Semen analysis results and next steps

Well, the results are in! As it turns out, Mr. S produces more than enough little guys. That it itself is great, but there's just a tiny little problem - the motility and morphology rates are low at 9.74% and 1% respectively. Needless to say this is not the news I was hoping for but apparently, our Doctor is not concerned and said the results were "actually pretty good". I'd like to see things his way, but I suppose I'll just have to settle for the next best thing. In this case, fully trust that he knows better!

Anyway, our Doctor suggested that if we like and still want to, he can refer me to the fertility clinic so that I can get tested. I will go ahead with this, however I decided to wait and see if my period will start as it should next weekend.

In the meantime, I'll be testing daily. I have a handful of Wondfo tests to use and I'll start using the Clearblue advanced fertility monitor from the next cycle on. This means (to me at least) that I can test as often as I like since it's not technically being wasteful. Hey, that's my reasoning - I never said it would make sense! Anywho, I tested today at 9 DPO and unsurprisingly got a BFN. I'm strangely not bothered by it. Maybe it's the fact that I know we have a lower chance of success than normal, but I'm kind of almost at peace with it...

In other, somewhat related news I've been checking my cervical mucus daily for the first time and I've been having creamy CM since I ovulated. I'm not sure if this is normal for me or not. Time will tell!
