    Kim, the other thing that you may find useful is the acupuncture centre that both me and Sammi Jane go to, it's in Rozelle, which is an hour's drive (usually a bit more) each way for me, but I just won't be without it now, it has been so helpful. Google the Rozelle Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Centre - they specialise in infertility, IVF support, etc, and may have some suggestions of what you could do to help out your DH, and yourself.

    Thanks for that!

    I have spoken to the nurse at the FS who suggested that chinese herbs/accupuncture should be spoken about with my dr first as some herbs etc aren't good to take while doing IVF. But my DH has made an appt with a place in Paddington that I have been too also that does the same thing! But I will look into the Rozelle practise it sounds great!

    Thanks,
    Kim

    Kim.b, it's very frustrating when experts tell you different things isn't it? I don't know how a FS could have told you that 3% morph is ok. Although, in saying that I have read about a number of women who have fallen pregnant with lower morph, but it would take a while.

    Could you have a HSG done to check that your tubes are clear etc for your peace of mind?

    I agree with BW, I would definitely see an acupuncturist to get their opinion on your DH's numbers. Ours is great, but I'm sure the one you've got is good too.

    When are you starting IVF?

    Im going to see my new FS this Friday, hopefully starting IVF ICSI straight away. By the way could I have the name of the accupuncturist you go to in Rozelle.

    Ta,

    The two acupuncturists at the centre are Jann and Leah. Both Sammi and I see Leah. I can never remember how to spell her surname, though!
