Hi Ladies I'm really nervous!!!!
Hi All,
me and DH have our hospital appointment today at 11.00 and we will find out the 2nd tests results for his sperm test. We are both feeling apprehensive about going because we know that their won't be much difference between the 2nd and the 1st because they were done so soon between each other and DH is dreading hearing the same said again to him which is understandable. The hospital mentioned last time that when we go back today if it is still low we will be put forward for IVF!
It seems such a drastic step to take and TBH I never thought that I would ever have to go through this to conceive. I'm not really sure what to expect or how it's done but my stomach is doing summersalts just thinking about the whole thing. Since our last appointment in March we have changed quite alot to our lifestyle so maybe if the test was done now it would possibly show an improvement. The NHS never gave us any advice about how to improve SC and we walked away feeling so deflated- so we did some research ourselves and this is what we have done. Cut caffeine out completely, limited alcohol
well lil bit LOL, DH takes Proxeed plus twice daily along with 1000mg vit c, pure fish oil and an all round Multi Vitamin, DH cut out hot baths, we both eat more organic and alot of fresh veg. I take Pregnacare daily. I feel like I am spending so much money and buying things to imrove our chances I want to know if it's all going to be worth it.
What if this is the only way forward for me and DH and IVF doesn't work? We both feel so down about the whole thing because we have really relaxed the last few months and enjoyed BD'ing and aimed it on the right dates but nothing ever happens!!!!!
Congrats to everyone who has had a recent BFP, you are all an inspiration to us ladies who are still ttc.
Sorry for the long post but I feel better for gettign that off my chest.

Im sorry for what you are going through. I hope everything goes ok today and you get better results this time. I know the idea of IVF sounds really scarey but if thats what it takes to get your angel then im sure the two of you will be strong for each other. Let us know how you get on and goodluck.

Well we got to the hospital and as soon as we walked in the door guess who we saw????? 2 new born baby's and 3 pregnant women GRRRR DH stood on the stairs watching the mum and dad carry their baby's out of hospital for the first time with a huge grin on his face. It was so lovely to see and I know that when we do finally conceive he will make a brilliant dad.
We saw a different doctor today and he seemed quite helpful, more than the others. I am a little bit overwhelmed at the moment because the 2nd test results came back absolutely fine, the count was better, the concentration, speed, shape everything seemed alot better and the doctor said that there was a significant difference than the first test. He seemed baffled by the results of the 2nd test. He said we test the sperm in a jelly like substance to see how well the spermies swim and he said that DH had alot of strong swimmers!!! He said that he was planning to go through the IVF procedure with us today but because of the results being so much better he said there is no need at the moment.
He said that we do need to find out why were not getting pregnant and he suggested a laproscopy (not sure if thats the right spelling). He wants to look at my tubes by inserting a camera through my belly button and injecting dye into my lady bits
I will keep you all posted. Gd luck ttc and lots of babydust to us allxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I hope it doesn't take long for you to get your proceedure done and find out if there is a problem. Meanwhile keep on with the bding-you never know!
Good luck!XXX
