Hi Michelle

They just give you either +ve or -ve don't they ? .... ie. if -ve, no telling on whether just below or shocking ... I don't really think they're much use for girls who've got to our stage, actively seeking tests/tmt etc ... ie. most of us already know if there is a male factor problem.

I can see they'll be useful for couples just starting out at the trying-to-get-pregnant-stage though.
