So Dh and I are starting our 6th cycle of TTC. I'm running out of patieance and fast.


He wants to go get tested but we have no clue what to expect. What does a man need to go through to get tested? What does a women go through to get tested?


Also, the who artifical insemintaion, and all that stuff, what is it a good time to starting considering it?


Believe me when I say, I know we can't wait a year to do all the testing, we want to move forward as quickly as possible.

Please let me know what you find out I am in the same exact situation that you are in. I feel as if this is never going to happen and I can NOT wait a year...... that is just way too long. Good luck and hopefully this is your month and you won't have to do any fertility treatment!!

Thanks for responding Amanda, it was very helpful.


I'm still so confused. I have regular periods, I ovulate, my LP is normal length yet I still have not been able to get pregnant. Do you think we are not timing it right?


Could everything be so right yet not at the same time?


I think we will give it one more month and see what happends. This is going to beour 6th cycle TTC, and we're not taking any chances were going to give it 100%.

They look for ovarian cycsts and anything else irregular, and sometimes depending on where you are in your cycle, they will see your egg.

Like PP said, they are checking for cysts and shapes of things and I guess to see if anything is wrong, they even listened to hear blood flow through my tubes...In my case they also were looking at my c/s area to see if I had any abnormal scar tissue - not sure what else she checked but she did one on my tummy then a vaginal u/s and that took twice as long...the u/s tech couldn't tell me anything but the Dr said everything looked fine.

Hello,
I just checked your charts and from what I can see is that you almost stop BDing after you O. I would suggest that you start BDing every other day till you get your +OPK and then two days in a row. I just found that there are many women have a better chance that way.

Good Luck... I will be starting the road that you are looking at. I have been TTC for many months and no luck. DH just had his S/A,B/W and we are waiting for his results.
