Dealing with azoospermia?

[tigerlily1975]

Thanks for the video, Deb, it's really interesting, but also freaking me out, too! I see you've got a little lemon on-board now, hope you're both doing well.

Thanks girls! Talked to Jackson, she said nothing to worry about (I know she thinks I am crazy... LOL!), and if anything it may be a good sign as some have implantation bleeding. God let's hope so anyways!

Sun, MJ and Wan.... how's the clomid treating you? Burning up and crying for no reason yet?

DG- I know how it is w/ hubby's meds... my house looks like a drug store with all he takes!

How is everyone else today?

 

[snd80]

Thinking of SB today! Did they not check your progesterone one week after the IUI?

Snd - at 4 weeks pregnant (so effectively the day you test would potentially show up at 4 weeks) the embryo is the size of a poppy seed so nothing to worry about on that front. IB sounds a good possibility though!

 

[SunUp]

SND, I've actually been doing ok....... I get hot flashes at night sometimes anyway so I wouldn't recognize if Clomid caused anything. I'll let you know tomorrow after my scan!

Hi all.

This thread came up when I googled azoospermia and having taken a few weeks to read the whole thread, I would like to say what a lovely group of inspiring women you all are.

The support you have given each other has encouraged me to sign up to this site and it is so nice to see the positive stories on this thread.

It is great to see the success stories on here and good luck to everyone still waiting, fingers crossed your time comes soon.

Snowybird- Welcome!

Welcome snowybird

snd hope it is implatation

Silverbird sorry AF arrived early again

big hugs to everyone

afm not so patiently counting down the days til the 25th, I've sorted with work to finish at 8pm latest once I start injecting so I can do them around 9pm. My boss was pretty shocked that the injection process is going to take up to 5 weeks and he was even more shocked when I said I would be taking time off after transfer.... I'm entitled to it so I'll be having every second I can. I just need to see my personnel manager to get all the details... before she leaves and I have to go through it all again with someone new!!!

Just a fly by, but I am *so* upset. DH's urology appointment needs to be rescheduled. They called my cell but didn't leave a message, so I had no idea who it was. When I got home, they left me a voicemail to call them back but they were already closed. We waited too long to have more delays. I'm so upset.

 

[Stinas]

Canadian - Im sorry!!! That sucks! Dont they know how stressful this is already? It makes me super mad!

wibble wobble - Its good that you are able to take off! You earned the time off, so you should use it as you please!

As for me...tom is dh urologist apt!!

 

[Deb111]

Canadian - How annoying! I really hope they can book you another appt soon. It is so horrible when you're going through this kind of thing - you live from one appt to the next in the hope of good news and progress and then something like this happens

Stinas - hope all goes well tomorrow

Snowybird - welcome Are you dealing with azoopsermia issues too?

SB - thinking of you and sending you hugs

WW - I'm glad you're getting things sorted in advance. I started off feeling bad about all the time off I was having for appts - and even more so these days, but I've been working at this school for 9 years now and have worked bloomin' hard for them. When I did my risk assessment with the head, she told me I was entitled to time off for appts and not to feel bad about it - so I don't anymore. It's not like these appts can be made to fit round work like a dental appt can be

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

 

[deafgal01]

CanadianM- that's awful. It's hard on you (and us) when we 'miss' the window for rescheduling appts that could be easily done sooner.

Snowybird- Welcome to the group. We're always sorry to see new members join the group but we're glad we can provide support (and positive happy stories for the others to look up to).

Snd- I hope it is IB and you're knocked up. I want more bfp from the ladies in here.

Stinas- good luck tomorrow

WW- Glad you're getting time off for all of this stuff. It's important to do that when we need to.

Everyone else. Hope y'alls are doing good.

OMG, Canadian, what a pile of bull! That sucks! As the Impatience Queen over here, I completely understand how frustrated you must be! I am still waiting to get this last u/s booked, we keep harassing the administrators at the dr's office who are supposed to be booking it and THEY keep putting it off, really starting to make me mad...supposedly (I say that very sarcastically) they are supposed to be booking it tmrw and letting us know...

SND, totally hope it's implantation!! FX'd!

Stinas, CAN'T WAIT to hear how your appt goes!!

And welcome, Snowybird! Would love to hear your story when you're ready to share!

 

[tigerlily1975]

Stinas: Good luck with the appointment!

SND: Oh, IB would make total sense. Keeping everything crossed!

Canadian: Ah, what a pain in the a**e! As they're the ones requesting the re-scheduling, hopefully they'll be able to give you a cancellation.

WW: I hope work isn't giving you too much grief. It's amazing how they'll expect you to drop everything to stay on for a bit, come in at the weekend etc. for them, but when you need the time off they're soon "oohing" and "ahhing". Good luck!

and to all,

C xx

Ok ladies...i have some news that kind of made me feel better!

Ok so...the doc said that everything pretty much looks "normal" and all his testing makes him really lean towards a blockage(which we already knew, but nice to hear from a second doctor). Plus he said he probably is making sperm...which again made me feel better, but again....we all know how it is to get our hopes shot, so not getting overly excited.
This thursday he will go in for a scrotal ultrasound and in 3 weeks from now he will go in through the penis to see if there is indeed a blockage and what the location is. If the blockage is towards the tip, we will need to do a biopsy and IVF....if it is towards the balls, he will do surgery to bypass the blockage and basically re direct the flow.
Im excited we are getting answers!

rdleela - sounds similar to you!

Just a quick update from me -

Went in for my scan today, CD12 after clomid CD 4-8. When the Dr looked at the right ovary, he and the nurse said 'wow'! Apparently things are looking better than they had planned. My biggest follicle is 15mm. He wasnt able to see my Left but he said if the right is any indication then things are looking really good. He wants me to come back Thursday and said its very possible I will take the trigger injection Thursday and have IUI both Friday and Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!! I am SO excited!

Which means I could find out about a BFP over memorial day weekend! Fingers Crossed!

 

[snd80]

Yay Sun!!!!!!! Can't remember.... were you guys doing donor? So many girls on here, it is hard to keep up! But YAY for progress!!!! Come on ovies!!!!

And to anyone on here considering using donor , I have about a month and a half of access left to xytex.com for viewing profiles and picts, so if interested, PM me for the login info...

Tomorrow is progesterone testing for me! Can't wait! Went by the gym today to pay my dues, and I have gained a pound in a week! I want to go back and start walking a bit, but everyone is screaming at me not to til we find out something.... so damn if you do, and damn if you don't!

 

[Stinas]

SunUp - Yay!!! Thats great news!!

snd - One pound is not that bad! Dont put yourself down! Taking short walks should not effect anything. If it makes you feel better, do it.

 

[deafgal01]

Sunup Hoping for a bfp from you when you do test at end of month.

Stinas- that is some good news! I'll be praying for more good news when that happens.
