    Congratulations Snoopy!:j
    Countrybum, I think it was a good thing it hurt, that could mean your tubes were slightly blocked, and now it's open. And that was the problem all along:)

    I'm midway through my 2ww...I'm sure they get longer! Not an ss - more of a general observation - but I'm eating like a horse (& I don't mean that I'm eating grass!)!! Really need to get that in check.

  • congratulations snoopy xx

    and soooo sorry Lisa :(

    nothing to report here - CD 5 and just waiting really.. CBFM for the first time last month and unsure whether to do it this month as OH has to do his SA again ready for our results appointment on the 13th Sep... My HSG didnt hurt one bit god knows why tho it just felt comfortable like a smear and i didnt spot afterwards either ;)

    cant stop thinking about getting pregnant its untrue and i dont think its helping!! so i am going to ask the fertility consultant about PMS as i have it REALLY BAD!!! and its causing arguements between us which isnt good

    Hi ladies,
    Never posted on this post before. We have only been trying 9 months but OH had an SA analysis done last week and his DR wanted to refer us straight away for IVF as he has only 5% Morphology (his count and motility are still high though). His GP was going to write a referal letter for us but the called and said the refereal has to come from my DR?! We where massively stressed out about all this as you can imagine and thnakfully after some research I have managed to calm my self! I think OH's GP was being to quick to refer us and We are going to keep trying like we have been doing and see what happens over the next couple of months.
    Does anyone have experince with Low Morphology?
    Be good to hear some successful stories!

    I'd tell your consultant about the other vits you are taking, but I think it's fine.

    My DH's is 1% morphology, but I think it may depend on the count, as percentages can be misleading. 5% is generally considered normal.

    Hope all are well!

    Nothing to report here - CD12 or so, taking it easy this month.Baking as a distraction isn't such a great idea - I've gained 6 pounds. Time for Plan B..!

    +++++

    On this plus-side, my FIL - who is recovering from cancer and in touch with his own mortality - has just given us £75000! You read that right! He wants to avoid us paying inheritance tax as much as possible, so has brought forward our inheritance. Woohoo!
