Hi Stephie - I totally understand your frustration.

We asked for basic tests at the six-month mark (blood tests, ultrasound and sperm count). There were costs for these but you can get some money back from Medicare. Everything was fine or borderline, so we kept trying and then saw a FS at 10 months. It took 14 months to conceive, and we're a young(ish!!) healthy couple.

If you're concerned, it wouldn't hurt to at least ask for blood tests to see what's happening with your hormones. Don't worry too much about the caffeine thing, although anything you guys can do to make sure your diet is shipshape is a good idea. We did see an improvement in my DH's sperm quality after he started eating better, exercising more and taking Menevit.

Good luck, hope you get that beautiful BFP very soon.
