Test day.
So today, being the all auspicious Friday the 13th, is the day the doctor told us to come back for our test results.
After risking death by scooter, I arrived and found I was the first in the queue! I think they felt bad for me being surrounded by so many obviously pregnant ladies, so decided to rush me through first..
Anyway, test results are as follows:
AMH - 1.96 For my age, the healthy range is between 2.00 and 6.80 so it is on the lower level. I apparently have the ovarian reserve level of a 38 year old.. So not amazing, but also nothing to worry about just yet. I'm not likely to hit menopause next week..
HSG - My fallopian tubes are lovely and clear and my uterus is a very healthy shape aswell.
Mr Man's swimmers - He has MORE than enough swimmers!! They are quite motile and are pretty healthy.. The percentage of "normal sperm" is only 6% (10% + is preferred) but because of the sheer number of sperm he has, he is considered extremely ok.
So, hello again round 1! Fancy seeing you again!
So, in the eyes of the medical world, we are both considered "normal" and "fertile."
Which, of course is good news, but is still doesn't explain our obvious lack of child..
The doctor didn't really offer any advice as to what to do next.. He said I could go for an ultrasound on day 10 to assess when I would ovulate (to maximise our chances of catching the egg) and that he would put me on progesterone after ovulation to assist with implantation and lengthening of my LP.. But he didn't really seem too convinced the progesterone was really needed, and neither am I.
The only other real option he offered was: "If you want to have a baby soon, you can do IUI"..... I told him we weren't interested in IUI or IVF and he pretty much said that we just had to keep waiting then.. And that there was no reason why we wouldn't conceive on our own eventually...
eventually..
eventually..
You have to both love and hate that word don't you?

Talk about timing!
So, after having to abstain for nearly 2 weeks due to AF, SA and the HSG, I was hoping for some fireworks to cause a much anticipated meeting between sperm and egg this month..
I usually ovulate around day 13-14. On day 11 Mr Man decided it would be a good idea to move our beach bbq and then stand on the sand where the bbq was... An urgent trip to the emergency ward and a diagnosis of second degree burns to about 60% of his left foot pretty much killed that mood..
Day 12 Mr Man then woke up with the beginnings of Bronchitis which showed it's full colours on day 13.. He then kindly gave it to me yesterday - day 14.. Now it's day 15, i'm feeling terrible and my temps show I've already ovulated..
So another one bites the dust~~
Oh well! To be honest, both Mr Man and I are both pretty convinced it's not going to happen.. If it does, I think we will be more surprised and shocked than if we won the lotto!
