Hi, Rainbow, yep, he had the pain for at least a year or two before we started TTC. My DH is even thinking about just going to get his scrotum completely removed after we have our family, just so that he doesn't have to live with the pain anymore. He still has pain and it's been a year since his surgery. All my DH's hormone levels were normal, so yah, it could be something similar for your hubby! Has your hubby had any surgeries down there?
I finally looked at the prices on paper, it is $330 for IUI with frozen and $380 for ultrasound & office visit. So overall, the costs should be cheaper from this point on unless I need to be on meds or monitored.
Tam- once againso happy you have sperms to use!
good luck!
Do you know when you are likely to start your first IUI. Good luck!

Yay DG! I would suggest though getting some of those smily face clear blue easy OPKs.... I always had trouble cyphering those "line" ones... smily's are totally worth the extra $! Fingers crossed for you!
How is everyone else doing?
AFM- I went to the dr. this morn for my annual pap and had them test everything under the sun to get ready for my ivf... thyroids, hormones, etc. I told them I didn't care how much my lab bill would be. LOL! So now comes more waiting...
to all!!!

snd- i never had issues with the wondroflo ones so I'm using those to track my ovulation. My other bnb ladies say it's easy to miss the surge if I use smiley ones so not worth the money. 
I hope you don't have to wait too long. I just paid off a lot of my medical bills from the tests this past summer (already paid $2400ish) 
I still have like $400 left to pay on that debt of ($2800).

dg - I cant wait for you to start!!!
snd - Hiiiii!!! Im excited for you to start IVF too!!! Woohoo! It will go by super fast!...until you are PUPO...thats when time goes by super slow!
I dont think I ever updated here. FET #2 was a BFP! Twinkies again! Super excited! I am 6w3d today. I go in thursday for US. This week and next week are pretty big for us. Last pregnancy babies did not get pass 6w3d & 6w5d....D&C at 8w. So this next US we are hoping to see strong measurable hb's. Really nervous and scared. You would think everything is ok once you get prey, but there is a ton of other things you start to worry about. I guess thats life. Keep positive and positive things will come your way!

Hi, snd! Good luck with all your testing! We are doing our first round of IVF right away - it was awesome when we finally made the decision to just do it already. I wasn't ready for it before, but now I'm totally ready and excited! Hoping to be in Stinas's shoes soon

hiya today finally got 50 mg clomid for my hubby which he has to take half of it means 25 mg every day for 21 days then stop for 7 days and after 3 months we ill again submit sample for SA. my hubby has high testosterone level...is there anyone who had high level of testosterone and later on got some good news ? yeah another thing when I read the leaflet with medicine so that only shows about female infertility problems so I called back to pharmacy then they said no its ok men can also use these clomid.
Great news wish you a BFP first time !!!
I am lucking to have FET around 25 Sept so we can be 2WW in the same time.
Hello, hope everyone is fine , good to read the positive news.
We had been for our review with Mr Ramsay and the news is not entirely positive. Still no sperm found in the SA but the hormone levels have improved which means the tamoxifen is having an impact and Mr. Ramsay said that , DH hormone levels were optimal and if there was any chance of sperm production it would be happening now. However he reminded us that since it takes 3 months for a sperm to be produced, we will have to wait for the full 3 months to pass before doing another test to look for that one single sperm. He advised us to see him at his clinic in windsor towards the end of October when the 3 months would be completed.
This time I pressed him a little further on why he was reluctant to have a synchronised cycle for us, if they dint find a single sperm in the SA. He explained that an IVF process subjects a woman to many risks like organ failure, though chances are low, it could happen. and in the case where no sperms are found then it was not worthwhile to subject me to these risks and if things went really bad and if we ever consider taking him to court, then the judge would be very unhappy with him and the medical specialist who were involved as they subjected me to unnecessary risks.
Despite knowing the risks, I want to do all that we can to try and have our baby.Has anyone else faced this dilemma?

Hi ladies!
Here's an update from me. I can't remember what I last updated you all on, but here it goes.
DH's HCG didn't work. Yes, his testosterone levels went up, but still no sperm. We have a phone consult scheduled with Dr. Walsh at Seattle Reproductive Medicine to get all the information and schedule a testicular biopsy for DH. We are hoping to find sperm so that we can do IVF. Of course we will need to get donations/grants for IVF because our insurance doesn't cover it.
I am so frustrated, DH is frustrated. Waiting sucks when it comes to infertility. After waiting so long to get some good news, waiting is harder because all I can think about it pain and surgery for DH and then bad news. It's very discouraging. After the phone consult we will probably have to wait until Nov to be able to fly down their and get time off work for DH.
It does help to see all the wonderful news you ladies have shared.

Oh miki I agree, waiting is the hardest part of all this, it is right up there next to the bad news we always seem to get. I agree it is encouraging to hear of other ladies getting success stories and ending up with a baby to take home.

Hi Ladies, I'm looking for your support and advice please. My DH has had a few SA and the first came back as zero, the second with a few sperm found and the third sample which was "spun" was found to have just over 10. The clinic don't know why there is no sperm as all results have come back fine. The clinic said that they were happy with the last sample and we could proceed to ICSI. We initially found out last September and were put on the ICSI waiting list in January after the latter result. We were delighted to find out that we were being given the opportunity to have a baby together and couldn't believe our luck they found a few sperm. This sperm was not frozen - not sure why and really disappointed now that they didn't freeze it.
All was going well with the ivf and I was booked in for egg collection yesterday. The clinic wanted DH to produce a sample just before I went in for collection and if nothing was found they would do a SSR on the same day. We were so hopeful given the last sample. The embryologist advised that unfortunately there was no sperm in the sample and SSR would be needed. It all happened so quickly and I had to go for egg collection I felt terrible leaving him given the news we had just been given. It didn't leave much time for us to think about anything. Unfortunately they could not find anything in the SSR. We are devastated and left the hospital yesterday feeling distraught with the result. They have frozen the eggs they collected from me and we have a follow up appointment next Friday to see what the next steps are for us.
Has anyone ever heard of results such as these and what were the next steps? Is there any medication DH could go on? we are in the uk and he is already using Zita west vitamins. We are hoping that the clinic will allow him to keep producing some samples for a while and freeze anything they find although not sure if in reality they will allow this.
We just can't get our heads around how there was sperm a few months ago and not now. Just feel like we are back at the same place we were last year having received the devastating news. Any suggestions and advice would be welcomed. Sorry this is my first post and is all about me I will try to have a look back and find out more information about you all.
Take care
