Hi Ladies, me and my oh have been ttc for 3 years, i had bloods done about a year ago and came back all clear. As my oh was working alot we weren't trying properly at first so we never thought to get him tested as we thought we needed to try properly to see if we could conceive.
Anyway a few months ago we decided to see the gp as nothing was happening after we did start trying 2 years ago and he advised my oh that they would start by doing an sa and see if that comes back with a problem as to why we couldnt conceive.
2 weeks later we got the call, we just paniced like hell right up to the appointment with the gp, we didn't think the result was as bad as we first thought but we have no experience or knowledge about anything to do with fertility, the result came back with 50% motility and a count of 40 million and some of the sperm were not correctly formed, but as the gp told us he was not experienced in the work of fertility he could only give us limited information, he did say not to stop trying though as he felt these results doesn't mean it was totally impossible to conceive naturally but he said he would refer us to fertility specialists anyway to try and get assistance as we have now trying for so long with nothing.
We decided to look into it on the internet and see if we could get some information and help on how we could try and deal with it ourselves whilst we are waiting for our first appointment, my oh is now on multi vitamins and selenium to try and up the motility, we live in south ayrshire scotland so i am not sure how long it takes to receive your first appointment through here but hopefully it won't be too long.
My oh doesnt have hot baths where tight boxers or restrict the sperm in anyway so thats not an issue, i decided to start using fertility friend in aiding with temps and ovulation etc brought pre seed gel and we tried instead softcups last month for the first time, i try not to let it get to me but the 2ww is painful emotionally, but when i get period i just sigh and try to keep positive.
I am wondering if anyone has any help or advice or tell me the process of how it all starts i know it takes a long time but we feel if we are doing everything we can ourselves it may give us a better chance conceiving whether it be with assistance or without. We would like to do it ourselves if we can but anything would be appreciated success stories things you have done that has worked or may work would be great
.
Many thanks to all that reply and baby
to us all xXx

. Thats not that long then really is it, we will be seeing them in Ayr its been 3 weeks now since we were referred so fingers crossed, we havent tried maca at all just the main things we found on the internet, but anythings worth a try thanks hun xXx
Plus- with washed sperm, you get the best of the best where they need to be... which would give you better odds. And really, it's not that bad. They'll put you through some tests and monitor your progress and the clinic I went to was fabulous!!!!
