Trying To Conceive...

So, to fill you in on our trying to conceive (ttc) journey...
Miles and I have been ttc since August 2006. We had confirmation in April 2007 that we will require In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) with Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) to conceive. Miles has antibodies in his sperm.
When the antibodies are found on the tail, sperm tends to be immobilized or may clump together. Antibodies positioned on the head prevent the sperm from properly binding to the egg, thereby preventing fertilization from taking place.
We have 100% binding antibodies. We call them hippy sperm!!

This obviously was devastating to us both. We are currently on a Government funded waiting list (12 month wait) but have decided to get things moving by paying for a private cycle.
