Hi I read your earlier post. I am sorry to hear about your BFN. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what all tests have you had done? I ask because it seems that we are in the same spot. I am 25 and Dh is 27. We have been ttc for over a year and nothing. I have had every test in the book and everything has come out normal . . . Dh count was normal- but low end. They say he is at 70%, and they like men to be at 73%, but it was nothing to worry about. I am sorry again about your BFN, but I am sure we will both have a BFP soon . . .I mean, theres no reason we shouldn't right? Sometimes I wish they would find something wrong just so that we could fix it and move on- ya know? I wonder if everyone is right and I am trying too hard and that in turn makes it NOT happen . . . what do you think. I would hate to think that I am the reason for my own infertility!

Hi!Danielle!
Thanks for being supportive about the BFN.
I have had every test done such as
Endometrial Biopsy
Hystersalpingogram
Laparoscopy
Hysteroscopy
FSH, LH, Estradiol levels
TSH levels ( I am hypothyroid but everything is in normal range)
Passed clomid challenge test..
HAve full surges for Lutenizing hormone..
I ovulate and have periodsthat a re normal..
DId the clomid 2 months. Hubs SA that was done in dec.. showed 31 mil (20-380mil)in ref.range. His motility is about 80-82 %.has some abnormal morphs10-15%wbc and 5-10% red blood cells. normal morph is about 68%
I know it is SO frustrating thinking why isnt this happening!!
morphology is 68 percent...
Have u done IUI yet? with Clomid or injectibles?
let me know! tons and tons of baby dust to u! Anne

Anne, I have done an IUI with 100mg of clomid. I did it this month and I am currently 9dpo. So we will see if it worked. I am going to try this once more and then move on to IUI with injectables. I have not had a clomid challenge test, but I know its working because I am not producing multiple follies. I have u/s every month. I also haven't had an endometrial biopsy. . . what is that? Does it hurt? I do have a tight cervix. I don't know if that is normal or not but both times my Dr had tried to get in my uterus it takes 45 min. And I usually bleed. Maybe that has nothing to do with anything. I am just self diagnosing now HOW PATHETIC- RIGHT? I don't know the details of my husbands SA. But my Dr. just said that everything was in the normal range except morphology was a bit low. She said that they would like for it to be at at least 73% but it is at 70%. So, I don't think that is a real problem. . . I don't think. Anyway, how long have you been ttc? What is your age?

Hi Daniell!
I just turned 38..so time is kind of running out for me .. I dont wanna be 50 when I have a kid! lol
Endometrial biopsy is kind of like a pap smear..but doctor takes a sample of the lining it is usually done a few days before onset of AF. They did mine after I ovulated that week which didnt make sense. You end up n\having a little spotting afterward and some cramping during it.. Take some Motrin or tylenol if in case u need one done eventually.
Sounds like you are doing everything right.. Let me know and update me with your progress ok!!! sending baby dust your way!!Anne
ps...ttc about 8 months or so. I hear injectibles are supposed to up the chances quite a bit!!! I am going on 2 amps a night for 7 nights I beleive..keep me posted ok!!!!
