  Thanks Jilly, I called my GP surgery and they had the swab results but not the blood test results. She didn't seem sure if they'd come to them or the hospital would contact me directly so I've left a message for my consultants secretary. I wasn't sure if 3 weeks was a long time or not? Hopefully I'll hear back soon.
  
  I had hoped I'd have been contacted for the hycosy appt by now, so not sure how long that'll take... I'm feeling a bit impatient now like I just want to know mine and DH's situation, good or bad I just feel like I need to know!
  
  I watched a Friends episode last night and monica and chandler within ONE episode decided to see a someone about fertility after a year of trying, had all tests, his and hers and the results that same day.... lol! If only eh??!! xx

  Hi OP
  
  Well everything seems to be hunky dory so far with all the tests so that's brilliant news.
  
  Have these results made you feel a bit better because I know you were having a bit of a hard time with this whole ltttc which is totally understandable. xx

  Hi OP,
  I'm pleased all your results so far have come back ok.
  Blood test results normally take about 1 wk to come back. If the consultant requested them the results will go back to him not your gp, so you've done the right thing leaving a mess for the secertary.
  I wanted to ask the same as MB, is a HyCosy the same as a HSG, normally you have this about 1wk after the first day of your period.
  They insert a catheter into your womb and pump dye in and then take Xray photos. I found it quite painful but others have said that it was fine. I would recommend that you take the day off work though.
  Hope this helps, good luck
  xxxxxxx

  Hi Smiley~ Yes I'm definately taking a bit of comfort in every test that comes back ok, but still feel like I'm struggling a bit. I just want to wave my magic wand and have all the tests finished and results back as good or bad I feel like I just need to know now. I really feel like I need to know what we're dealing with so I can get my head round IVF or adoption if necessary or just to confirm that it should happen naturally eventually and that I just need to be patient.
  
  Moonbean, that's what I think it is, I'm sure a catheter and a balloon is involved.... what a strange little party lol! I just heard dye and then saw talk of a lap n' dye and wondered if it was the same thing or if dye is just the 'in' thing within LTTC circles lol!
  
  I'm very interested to see what DH next SA comes back as, he doesn't smoke but he did have the odd cigar and was quite a big drinker of booze and coffee and he's made an effort cutting down on those so fingers crossed......!
  
  Thanks Jess, I'll take a day off for it and ask DH to aswell so he can come with me and re-do his SA also. 3 weeks does seem to be a while then... no call back yet I'll try again early next week if no joy..
  
  Thanks again girlies xx

  Hi hun.
  No a lap and dye is something totally different, its a more intrusive procedure. Its a good idea to take hubby with you, they say you cant drive afterwards and although he's probably not allowed in with you, its good to have him there for moral support xxxxxxxxx

  Thanks Jess, I'll make she he takes the day off too. I'm not sure how long it takes to get an appt, considering getting it done privately.
  
  I'll keep you all posted x
