Dealing with azoospermia?

[Rainbow123]

What fantastic news Gem! Can't wait to hear how those little eggies and spermies get on with their little dance together! Fingers and toes crossed and big prayers for you lady XXXXX

Rainbow- what is your hubby's FSH? Mine is 16 and wondering if that is high?

Does anyone know if 16 is considering high and/or worry some?

Thank you so much ladies! I will keep you posted today, hopefully with more good news! Bubumaci, I didnt know what PUPO meant, just looked it up...what a great saying! Thats a good phrase to get me through the 2ww!

Wish you all the luck in the world!!

Girls!

Wanted to pop in and say good luck to Gem and let you all know I've been stalking from the side lines, but I'm still here with all you lovely ladies!!!

to all!!!

Just popping in to say GOOD LUCK on Tuesday, Gem! Fingers crossed! And the no social media sounds like a wonderful idea! I was just talking with a fertility-challenged friend last night & said that the worst is when someone announces a pregnancy, and then announces a really stupid name for the baby.

Olive, good luck on the start of next cycle! So they do an ultrasound at the very beginning of your cycle?

Happy weekend, everyone!

Yes, I had my base ultrasound on Tuesday. When do you have your next cycle?

So far we have 5 eggs fertilized, 3 are grade 1 (perfect embryos) and 2 are grade 2 (average) out of a total of 12. More may fertilize soon, they will call again tomorrow!

I was hoping for higher numers but I am SO excited about the quality. This is much better than last time. Last time we had 1 grade 1, 2 grade 2 and 1 poor. So I am happy about that.

Praying that these little guys continue to grow and develop for Monday. Keep praying, its working!!! Much love ladies!

 

[gem10]

Snd80 it looks like you are having success too!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

MBABY2014 - My DH's FSH was 14.8 when they last tested him, which is not particularly high. The urologist said that he is in the 'grey area' meaning that because it is not in the 20s there is a chance they will find some sperm when they do the mTESE. Are you guys thinking of getting a mTESE?

Gem those are some good numbers!

 

[MBABY2014]

Hi there
Thanks for getting back to me!
Yes we are- in fact it's on Thursdsy!
I am just SO nervous
My hubby has the biopsy, TESE and possible blocksge correction if there is in fact a blockage.
I go off BCP the same day and then if all goes well IVF. His urologist seems very positive!
So you heard 20 and below there is a good chance?

GEM- wow! What a great story, it is truly inspiring!! I wish you the best if luck and hope you have some beautiful embys to transfer!

I was wondering what you hubby's diagnosis was as well as his FSH??

Thanks!

 

[BrandyRelax]

snd - good luck on your cycle. Looks like it's going well so far!

Gem - those are great results! Have they guessed whether they will do a day 3 or day 5 transfer?

AFM - I just wanted to share with all of you that I got a BFP on our dIUI#2! It's still a very new discover and anything could happen, but I am so excited about it, I wanted to share!

Best of luck to everyone else in their cycles!

 

[Rainbow123]

Good luck for Thursday Mbaby! Our urologist thinks it's about a 40% chance of finding sperm if FSH is lower than 20 so that's a good chance I feel. Do you live close to the hospital or will you be staying over in a hotel? Let us know how you get on. Will be thinking of you on Thursday xxx

 

[snd80]

Congrats Brandy!!!

I didn't say anything on here about my cycle cause I didn't wanna seem to be rubbing it in to anyone still in limbo, but I really have been following everyone quietly... and I think of all you girls all the time!

AFM- One of my embabies went abnormal yesterday afternoon (said it developed a 3rd nuclei or something?) but the other 6 are chuggin along great! I'm starting to get really excited. Transfer set for Tues.

Hope everyone else is ok!!!

THANKS!!! FINGERS CROSSED!!
We live in NYC so we are literally 3 blocks from the hospital- I'm nervous for his recovery as well!! There are just so many components that have to work, so I'm trying to figure 1 step at a time!!

When is yours scheduled for Rainbow?
Any sucess stories with mTESE on this forum?

 

[rdleela]

Best of luck Snd and Gem! Thinking of you ladies!

CONGRATS BRANDY!!!!

And good luck Sharon and Olive and Mbaby! Wow, so much going on!

 

[sharon99]

Wow, so much good news on here! That makes me very happy. Yay, Gem!! That is wonderful news!

Brandy- YAY!! Big congratulations, I hope you're just basking in happiness right now.

SND, I don't think sharing good news is "rubbing it in"- I for one LOVE to hear the good news- it is a beacon of hope and helps me be more hopeful about my own happy ending. Congratulations, and please keep us updated!

Good luck, Mbaby! We used to live in NYC too- but the noise & craziness got to us! I hear you guys are having a bitter cold winter...

Olive, we're not quite cycle buddies then- I had my 2nd dIUI on Wednesday. I have a much more positive feeling this time than last time around. I don't know, I just feel more at peace with our decision. I'm still a little uptight & emotional (I SOBBED at this "Kid President" video I watched last night), but am also feeling calm and, dare I say- excited?

SHARON- good luck, I always say go with your gut feeling!!!

NYC is freezing- think it was about-10 with wind chill yesterday!!!

 

[gem10]

Brandy, congratulations! What exciting news!!

MBaby my hubby was born with undescended testicles. He had surgery around 5yrs old to correct the problem. From his first SA at 18 to his last at 35 they all showed zero sperm. I dont know exactly what his FSH was, but I know the doc said his numbers were normal, its just that the factory wasnt working.

We had two more fertilize overnight so we are up to 7. My transfer is scheduled for Monday! I hope I havent upset anyone with my updates, SND you have me thinking now. I just hope that with each story of success we hear it brings us hope of our own. Still got a long way to go before we know if ours will be a happy ending. But I will keep thinking Im PUPO!!!

 

[MBABY2014]

Gem- got it
So even with a 'non-working' factory the TESE was successful? That makes me feel happy and gives me hope for Thursday!!

Did they give you any reason why the 1st embie didn't implant as it was a grade 1? I'm thinking of you and hope next week is a lucky week for us both!!
