The final countdown for IVF

So I've neglected my blog lately,

I'm now back in Lithuania since April 26th, Things were very hectic.
Last monday the 3rd May I had my first appointment back with my fertility specialist.
I was 2dpo and at the time would could see on the transvaginal ultrasound,
that I had ovulated from the right ovary (my good side :) as I only have one full fallopian tube)
However I have a cyst (3cm) on my left side, potentially what's been making my cycles so out of whack the last 6 months.
Anyways if worst comes to worst I have to do 'long protocol IVF'

But if it goes away BY Af time then I will start stimming on cd3-5 of my next cycle.
It will be my first transvaginal scan on my period so not looking forward to that, but we have to do what we have to do.

Of course I'm hoping AF won't turn up at all :) but we'll see, need to wait another week to find out about that.

Dh had a new semen analysis on wednesday the 5th ( ironiclly our 3rd wedding anniversary)
The results were pretty good 60% good morphology, 84 million sperm per ml,30% fastest (A),50% (B) and 6%(c)not moving 14% (d) dead

Now is on exciting time maybe just maybe we can do this naturally or if not we get to start IVF and get a much bigger chance of having our much wanted child.
Its so hard to be positive all the time when you know that it might not work out.
It is such a huge investment physcially, emotionally and obviously financially we've wanted to do this for years especially since 2008 but it took us from april 2009 to now to save up enough money to do this and even then it will send us broke to do it but we're so over ready and we cannot wait any longer to take the next step.

    I know you guys are ready to start IVF, it sounds like you would be good candidates for it too, I think. Best wishes and keep us posted!
