Forums New posts
Wannabee- that can be a great sign. I had a lot of cramping with my son.
I hate POAS too so I never do it until 14dpo or 14dp ER!
Best of luck. Xx
 
I had cramping with my bfp also! And I could never hold out on poas!!! I did 3 days after my fet and 5 days after fresh... No will power!!
 
Thanks for all the good wishes everyone!! It was so nice to read all of your posts! Recovery has been slow but I'm actually able to sit up a little today and type. I'm taking round the clock painkillers but I'm trying to stretch them out a little today and hopefully not have to take so many.

Ali - fx you don't have a cyst. Maybe your FS can do a quick ultrasound to see what is going on. I had some pain during ovulation last cycle too and I figured it's probably due to the ovary being irritated after ER.

BabyD - my DH had to take doxy too. My RE said it's because they don't want any bacteria in the sperm or it will contaminate the embryo in culture and they won't be able to use it.

Wannabee - welcome! I am a poas addict so good job for holding out so long. Fx for you!

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend!
 
Hi everyone,

My name is Kate and my DH and I have just found out that he has 2 mill sperm and 100% abnormal. Not a great feeling at all.

DH will be having a test end of Jan to see if there is anything we can work with... if we find something (fingers crossed) we will start IVF.

I'd love to be a part of your discussion! It's kinda lonely out here!

Welcome Kate!

There are things they can do both surgically and by changing diet and adding supplements to improve the sperm quality and count. I don't know what your DH's particular issues are, but from what I have heard, there are things they can do. Failing that have you considered using donor sperm? There are plenty of sperm banks that offer you that option as well. Also with donor sperm, you may not have to go the IVF route, you could just do an IUI (way cheaper).

I'm single and 40 and doing this on my own with donor sperm, so if you have any questions about that option, just let me know! Also, I believe there are other ladies here who have DH's with less than stellar swimmers, so I'm sure they can give you some pointers on how to improve his :spermy:

Best,

Ali

Welcome Kate :wave:

I'm so sorry to hear that. :hugs: There are things they can do to try to fix the problem. As Ali mentioned, donor sperm is an option as well.

It is disappointing when you learn that your journey to parenthood will likely be more complicated that other people's. But you can and will reach that goal eventually, one way or another.
 
Got back late last night, and finally updating.

Transfer went really well, and the embryos looked great! I'll start testing in just a few days!
 
Kate- welcome! DH had low sperm count and medium morphology, our RE put him on special vitamins for three months and it did seem to help a lot. We had to do ICSI anyway but it helped the quality for sure! There are more intense meds that can help as well, and donor sperm.

Phantom- Congrats on being PUPO with twins!!

Kate- Welcome.... My husband has low count, low morph, like yours. After many failed attempts at IUIs and naturally TTC, we discovered that he has Varicoceles- so have him checked for that. Aside from the obvious...cigarettes, pot, drugs, alcohol, recent injury/trauma, diet can all attribute to low count and morph. Have him rechecked in a month or so, sperm take about 72 days to reproduce to maturity. ICSI is always a great option for this scenario if you're eager to get going. Best of luck!

Phantom great news hun PUPO with twins :happydance: Hope you're resting and being pampered. Can't wait for this to be our first BFP:hugs: keeping everything crossed for you and the parents :hugs:
 
Kate - I knew there would be plenty of suggestions for improving your DH's :spermy: YAY!

Phantom - congrats for being PUPO with twins! Can't wait to hear how the tests god! YAY!

AFM - I hate how weekends go by so quickly! Seems like it was just Friday night. ARGH. On the more positive side, its getting closer to my next appt with my FS! Friday is the day, can't wait to find out if there is anything wrong with me that is causing my little blasts to not implant. I hope there isn't anything wrong, but if there is, let's hope it is something that is easily fixed!
 
Kate, welcome :hi:

Phantom, congrats on being PUPO. I give you so much credit for doing this for another couple. I think I would crack under the pressure. :thumbup:

Ali, I wish you all the best for Friday. I agree that I rather know the bad I order to fix it quickly. :hugs:
 
Hello ladies! :) I am in the middle of my FET cycle (medicated) and I go February 4 back to my FS and if all looks as it should my FET is scheduled for February 8! I will be putting two of my embies back.
 
yay mommyagain! not too far away :)
phantom so glad it went well!! fx for you :)
 
Hi ladies,
Just wanted to give a quick update on my progress. I just took my trigger shot about an hour ago and ER is on tuesday. I have 31 follies now. Everything is looking good but I feel like crap. I had to take sat night off work. I'm having cramping, ton of bloating and pressure. It is painful to walk now. Anything but being on the coach is uncomfortable. I never knew stimming could be this hard. My RE said that they detected a very low AMH but is now wondering if it was an error because I am responding so well. Hope you are all well. Will do personals in the morning!
 
Morning Ladies

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Welcome Kate and everyone else who joined the thread over the weekend. This thread is getting busy its great :happydance:

Phantom - Congrats on Being PUPO yay :happydance:

Em - Good Luck for results today Fx'd :hugs:

Cali - Great news that ER is Tuesday. Wow 31 follies is amazing. No wonder you are feeling bloated :hugs:

Hope everyone else is well :hugs:

AFM - Getting frustrated as AF is due any day and just want it to be here and every day that passes just keep thinking that my ET will be pushed back. I'm going crazy :wacko: xx
