Hi Metaphorica

Glad we were able to help just a little I know its early days for you but it seems you are looking towards the future and thats what you need you can do this again.

Just a little story for you may help My first born is from a previous relationship and when I married my DH in the late 80s we TTC from day 1. 2yrs later we decided to get tested and found my DH had a very low sperm count we had IUI with his sperm 4 times after it was cleaned and all the bad ones taken out well to be honest we were told he had hardly any good ones. After much heart ache my DH asked if I would consider donor sperm and after a few months looking into it I decided yes I would give it a go. This was back in the late 80s early 90s so fertility help was not as it is today. Anyhow I had 2 lots of donor insemination and got a BFP on the 2nd attempt we were so pleased and went on to have a healthy baby boy in 91. Well 3 yrs later we decided to try again and use the same clinic and same donor. I started my blood tests and so on ready to take the damn clomid and to my great surprise I was already pregnant ! normal conception with a so called very low almost none existent sperm count. SO THERE IS HOPE for you still.

I now have 9 children the last 7 were normal conception with my hubby and all are to us miracles it seemed the older we got the more fertile he got don't make any sense at all I know. We have lost 5 due to miscarriage along the way but never two in a row ! so when people make comments about me having so many kids I just brush it off as they don't know my story and I have let god give me as many kids as he wants me to have he truly has blessed me and those first 3 yrs of trying and all that heartache has all gone now but I do remember how it made me feel !

Hope it helps and thanks for reading anyway !

:cross fingers: one day you will have a good result too !
