one for me. Anyway, I get my results back in 3 days and it has totally put my mind at ease. They posted the kit the very next day and I didn't have to make any long trips which is great as I'm working from where im staying at the moment and dont have a car
This is a great service and I wanted to share this with everyone! Wherever you are I'm sure there's a similar service operating online. Research this infection... there are others too and seemingly only if you go private can you test for these. Not a lot of research has been carried out and so the NHS don't test for it. Doesn't mean they aren't worth testing and treating though! I'm taking all precautions. Lastly, if I do test pos, I get treatment totally free. What a find! Thanks again guys. This is a great forum. I've been reading other threads studying all about pregnancy and find everything so helpful.
