Sue,

I think most here will tell you that the males should have a semen analysis before the women undergo invasive testing. Now, if your ages alter that I do not know.

Let's see what Dr. Harvey recommends.

How long have you been charting? Did you just start this cycle or have you been charting for a couple mos or more? Are your cycles regular? How long are they?
