Can I get a fertility test done in the UK

Hi, i have been trying to conceive now for about 7 months and doctors don't tend to get concerned until the 12 month mark,  not sure if this is a worldwide community, however I live in the UK and wondered if I could request a fertility test for myself and/or my husband. And would it be i the NHS or  would it cost.
Please help, thanks Nix

Many thanks

There is no harm in asking your doctor about it. They should be able to tell you whether you will have to pay or not. Ive been trying for nearly 7months but im willing to wait a year before going to the doctors. You never know it could happen in the next few months :-)

most doctors wont do anything until 12 months because thats when you are considered to be "infertile" i have been actively trying for 3 years with one miscarriage and all the rest BFN so i plan to look into ivf in india im just so afraid to even take that risk
