Follow up at the infertility clinic today and its not great
Hey girls
We have been back to the hospital today after my lap and dye and they have advised that everything is fine. My OH has a follow up appointment for a sperm test and if thats ok then the next step is IVF... now for the blow as I have a daughter who is 7 we won't be able to get it on the NHS and were looking at ??5k a try so its time to save for us... were gutted as there is nothing physically wrong with either of us. Its just 3 years of bad luck as we have not managed to get pregnant... what a nightmare!
Anyway I am not giving up if we have to pay then we will. Good luck ladies and I hope we get our bfp's together xxxx

My parents got married when my mum was 19. They were trying for a baby more or less as soon as they were married. After 12 months of trying, still no baby. After 2 yrs of trying, still no baby. They decided to go and see their doctor. They had tests done. The results came back normal every time. There was no such thing as IVF back then so my parents just thought that they would be childless. My mum went back to the doctors begging them to do something. The doctor told my mum to go away and stop trying.
12months later my brother was born and 3 yrs after that, I was born.
So after 3 months of my parents NOT ttc my mum got pregnant.
Its a bl@@dy funny world

sorry to butt in on your conversation but did the specialist go thruogh other options for you such as IUI. this is a less expensive and intrusive version of assisted conception and it is what after i have my hsg test and also another course of clomid our specialist will recommend for us. i have looked around ( kent area and SE london) and the price of it is roughly around ??600 so considerably cheaper than ivf.
best wishes
