what are my options if hubby is all fine??
hiya ladies just wanting some advice really!
we have our fertility appt next week (which im both excited for and dreading!!)
And ive been thinking, i know icsi/ivf are used for low sperm couples/difficulties ejaculating etc but we've had the all ok on hubbys side- in fact his sperm count was suprisingly good (approx 76 million! and good morphology etc).
What will our options be seeing as its obviously me whos the problem!
Im confused as to what they made do now? xxx
many thanks

ive never had any investigations yet, no scans etc or no further intervention into my cycles.
surely theyd do this first?
wow ttc is scary business
How long have u been TTC? xx
You won't know what your options are until you have had investigations hun don't worry.
First you will have blood tests to check you are ovulating ok and producing right quantities of fsh. If you have problems oving then they may prescribe a course of clomid which you can read up on easily on this site.
If bloods are ok then you will most likely have a pelvic ultrasound to check urine cavity and lining and ovaries for cysts etc. You may also need an hsg where fluid is passed through your tubes to check patency (some treatment like iui can only be done with clear tubes). If still nothing found then you may have an operation called a laparoscopy for a thorough check inside. They can also often fix things like endometriosis if they find it.
Treatment options will depend on what they find but could be clomid, iui, ivf or icsi (using your own eggs as long as checks show they are healthy!). Try not to panic, you have a long way to go yet but try to gather as much info as you can before your appointment.
Hope that helps.
we have been TTC for 2 years 10 months already
thanks ladies
i think im getting ahead of myself- just worrying as its been so long since anyone has seriously listened to us regarding this whole TTC thing!
we're used to GP's using the whole " relax it'll happen" line or the " your young dont worry!" lol drives me crazy!
will keep you posted its next week xx
