Another update!

[FJL]

I spoke to our FS today regarding DH's sperm results (which was done by the scientists) and as expected they came back with low count, motility and morphology. The machine is broken that helps them to determine what % are damaged so we don't find out the nitty gritty stuff for another week.

FS said that we will be doing ICSI which is what I suspected ages ago anyway, so no surprise there.

Start my shots on the 7th of July, all going well and if my body responds the way it should we will be doing an egg collection at the beginning of August and embryo transfer 5 days later.

Soooooooo excited!!! Also been feeling a bit down that our TTC journey has come to this but very thankful to have this option. Scary that this is our ONLY option though.

Thats fantastic news! Not about the sperm results but the beginning of everything so soon!!

Update in the appointment thread so we can keep track of whats going on when!

And lots of luck sweetie

*Hugs* I think I missed something but see your on the IVF journey!

Wishing you so much luck FJL x x

 

[Loula]

best of luck! Bad news about the sperm and the machine being broken, is there a chance it might not be as bad as they think?

Just to give you some hope ( if I havent already said this!) My cousin had what they classed zero sperm count/mot/morph and they had icsi and it worked first time and are now parents of month(ish) old twins

 

[Arcanegirl]

Glad youve got a final decision and things are on the move. I hope the first cycle works for you

 

[Vickie]

Glad things are moving forward for you. Good luck!

 

[polo_princess]

[maz]

Yeah!! I'm so glad things are on the move for you. It's not nice knowing that things aren't happening naturally but at least things can be done. And you could have your little baby(ies) in your arms this time next year!!

Congrats and good luck

^ How exciting we will be doing our first cycles (and both ICSI!) at practically the same time!!!

Are you starting your FSH shots in July or do you mean lucrin? Or are you taking synarel instead of lucrin?

Loula - nope, sperm is NOT good. The results are right its just that the machine that would tell us how damaged the sperm are is not working.

I'd be so thrilled for this to work first go but am preparing myself that it is highly likely it won't work the first go, but no matter how much I tell myself to be prepared I will be gutted if it turns out to be a BFN.

Helen, I think I will keep a diary! Maybe i'll call it 'confessions of psycho woman' even the pill makes me act crazy so poor DH is scared of what the hormones will do to me LOL

 

[wannabmum]

As far as I know it will be FSH, what they have told me is I will go in on CD2 have bloods & Scan + start injections then go in evry 2 days there after 4 Blood/scar on day for should also start Antagonist then on approx day 12 will get HCG inject, Egg pick up 36 hr after and embryo transfer on day 2,3 or 5 depending I will then b on Luteal support in form of gel + poss snuff?? for 2ww

[avistar]

July is coming up really soon!

 

[FJL]

Oh wow, things are slightly different for me. I have to be on the pill for 23 days, then start lucrin shots, 2 days later stop taking the pill, then expect a period within a few days after, then a few days later get a BT done, then pending those results they'll tell me when to start FSH. Then FSH for 14 days with U/S and BT every 2-4 days, then trigger shot, then 36hrs later EPU then 5 days later ET with supportive HCG shots.

I hope this is it for both of us!!!

 

[wannabmum]

So do I huni would b so good to b sitting sharing birth stories nxt year, I must b on short protocol then some people have asked me if I was but I didn't know what they ment but b sounds of things that must b........? May b because of my AMH results I had a fairly high AMH which means I will respond really well but also that they have to b very careful so I don't get OHSS

[Helen]

It's amazing isn't it that after all the waiting and tests and so on that the two of you will go through this together. I wish you both as smooth a ride as possible and a happy result at the end. Everything is crossed.

 

[Linzi]

Good luck to both of you! Not long to go now!
