FA appointment

Good news, we finally got the sample, now just have to do my test on the day 1/2 of cycle and play the waiting game til appt in three weeks.   The tension in our house has lifted Even if the news isnt want we want to hear at least we will have an idea of where we stand

Fantastic news topcat!! good luck hun!

Woohoo topcat! Yay! All the best

Oh Topcat, you poor thing! We're in a sort-of similar situation, so I can empathise. I know at the moment it must feel a bit like you're staring into a black hole, but remember you do still have some options. Firstly, impartial experts say that a series of sperm tests should be done, as they can be impacted by lots of things - stress, time elapsed since last ejaculation, diet etc - so maybe another test would provide better news (although i can understand your DH might not want to do that, or at least for a while). and there are things that can be done to increase sperm a little - although unlikely to bring things up to normal, it might be enough to give you a chance. A year ago my DH's count was around 100,000 motile sperm, now it's 1 million - enough for IUI to be considred - which at around $500 is a lot more affordable. and you arerelatively young. So may be all is not lost. On the other hand, you don't want to torture yourself and DH. If I was you, I'd try to get a second opinion (preferably including a second test) - I've heard F+ are good because the staff are part of the med school so are really up to date on the latest research and have a different funding arrangement (i.e. maybe less concerned with profits).
Thinking of you.

Topcat, I don't know what to say other than that my toughts are with you and your DH.

Hello again,
yup the scan looks at the shape, position etc of the uterus, and also to see if the ovaries appear normal. Quite interesting really, can also even see what appears like eggs depending on where you are in your cycle.   Not a major to have done either, similar experience to having a pap smear

Thinking of you hun!
