    Nic - thanks, I'm about to embark on the AC / IVF / unknown AC path next cycle and I'm sure then I'll have a better idea of just how stressful it is. Until Istarted TTC I had no idea just how emotionally draining it all was. I have a confession, embarassingly my aunt used IVF when I was a teen, and I was silently thinking "oh if she just relaxes, it will happen". Im glad I said nothing to her. Ahhh I hope that karma doesnt come back to bite me on the bum, how wrong was I!!! Just thinking about it is stressful, and LTTC is stressful. I was sooooo wrong. You guys are incredibly strong and I admire you heaps. Goodluck Nic for your cycle

    Im not even sure Im considered LTTTC yet (only 12 cycles), but I feel the pain and about to embark on AC so I hope its ok to be here?

    EDIT:Nic I just saw your post in 'ttc' about sperm antibodies. This is about the only test we haven't had! Is it done as part of a usual SA? We have had two SA's done and I've never heard anything about it. We have poor swimmers and (way TMI) but I find it really hard to have any arousal fluid at all so we think maybe his swimmers find it hard to swim in the acidic environment?
