Its been so quiet on here for the last few days - it must be because Squirrel is away! Hurry back everyone 
We got our test results back yesterday - DH had his SA and I had blood tests taken. I have to say the doctor was a lovely guy but bless him he didnt know much. I think I knew more than him with my BnB knowledge!!
My bloods were normal except for my progesterone, it showed as being very low at 5 (he was saying above 15 would show I had ovulated). But he was really confused as I got a +opk and my cycles are reasonably regular. What Ive since found out is that you need to do this day 21 test 7 days AFTER you ovulate, or 7 days prior to AF. I went 2 days after I got the +opk so no wonder the bloody test was low!!
DH SA was normal volume, morphology (quality), concentration. On the motility two of the readings were normal, but then there was 66% immobile. But the doctor didnt have the healthy range to work out what the normal range was. He seemed to think it was on the high side but not that bad.
Ive been doing a bit of research and think that whilst I may not be ovulating I think its more likely my test has been screwed up, but DH's sperm may not be very mobile. We have an appointment with a fertitility clinic on 3rd November to find out more and hopefully they will be able to give us more information. In the meantime I think I am going to start using soft cups as hopefully it will help the little
get a bit closer to where they should be!
What does everyonelse think?
