Thanks again for your replies

Its comforting to know that there are other people out there, I feel quite alone right now, no one we know has gone through any fertility issues, let alone IVF. We have decided to keep it from out families for now, I couldnt stand the pity from them, or the questions they will ask especially as I dont have the answers myself yet, As well as all the babies around me at the moment! My sister has a 3 month old, DHs sisters have a 6 month old and a 2 week old...not to mention my best friend has a 4 month old and another close friend has a 5 month old. My boss is 30 weeks pregnant and I work in the babies room at a childcare center. I swear the timing could tot be any worse

DH seems to be more concerned with the needles that I am! I told him he could help me with them and he freaked out and wants to get BIL to come and help *him* Hahaha

We both work full time so the appointments will be tricky as we have already discovered
But we had been planning on me leaving work anyway at the end of this financial year as we assumed Id be pregnant by now I think with this upon us we may as well stick with the plan.

Slyder, we are unsure about DHs sperm count as yet, first SA on saturday however the doctor doesnt seem confident there will be anything there because of how bad his condition has already progressed.
Although I was re-reading the u/s report and it says the epididymis is unremarkable, so that has given me a little hope. Nothing interesting in the "storage unit" has to be a good thing right?

Thanks for the info about the prices Its definately affordable with the medicare rebate!

I was explaining to DH last night about the process..he started to get very excited and wanting to know if they could engineer a boy, or twins I told him after the last few days that he should be happy with whatever we get, and he is, but now he is excited that we may just get the 2-3 we were planning on..

Thanks for listening to my rambles, its nice to get it out somewhere
