@maybebaby80...I did 2 cycles of Clomid and 2 cycles of Femara (neither worked for me). The plus side (if there is one) to Femara is that you don't have the mood swings like you do on Clomid. My insurance company paid for Femara (because it's not for fertility) but not Clomid, although the generic Clomid was only $18. Femara is not a fertility drug persay. It's for post-menapausal breast cancer survivors I think. Considering that I'm neither post-menapausal nor a breast cancer survivor, I didn't want to take it again. Not sure of the long term effects. Hope this helps some.

@victoryismine...there is a way to do a Semen Analysis (SA) that he may comply with. Last year when me and my DH were going through the unending testing, our RE said that for the SA we could have sex (with a condom, if i remember correctly), put the condom in their lab cup and bring it to their office within the hour. Basically while it's still warm. That was at the Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine. I am no longer going there as their approach to me was "loose 50lbs and come back to see us". I am now awating my appointment at Emory Reproductive Center. That's at the end of the month.

Hopefully this will be a solution your LH can agree to.
