I've been looking for a while but never posted before! I know you are all experts so hope you can give me some tips and answer a question.

We've been ttc for 16 months now, both 29 and referral has been made to fertility clinic in Edinburgh. My progesterone was low (3) and husbands sperm count was slightly low in both analyses (can't remember figure but they said slightly low). He has been asked to come in for a blood test next week and says that they said the results would take 6 weeks so best to do it ASAP. Does anyone know what this is for?

If anyone has any general advice, tips or a similar experience to share then I would appreciate it. We've been taking lots of supplements (conception multivitamin/a-a vit for him, omega 3/6/9, ashwagandha, coeq10 and a probiotic), generally eat v healthily and exercise, have cut down on alcohol! Any ideas welcome :)

Thanks everyone

Hello, the only blood test DH was asked to do was to check for Rubella immunity, Hep B and HIV. I had the same blood test though and the results only took a few days so not sure if it would be this.

Good luck with your treatment!
