What's next

[Clacton]

Hi all

We've been TTC since 14th Feb. Got my diagnosis of PCOS in November and had our first appointment with a fertility clinic last week.

Our next appointment is on Thursday where I will be having blood tests (random as they can't figure out my cycle - so glad we've all agreed on something so far 🙄😂) and a scan to check reserves. My OH also has his first sperm analysis....which he is being ridiculously reluctant about.

Can anyone run through what my reserve scan will be like? Also anyone else's partner being a bit crazy about their small effort in having to produce a sample? I understand it is because he is worried about what they will say, but I want all the answers now so that we can understand our next options. The doctor at the clinic (privately run so I'm not sure how much I trust add ons) recommended inofolic - anyone used and had any luck?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I know we will be right at the start of our journey, so I'm sure I'll be on here a lot more - it's all very confusing! Xx

Not the same situation but similar. My day 23 progesterone was only 12 so started on Clomid this cycle. Dh has to provide a sample for analysis.... we've had the forms and the pot in the house for 3 weeks and he hasn't made the phone call. Despite the fact that apparently the only thing he wants in the world is a baby.

Hi Dolwar

Frustrating isn't it! Completely get the fear, but it seems a lot better than my tests that I've had to have and will be having in future!

Fingers crossed your OH gets started! Xx

I Know. My veins are awful and Im having my bloods done again tomorrow. All he had to do is go in a pot but has he done it? No. Hasn't even phoned up to make the appointment
