Hi all,
34 and have been trying ttc for almost 1 yr. Have recently been to doctors for intial tests and everything has come back normal. Going for ultrasound in 2 weeks so hoping everything will be ok. Partner (35) is also going for sperm analysis next week so fingers crossed.
Never did i imagine i would want a baby so much until the possiblity of infertility raised its ugly head. Still early days yet in our journey of ttc but have not been able to think of anything else for the last 3 months, feels like im in some kind of limbo state!
I think my age is causing me concern as i hear so often about how difficult it can become for women over 30 to conceive.
Anyhoos thats my journey so far..not much to report but i will keep you updated.
Thanks and shed loads of baby dust to all ttc!!!

Well dh sa didnt go as well as hoped. Everything seemed within normal range apart from morphology which is 6%. He needs to re-test again in few weeks and if the results are the same then we will be refered to a specialist.
I also had a vaginal ultrasound this week and again not everything came back 'normal'. They found 2 fibroids 9 and 10 mm in size, doc doesnt think they big enough to be of any real concern. Theres also the possiblity that i have pcos, as 'multiple follicles' were found on both ovaries. They wont know for sure if its pcos until they run biochemical tests, but i would be surprised if it were as i have regular periods and no other symptons. All will be revealed in time i suppose.
Have felt very down about all these 'abnormalities' :(
just wanted to hear that everything was 'normal' and when you dont its like a kick in the stomach, but its making me stronger and im determined to stay positive:)
Good luck to you all :) with Lots and lots of babydust!!!
