Ttc#1and 21 - i can understand your frustration on wanting to get started and it's such a shame that your mother is not supportive. To answer your previous question iui and icsi are very different icsi is where they take your eggs and inject them with a single hand picked sperm in the lab then put the embyo back. Iui is where they take a semen sample from your partner and they wash it and then inject it straight into your fallopian tube and allow them to fertilise your egg fairly naturally. Due to your dh's results you would pretty much have to go with icsi. As for your doctor not wanting to refer you yet... Is your dr a fertility specialist or a gp. If they're a gp go somewhere else with your test results and demand a referal to a monash ivf specialist. It's your rite to begin when you want. I hope this has helped. If you are not doing anything tomorrow there is a ttc meet up at southbank and i have met a couple of the ladies before and i think you would find coming along very inspiring and informative. I live at mudgeeraba and have offered anyone from the coast a lift so if you wanted to go pm me and i can take you up. Good luck sweetie.. It's an interesting journey.
