Whoa, guys, you're terrific! Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I think I really needed to be able to talk to someone who would understand, feeling a bit isolated at the moment.
deafgal01 - it's funny, but I'm pretty sure I already know you! We must be stalking same journals?
I'm certain I remember your username from other threads!
rdleela - LOVE the avatar!
Thank you the supporting my googling habits I'm one of those people who find peace in information. I like to go to doctor's appointments knowing what to expect and I research my own symptoms before I even consider doctors. Medical establishment rarely likes people like us I wish doctors would be a bit more flexible about the way they deal with patients. To some it's comforting knowing little, to others it's complete opposite.
SunUp - thank you so much for the link, it's brilliant! Straight to studies and articles, pure awesomeness!
Stinas - we're hoping the second SA will be a bit better! I've ordered a ton of vitamins and supplements for him to take, really hoping it'll get some of the guys moving.

Sun-up - don't forgert to let me know what update you want putting on the front page - I'm losing track with so many members now 
Soili - as others ahve said, the fact that you have sperm is great news. I know it may not be ideal, but worse case scenario - I don't see any reason why they wouldn 't be able to do ICSI. They inject a single sperm into a single egg with ICSI so they don't have to be motile - in fact I saw the procedure on TV once - they actually stun the sperm to stop them from moving so they can get hold of them!
Just found the link - fascinating stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXhpkCqZfdA

Soili- you've probably seen my username around. I do get around. 
I think it's from one of the other girls' journals that we both stalk or something. 
It'll come to us later I'm sure. 
So glad we were able to help you out a little and cheer ya up. (edit: I just did a search and I think you know me from seeing my posts in Stash777's journal).
Stinas- I know... If it's one thing, it's another too for the poor DHs to deal with. I just hope it's not going to mean any bad news at the next SA appt in June. We'll see soon enough- about one more month.

Deb- that's also true. I'm grateful we found out this soon and not later. We only found out cuz of his eye exam- he was getting new glasses and they found spots on the eyes which indicates high blood pressure, so he followed up with the dr (knowing he has a family history of high blood pressure and viola)... Medicine for it. I asked if he told the dr about trying for a baby (to ensure the medicine won't interfere with his fertility meds) and he said he had.
Good luck! Hope it works for ya!

Not at all
Just tried to add link rather than embed it in my message but it did the same again! If you need an actual link - go to you tube and search for 'bang goes the theory ICSI procedure' and it should come up xx

Whoa, Deb, thanks so much for the video! Is it weird that I felt bad for the first couple? 10 eggs they collected, couldn't they have ICSI'ed 5 of them? It doesn't seem like ICSI takes that much more work...
From what I understood in my research is that ICSI can still be done if they're vital, but just not moving. If they're in fact dead cells, then the results are not too peachy.
I have this doubt though that might seem strange... But does the "quality" of ejaculation matter at all? That was the first ever SA DH did and he said that he couldn't get over the pressure. So it was nowhere near the normal sample. He even thought that it's not worth it bringing it for testing.

Get progesterone checked Weds.... but I am freaking out a little bit this morning! Sorry if TMI following, but here is why; I got up about 5:50 this morning to pee. I went and laid back down but couldn't go back to sleep, so I went ahead and got up about 6:10 to start cleaning on the house. I went in the bathroom to pull up the rugs, and guess I didn't flush the toliet good, and seen a red solid dot floating in the toliet! Today is 5DPO, so IDK if it was the egg or what! I almost didn't flush it and started to scoop it out, but didn't. It was the size of like one of those hard marshmellows in hot cocoa mix. Yeah, that was the only thing I could think to compare the size to. But I am scared shitless! I feel like I have been soooooooo careful since getting back home, so IDK what I could have done if it is the case!
I have a call into Jackson to talk to them about it, so we shall see!

Hey SND, if it doesn't work, they egg comes out with your period, not as a 'dot'. And I highly doubt it could be that big yet. I've known some people with early miscarriages and you can't even see any tissue, so I wouldn't think too much of the dot.
Sending you lots of sticky vibes!!!

Hi ladies. Just wanted to report I got another early AF this cycle. Hoping Progesterone will enable me to have a half decent luteal phase.
Hope everybody is good.
I'm so sorry, SilverBell
I hope you and DH are doing okay. You will get there, hun.

Hey SND,
I hope you're okay and that you've been able to get ahold of someone to ease your mind.

Oh SB
Dr confirmed high blood pressure so DH got another medicine to take. Poor guy. I joked that he needs to ask for duct tape next time when the dr wants to prescribe more medicine. He's literally falling apart on me.
Aww, I hope DH is okay. It really is one thing after another, isn't it? It's good that you have eachother to get through all this.
