Hi from ICLW!
I was just reading through your history and wanted to say how angry it makes me that OBs always wait so long to test the husband! You guys spent a year and a half trying (with 5 Clomid cycles no less!) before they thought, "hmmm, maybe we should see if there are sperm issues...?" It just kills me and makes me so mad! Many, many couples could be saved a lot of heartache, time and money if they'd just check the husband first! Argh! (Sorry... this is a touchy subject for me. :)
