Hey Gwen :smt006 I guess things must be a bit different in Wales, but I'll tell you what happened for us....

We told our GP how long we had been TTC & he organised for Aaron to have a semen analysis done. They will test your DH first cos the tests are much less invasive (apparently) than the tests we have to go through. When the results came back the Dr was a bit concerned so he gave Aaron a referral to an endocrinologist. He expected that everything would be ok, so he gave me a referral to another Dr (not sure what type he is yet) saying to go after Aaron had the all clear.

Sooooo Aaron goes to the endocrinologist who says his sperm count is low. They then did more tests - another semen analysis, blood tests & urine analysis. The results came back last Wednesday saying sperm count was exactly the same (low ) and that there was nothing we can do about it. They have said we will get pg eventually, but IVF is probably the way we'll have to go if we don't want to wait for 5 years or so (after waiting 2 already, it's a looong time).

My appointment with the specialist is on July 5th. I'm not sure what happens there, what tests or anything, I just have to wait and see. I think they will probably want to give me a laparoscopy (sp?) as my Dr has suspected endometriosis for a number of years.

After I get the all clear (hopefully) I think we'll start talking about IVF. We want a big family, so I can't wait around for too long.

Once I get back from my appoinment on the 5th I'll update you on what happened - that way you can be a bit more prepared than I was!!

Good luck
