Heya. I've just started out with fertility testing - bloods and S/A..

If anyone else is going through this I'd really like to chat about it.

We've just found out that OH has low morphology (6%) and we're being referred to a urologist.

OH is now officially banned from alcohol until we make a baby

hi ive just read your thread.

I just want to let you know there is hope.

I was infertile up till 7 wk ago due to my tubes being blocked and closed and DB had dosile swimers we are all fixed up and ready for that bfp.

I was begining to think i would never be a mother again (as i have a son).

There are amazing things they can do for you these days.

keep positive hun.

Oh wow!

Thanks for posting. I'm a bit of a mess really.
OH got the morphology news yesterday and Dr has just called to say my LH levels are very low and that even if we did conceive... its unlikely that I'd be able to carry it...

We're being referred to a FS so fingers crossed.

I'm sorry to hear that your LH levels are low too Caz. But on the other hand I'm glad you went to the docs after 6 months of trying. In a way I wish I'd done the same.

cazd · Jul 30th, 2009, 06:56 AM

Yeah - I'm very pleased.
We did cheat the system a bit - saying we'd been TTC for 12 months when it was only 6 but I'm glad we did!!!

At least now we know what's wrong and we can work to fix it...

Just learned something interesting...

PCOS causes a rise in the production of LH - which causes too many eggs to be matured - and that causes cysts.

I've had one ovary taken out 'cos of PCOS but now my LH is low... so the other one must be clear from PCOS !

i'll join the team!

Just had cd21 and 28 done, DH has to have SA done when we come back from holiday in 2 weeks, then we're getting referred

I was diagnosed with PCOS before TTCing and never asked if it was one or both that were the problem

Ilove · Jul 30th, 2009, 08:22 AM

Heya!

I had blood tests done but they didn't include the specific CD tests..
OH had a S/A but becuase both rounds threw up problems we've been referred to FS.

With PCOS did they find elevated LH? just curious to find out if what a learned today is true...!

Wonder how long the referral to FS will take to turn into an appointment in our separate counties....
