It is all ok. I had tests and I was scared too but really nothing to worry about, just relax prior to going in and then listen to music. It is painless. I am now down for IUI treatment and then IVF. I feel the same but you get a huge wash of hope when something is being done. Good luck keep us posted x We will get there.

I also have just joined. We have been trying to get pregnant for almost year and a half. We both have had tests done. My husband has quite poor motility but other counts are fine. I had tests done also- scan showed good amount of follicles but blood test showed that my FSH was high, so the two contradict one another. We have been recommended to have ICSI. The doctor would not do dye test as I also have crohns. I find it hard to confide in others as no one in family or group of friends has any experience. Its a difficult process!

I had miscarried and then was unable to conceive so the consultant sent me to have the dye test done - but quite some time ago I have to say. My husband had previously had a child with someone else, so I thought it was me and I gave myself such a hard time, blaming myself and feeling as if people were pointing fingers and whispering behind my back. The dye test showed there was nothing wrong and the consultant sent me home and asked me to go back in 3 months - but I did fall on pregnant in that time, and went on to have a healthy 'big' baby. I miscarried again while trying for another baby some years later, and then once again found it hard to conceive.
I took it upon myself to 'prop' myself up with cushions (I had heard of others putting their feet on the wall) to help things along, and it worked for me. I have recommended this to a number of people I have known to be struggling to conceive, and it worked for them too.

After having my two children I decided after hearing a radio plea/campaign for egg donors to go along and see what it entailed. My husband was keen for me to do this too, and was most supportive. I donated three times in all and helped two families have children that I know of. Each time I had to take a higher dose of drugs as I had fewer and fewer eggs each time I went through the cycle - I wondered if this was the real cause of my struggle to conceive.

The countless times I hear of ladies in the same situation as yourselves it makes me want to cry. I know I was fortunate and that is why I donated, so that others could be fortunate too - hell IVF is a hard long road for some - I know from a close friend that it can tear you apart inside and can be a real strain on your relationship.
I also know that for some there is no rhyme or reason for why they cannot conceive - a very dear close friend has been in that circumstance for a long time and is now starting with menopause. She nor her husband had any reason not to conceive, they were both healthy but her sister could not conceive due to complications so had to do the IVF route and after three attempts it finally worked and they have a lovely healthy boy of 18 months now. She will never conceive on her own so it would have to be IVF if they want more children.

I wish you all the very best with your plights, try not to take it out on yourself, but work through it and keep an open and positive mind.
