Thank you for your input, it really is appreciated!

One more month and we will be seeing our GP for a referral. We decided to give it a full 12 months of actively trying before seeking further medical treatment/advice.

Not long to go now, and by the sounds of it, IUI doesnt seem as bad as i initially thought.

First thing I will ask them to do is check my tubes (Im sure they will anyway - just to make sure!)

But once again - thank you
