I'm just curious as to the different circumstances that have lead people to sadly belong to the Long Term forum. What I mean is, what are your fertility problems? I don't mean to sound rude, I just wonder how common different things are, if we are suffering from the same sorts of things IYKWIM.

For us, we were TTC for 20months before looking into our fertility - figured no it wasn't going to happen to us. So anyway we got Aaron tested first & turns out that our problem was a low sperm count.

Motility & all of that were fine, just the count was low - 5million. We were told that it could take us up to 5yr to get pregnant & that IVF was probably where we were headed.

We had always been told, as most people are, to BD every second day as it gives the body a chance to replenish the sperm count. Turns out that for us it didn't matter - 2hrs or 2days the count would be the same. So as soon as it came O time we BDed as much as possible & the rest is history
