Anyone just beginning fertility testing?

The line turned pink within seconds, I toke a pic when the line was fresh, and this pic was when it had dried.
I'll be buying a clear blue tonight x

Sounds promising! FRER are good too. They've never failed me. Good luck!:happydance:
 
:wave: Hello everyone! My husband and I have our first appointment with the RE on Monday, so I wanted to join up. We've had a little testing done already: AMH for me - 1.03 ng/mL, so on the low end and SA for DH - his results are super low, so we feel pretty certain that we will either have to try to get his numbers up or do IVF. We're ready to get the process started! I just started a journal (link in sig) and would love to have you all join me!

Hey melissa! Look into Royal Jelly and Lysine for your DH. There's lots of info online. Just type something like "royal jelly sperm count" or "lysine sperm count". Not only do they help sperm count but also overall sperm health (motility, morphology, etc.)
 
Hello everyone,

how are all of you doing?:hi:

I just sent in my counsyl test, so we will find out if there are any genetic issues in my or Dh's, DNA.

Hi lavender, can you tell me some more information about the test for DNA. I really think we need one of them. X
 
Just checking in keeping my fingers crosses hoping that everybody's tests are normal and positive.
No updates from me yet, 8 more days 'til the RE induces a cycle and testing begins. :)

Thanks mandy. I hope all goes well for you as well!

I'm going for more blood work today (FSH). Hopefully just one vial of blood this time and not 23! LOL
 
Hey girls!

My midwife just called me to let me know that all my bloodwork looked good except for the fact that I have an extra gene mutation on the MTHFR gene. She said she doesn't think that's causing the miscarriages because you usually have to have two mutations for it to cause them.

Do you girls know anyone with this issue?
 
Hi all! So I am starting to go down the road of fertility testing. Trying naturally has so far gotten us a chemical pg and I am 40.5 now. Went to the RE today who said I should try IVF - everything else is waste of my time. Thinks I have a great chance as my ovaries look great. I had an antral follicle count of 26 (10+16), which she thought was excellent for my age. I still don't quite understand what that means but happy anyway...
 
Hi Driving,
I am planning on starting IVF next month so I have learned a lot but I still don't understand some things. I am 30 and I had an ultrasound and she counted 28 antral follicles. She told me this was higher then average which they like to see because it is a sign that I should respond to IVF well and produce a good amount of eggs. It unfortunately doesn't dictate quality, which would be nice to know but I guess some things have to be left to chance. That is very good news for you, have you had your AMH tested yet? Do you think you will go through IVF? Because of my DH's infertility it is our only option. Good luck with everything!
 
Thanks, Lavendar! Good luck with your IVF journey! We conceived DS four years ago on the first try, so it is kind of a hard choice to go to intervention. I am going to get AMH and other bloodwork done on CD 3 and then decide whether to try more on our own or do IVF. The dr. did emphasize that quantity is not quality though it helps. And for you, a 30 y.o's eggs should still be jumping at the chance of fertilization :) For me, the dr. said that IVF is the only workable option if we don't get pg naturally (partially b/c I have a uterine issue where I can't chance twins).
 
Hi, my husband and I have been trying for 14 months now and nothing ever happened. We started seeing the doctor in our town for testing back in May. Both our blood tests were fine. My husband did 3 semen analysis and all of them showed low sperm count. I did a HSG (dye-test) to see if my fallopian tube were blocked, but everything was fine. My doctor told me that the technician didn't save the results, so if the fertility clinic needs them, I have to do it again. Not happy about that one. My husband as a test in the city on November 15th with the fertility doctor, but not me. So, we have no idea what that appointment is about, and like many of you, I am mostly worried about how long it's going to take before we get pregnant. I am interested in sharing my experience with all of you as I read through yours. Happy thoughts for everyone! :)
 
Hi Marie,
That's terriable that they didn't keep the results. I hope the fertility doctor can give you some answers. I know we started with a male fertility specialist because we knew the issue at least started with my DH. I wish you luck and and I am looking forward to hearing about what you find out.
 
Thank you! I will keep everyone updated! I hope for you everything will come into place and that you'll have answers to your questions. Good luck!
 
Hey thought I'd update you ladies that my OH and I have decided to halt testing and take a break from TTC until we are married in 2015. Then we will probably resume testing. Wishing you all the best of luck with your journeys x
