Sadly, yes.

Our first appointment with our FS was us being asked question after question, and then being sent for tests upon tests - for both of us. We had questions, but they weren't answered.

At the second appointment, once all the test results were in - that's where we got our money's worth. Fact is, they can't answer the questions you have until they have all the details in front of them. They could spend ages going through different scenarios only to find they aren't relevant.

As for the sperm analysis - the IVF clinics do it differently to other places and will pretty much all require another sample to be done and analysed through them - particularly as things can change in time.
