My husband and I have a 21 month old daughter, and we would like to have a second child. Unfortunately, he has some stress and anxiety issues at the moment which are meaning that we are struggling to get the job done to conceive naturally. I also have some mild endometriosis that will make life harder as well.
I'm wondering where to start with fertility treatment - is this something we can access whilst he is getting treatment for his stress etc? I don't want a big age gap between my children and I worry about how long the process for him could take (and should take if need be, he needs to look after himself). With time in mind, how long does it generally take to access fertility treatment as a public patient? Im really not familiar with the processes and worry there will be years long wait and we've missed the boat.

If youre in WA the public bulk billed ivf clinic hasn't opened yet and I hear that there is quite a large waiting list. You have to have been trying for a year and you need to consult your doctor and let them know when you commenced the start of that 12 month period. Your best bet is to go private. I just had my ivf baby. Cost a pretty penny but he is totally worth it.
Hey a couple of things have worked with my sister to fall pregnant, they had been trying for years and fell straight away when she started this protocol....
1 EVENING PRIMROSE OIL DAILY- has Gamma Linoleic Acid which helps to balance hormones, great for endometrosis awesome to also get rid of hormonal pimples and acne, helps men too there have been some studies where animals had bigger litters when the males were supplemented with this wonder oil.

2 FOLATE!!!!! DAILY Every day get at least 1 serve of green leafy vege like spinach, brocoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, peas for the folate as well. Juice fresh beetroots is also full of natural folate
(Folic Acid is the synthetic form of folate and is in all the vitamin supplements and fortified in breads, and some people (like me) cannot absorb it fully, I'd avoid that one at all costs)

3 EGGS DAILY- Should get the organic and free range as the chickens are getting better nutrients that go into the eggs, they have all the essential vitamins and minerals needed to support your body getting and staying pregnant. Particularly the Bvitamins and Choline is the nutrient that will powerhouse your babies brain.. :)
