    Hi everyone,

    I am new to this thread. I have been on an American website (FertileThoughts) for a couple of months and it has been great, but thought I'd try an Aussie thread as well.

    I am not sure if I am on the right thread, so let me know if there is a better one for my situation ... DH and I have been TTC on and off now for about 3.5 years (we've had breaks during some other difficult times in our lives but are back in the game ).

    We decided to have fertility testing, because even though we haven't been actively trying for the whole 3.5 years, at the times we were, it still seemed to be taking a bit too long. I am 35 and DH 53 (32 and 50 respectively when we started). So I had blood work and DH had a SA. Other than DH having borderline-low motility (which FS thinks should not be a problem at all) we have no fertility issues. FS has suggested a laparoscopy for me and I am scheduled for August 20. I am hoping the lap will reveal something

    So depending on lap results, we will either try naturally for a couple more months, or proceed to IUI or IVF, depending on what FS recommends. I'm that I have no issues and can try naturally for a bit longer, or if possible get straight into IUI.

    So am I in the right place?

    Look forward to getting to know you all and giving each other support during our TTC journey.
