Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[Dazed]

Thats great news Urchin! Everything is crossed tightly for you!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Stuckinoki Thanks for that explanation We have another appointment with FS on the 27th and they will have DH SA so will be glad to be able to understand them

 

[greekgirl]

hey ladies.
good luck urchin.
sorry to all the girls that the witch got to ...
and ruthiejane... that sounds scary. i am so sorry... i don't know what to say.
"χαρά στο κουράγιο σου" (xara sto kouragio sou) which means may there be joy in your courage. sounds cheesy but i truely wish it to you.
is there treatment for hydrocephalus?
and PCOS isn't something that can keep a woman from getting pregnant, just so you know. i know plenty of girls who had kids after being diagnosed with PCOS. but it can also be controlled a little through diet. i also had been diagnosed in 2006 with PCOS and again in 2009 and then 2010 but when i learned to control my insulin intake - i am a pasta lover and used to eat tons which we all know turns to sugar too fast as opposed to whole wheat pasta which breaks down slower so the body stores nutrients as opposed to sugar and releases the sugar in slower mode.. generally all starchy foods turn to sugar too fast just throwing out information out there... i quit drinking alcohol quit eating so many starchy foods, (pasta, white bread, potatoes) also got my thyroid in check and somehow -- i am no doctor but it seemed to work??? - i got my PCOS down to micropolycistic ovaries. doctor said that it's not a big issue anymore.

anyway. enough about that....
i am in the waiting now... if we're not pregnant this month despite the fact that it IS our first month of trying with freshly "cleaned tubes" we are going to look into getting help.
wish me luck

i am getting too excited... not good. just two days ago i was lashing out at my hubby about taking care of his heart - if i want his heart to be ok then i shouldn't turn into a crying monster because how is that going to help?
so yeah, no symptoms...
the classic period cramps, the mood swings, the feeling of my ovary area being bloaty and a lot of fluids. but i am still hopeful.
stupid?

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Not stupid at all hun, hope is what we all use to get through this

 

[mrshanna]

Good luck Urchin!!!

 

[urchin]

thanks everybody

Well, 4 of the little darlings turned out to be right slappers - and opened their shells to the first little soldier they met!

So, Eenie, Meenie, Minie and Mo are sat as we speak in their petri-crib dividing like good 'uns...the other two eggs were right prudes and refused to play nice with the boys

Embryo transfer will be noon on Thursday .... please keep on crossing that the Fab Four make it that far

Hi All

Hoping any of you lovely ladies may be able to help me... So after my OH SA results and doctor loosing records and seeing other peoples SA results i began to doubt if they had got it right, i have put below what OH records show and just wondered what these look like compared to others... Hope you dont mind...

Forward progressive mobilty - 71%
non progressive mobilty - 4%
immotile - 25%
morphology - approx 2% of sperm appear normal

im not to sure what is classed as 'normal' i know that they have quoted the 2% figure... sorry if TMI any help appreciated thanks all! Lucy

71% of the sperm have the ability to swim/move foward
4% of the sperm are swimming, but they're not getting anywhere.
25% of the sperm are not able to move around at all.
2% of the sperm have the proper build [1 head, 1 tail]

I would talk to your doctor because honestly, I don’t see how 71% of the sperm can be moving around properly, but only 2% have the correct build…you would think that it would be impossible for a sperm with 2 tails, no head [or 2 heads, no tail etc] to swim in a proper straight line, you know?

Did the test say how many sperm were collected in the sample?

Everything except the 2% morphology looks pretty normal to me [compared to my DHs numbers anyway]

I'd have to say the exact same. I think my DH's motility was slightly lower in the forward progressive column and higher morphology (my brain remembers 7%) but overall that's pretty similar and they told me that it was perfectly normal and nothing wrong with his part. Also just remember that there are lots of things that can be done to improve SA numbers if you find something needs improving. If you google "Infertility sperm cocktail" (make sure you have the infertility in there or all you will get is porn sites lol) you'll get a bunch of websites that will talk about vitamins and supplements that can improve a man's SA results.

thanks everybody

That's awesome news urchin! I'm thrilled for you and praying that all 4 of those eggies stay strong and ready for transfer on Thursday!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Well I'm on my way home from vacation but honey and I are going to Atlantic city tonight til tomorrow so I guess vacation isn't really over yet. just waiting to ovulate now

 

[greekgirl]

so i saw "pink" an hour ago. pretty sure it's over this month... onto february.

 

[greekgirl]

also seems my cylce changed after the laparoscopy. it was 30 days. now it's 28-29. i hope that's not a bad sign.

 

[MrsHowley81]

AW Urchin that is amazing news I really hope Eenie, Meenie, Minie and Mo go forth and multiply like good little embies, So so exciting, I am sure the next 2 days will drag like buggery but it will be worth the wait after all the heartache xxx

Lucy,
First of all I don't really believe in TMI on a forum like this, we're all dealing with the same issues after all. Unfortunatly I don't have DHs exact results written down as part of the bargain (and yes I had to bargain to get him to do it) was he got the results from the doctor. I had an IUI in December though and his numbers seemed low like 3mil-ish with 98% motile, they didn't even mention the other characteristics you've mentioned. What did the clinic say about your results? Each clinic seems to have different standards so if they say your OH is okay then you'll just need to trust them I guess? They told me my DHs numbers were fine eventhough when I compare them on here it sure doesn't seem like it... What do I know?

Thanks hun, the clinic said results are ok, but morphology is on the low side as average is 4% and above and OH is 2% i am going to insist on getting these checked again just so we can compare i think.. i know what you mean though its confusing when you compare to others on here... thanks for your reply though hun!

Ive ordered OH some wellman too so hopefully this will help !

I agree too i dont see how it is possible.. but i am going to insist on having OH test again as it does not add up to me either...

No they did not say how many were collected but when i call i am going to ask them see if they know...

Thanks again for the info hun!

Baby dust to us all! Lucy xxx

Are you transferring all four? (im naturally assuming E,E,M&M will all get a solid jump start) Or how will that be decided? Are you permitted to save for another round?

I am so sorry that the evil got you hun.. Big Hugs to you!!

As far as your cycle changing by a few days I dont think it is anything to worry about and is normal hun. My cycles range from 25 to 33 days and I average out at about 28 days and that is normal for me, so please dont worry, you are still in the normal range for the average women's cycle, I have researched this before online and found info on this so no worries...

 

[Wanting2BMom]

Boy today was a struggle for me. My co-teacher was talking to one of the pregnant teachers and noticing her belly bump was really big. My co-eacher then looks at me and said "Look at her tummy and how big it is....why dont you rub it " The prego lady then said " you know what they say if you rub a pregnant womans belly within three months youll be pregnant". You would think that it would not bother me but it did because my co-teacher and I are like brother and sister. I have shared all of my struggles, my fears and insecurities about the thought of not becoming a mother, and how difficult it has been and continues to be to get pregnant . So you would think of all people that he would understand and not throw it in my face pushing me to touch some other womans stomach to get myself pregnant. He then said it would help.....help with what?. The prego then asked me" Do you want to have kids?" I just sat there and to keep from crying I got angry and frowned up my face which my coteacher immediately knew that it bothered me and stopped the conversation. I looked at the prego lady and said" Why wouldnt I want to have kids". I then do what I do best when things like this happen, I shut down and went inside of my own little mental bubble not letting anyone in. My coteacher apololgized because he knew that it bothered me. I need to not let it bother me so much when people make comments to me, but it is hard.

 

[greekgirl]

wanting2bmom i hate it when anyone does that. so insensitive. especially if they're supposed to know the story. seriously, what is wrong with people? i have no words of encouragement just that i have been there and eventually you learn how to let that s**t roll right off you. hopefully you won't have to put up with it for long!
