All our tests have come back fine but nothing has happened for us naturally... been trying over 2 years now....
Had clomid and metformin last year with NHS - no joy.....
So now we have bitten the bullet and gone private for IVF.
If everything is fine with us why do we need help
it just doesn't make sense - or seem fair.... 
Anyway I had to get my weight down - and I have - in 3 months - whilst I had more tests done I have lost 20 odd lbs - amazing what you can do when you want something so bad! I'm really quite proud of myself.
But I still have a lot more to lose so I am on a quest ( I gained lots wilst on the clomid/metformin combo!
Had scan today and I am on day 11 of my cycle, there are 5 follicles in my left ovary and 6 in my right - I was told this is average - and excellent for a woman of my age - 39, almost 40. But it seems such a few Is this right? This is with no medication
My fsh level for the last 3 cycles was 8 and 9, I am told this is very good and encouraging.
Hubbys sperm count had been low 25% then ok ish 37% then now we are told it's fine
he has been told to reduce drinking and smoking and miscarriage has been mentioned as being a higher risk if he smokes and drinks too much, has anyone else heard this? I don't smoke and hardly drink much
We are all signed up but we just need a few more bloods taken then we start and I have to go to learn about injecting and my drugs - they are saying I will possibly start this month.... I am so, so excited but nervous.....
Any advice / experience as to what to expect and what your thoughts are on my results would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance xxx: flower:
