Azo ladies! It can happen for us 
We did our FET on July 19th. My official test isnt until next week. AF due tomorrow. I pray that God lets up keep this one. These embryos were our last 2 for DH to have a biological child of his own.

Azo ladies! It can happen for us
Rdella, i've began reading your journal thank you for the link, your a good writer and it's interesting and helpful for me to read. Its great to know that you've had such a good sperm return and that it can go from nothing upwards. I really don't know much about this and would have thought if it was zero straight after then that would be the result forever. I feel like I need to keep researching to keep me sane in-between appointments.
My boyfriend isn't keen about anyone else knowing and doesn't really like talking about it too much inbetween appointments as he doesn't want reminding. He knows I've told my mum and i've told a few close friends but the friends i've told believe its me having trouble rather than him as I know he'd be upset. I feel bad for him as he doesn't want to talk to people about it but it must be hard. I keep tryign to encourage he speaks with his sister as they are close and hope he will soon.
I've had a hard week as my little brother who is only 18 and ten years younger than me has told me his 24 year old girlfriend is pregnant. They weren't planning on having a baby and he has asked that i'll be there to help them find their way. I feel sad that my brother will have to grow up so quickly and jealous which I feel terrible for feeling. They have been round tonight and I gave them lots of vitamins which I had here for me when I had a couple of false positives last year.
Gem10 I will be thinking of you Tuesday, I hope it goes really well for you both! I look forward to hearing good news X
What is Beta? Sorry I'm a little lost with some of the terms! I hope it went well Mobaby xx

Congrats, Mobaby!!! Good luck for an awesome beta!
I'm happy to help with any information you (or anyone else) would like!
Keep researching! It kept me sane, and it kept me feeling like I was really doing something to stay ahead of all the curve balls all the doctors were throwing at us. And actually, if I didn't research and ask questions, we wouldn't be in the position we are in now, so I would encourage you to keep doing so if it's helping you! (We took things into our own hands to get DH the surgery, no urologist in our province could do what our surgeon did. And it was all because of me taking the reins.)

Thank you! I like knowing what they might ask and being prepared for the questions and i'm not great at thinking on my feet in these high pressure/emotional situations so its definitely helping. Plus like you said the looking makes me feel like i'm being useful or at least keeps me busy. I'm off to France for a long weekend wedding this week which will keep my mind off it all for a bit too! I hope you've all had a good start to the week.

Hi ladies.
I joined this thread back in November last year after finding out oh is Azoos.
Sorry if this turns into a long boring post but so much gone on since last year.
After we got diagnosis I wanted to try a sperm donor but DP was not impressed with this idea at all. In Dec my oh went to a routine appt with chemical specialist due to taking so many medications. At the time he mentioned he was taking a Chinese herb to help lower cholesterol. Doc informed him to stop immediately as she wasn't aware of what side effects could be. Low and behold he stopped and within seven weeks I got a big fat bfp. Unfortunately I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. 3 cycles later I have conceived again but am only 3 weeks +5.
Long and short of what I am trying to say is don't give up. Everyone's situation is different but guess a lot of what we have in common is hope.
It took 8 years to finally bring my Son into the world with my Ex husband (neither of us had fertility issues) 3 years with apparently azoospermia partner.
Congrats to those who've already got bfp's and fingers crossed and baby dust to all those still waiting.
Dreams really can come true xxx

Oh MoBaby!!! I have been waiting for you to post and I am over the moon for you!!!! Enjoy every single minute 
Congratulations MoBaby!!! That is amazing news!!
So it has been an emotional week for us. My hubby went in for his TESE procedure on Tuesday. When the doctor came out he had a smile on his face so I thought I'd hear good news. He told me they did not find sperm during the surgery. He kept explaining things to me then asked if we had a backup donor. I immediately started crying. I don't think he knew what to say. He let me know that the embryologist took a good amount of tissue back to the lab and there was a still a chance they'd find something. After he told me I had to wait another hour before I could see my hubby. I was glad because it gave me a chance to calm down. I didn't want him to see me upset. When he was finally ready to leave he insisted we drive right to the fertility clinic to speak to the embryologist. I personally didn't want to because I was afraid of what I might hear. When we got there the nurse came out with a very serious look on her face. And before I knew it she said "We have sperm". I nearly fell to the floor! I was hysterical. I could not stop crying!! I never thought I'd hear those words!!!
So we still had some waiting to do to see if the sperm would wake up and start moving. The next day I came in and they told us we had 13 swimmers! So I went under for my retrieval. They got 9 mature eggs from me. I was a little disappointed because I thought they'd get more. I wanted 13! But they explained that they went easy on meds with me because it was my first time and didn't want to overstimulate me.
So we got the call yesterday that 3 had fertilized and were being frozen! He explained that more could fertilize because testicular sperm tends to take a little longer. So we have our fingers crossed that we will get a phone call that more have fertilized.
I know it's not a lot, but we are closer than I ever thought we'd be. We have three frosties waiting for us!!So I will meet with the doctor next week to schedule surgery for my heart shaped uterus, and if all goes well they will do the transfer mid-September.
I feel like I'm in a dream. Don't give up hope. This can happen for us ladies! I hope that the good news keeps coming and my transfer works. Like I said, a long road ahead still, but we are one step closer now.
I continue to think and pray for all of you. Keep faith alive!

WOW! So much good news! Congratulations MoBaby, Tamarah and Gem! I am so happy for you all! It's so great to hear about success stories, especially when DH and I have so long to wait until we get to try an mTESE (we've been told 1-2 years, doh!). Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for everyone Miles of smiles XXXXXXXXX
