Omg lolo!!!! So excited for you!!!! I have decided to do the hsg, it's called femvue and is done in the drs office, I'm doing it next month, as well as some more bloodwork and ultrasound. Then the next step will be IUI. I also have dh on fertility blend. Lolo did you do anything special or did it just finally happen? It's been 20 months of trying for us now.
Lanet, after exhausting all avenues thinking there must be something wrong with my body and finding absolutely nothing wrong, I decided to look at DH's SA results again. His numbers were high, and his morphology was a little low (10%) based on strict criteria. This didnt worry me. But somehow I had previously overlooked his poor motility. He had 28% when normal is 55%. I looked online for other couples with this problem. A few different ladies had listed sperm cocktails prescribed by a urologist that had helped them.
I combined some of what I found on those lists, spent about $70 on Puritan'sPride.com and got a few months worth of vitamins for DH. After taking them for about 2 months we finally caught the egg. In case anyone reading this later wants to know what it was I had him taking everyday:
L-Carnitine 2000mg
Acetyl L-Carnitine 1000mg
Zinc 50mg
N-Acetyl Cysteine 600mg
CoQ-10 60mg
Flaxseed 1000mg
Vit C 500mg
Folic Acid 400 mcg
Up&Up brand multivitamin (at Target) 1 tablet
I threw the multivitamin in because I had them and figured they couldnt hurt. They were not on the lists I found. The lists did ask for some expensive mens mutli from GMC though, so I basically just substituted.
I also already had the folic acid, Vit C, and Flaxseed in the med cabinet. These WERE on the lists but I dont want you to think I got these as part of the $70 I spent. In reality you'd spend around $100 if youre starting from scratch. Puritans pride was having a buy one get 3 free sale.
All in all he was taking 12 pills a day. What a trooper

I firmly believe that this (and prayer) got us our BFP
