Dealing with azoospermia?

[bubumaci]

Good luck You might trigger earlier, depending on how your follies respond ... could be the 11th with retrieval on the 13th (earliest, I would imagine) ... but might well be triggering 13th with retrieval on the 15th.

MBABY - How exciting! Hope your injections have gone ok! I'm a bit scared about that bit too, but I imagine you get used to it (hope so!). We should hopefully have a date for the mTESE by about Valentine's Day. I've been counting down the days since they told us it would be about a month 'til they could tell us, I just hope it doesn't turn out to be longer than that as I'm going stir crazy waiting! So much fingernail biting in this process isn't there? Hope you've enjoyed the Superbowl! XXX

So it's began!!

It was so not a big deal- a tiny pinch!
Putting the meds together was the worst part of it

I keep you posted Rainbow

How is everyone else?

Should I expect any symptoms? Moody-ness?

 

[bubumaci]

Go MBaby

Well, had my first US this morning - tomorrow, I add the Orgalutran (prevent ovulation) and the doctor has said that we will trigger Saturday night for ER on Monday morning - still have an US on Saturday morning, but he was certain - so DH has his surgery Monday morning too ... It will be a loong day, but I really pray that the TESE will be worth it and, that my poor DH doesn't suffer too much from it!

MBABY - Good luck.

Glad to know it is not that scary. I am always very nervous thinking about the injections.

Keep us posted.

Gem... thinking of you...Hugs

Looking for some advice from the lovely ladies ....

I had my laproscopy and hysteroscopy last week, but they dint find any polyp or any other issues. My fertility consultant said it was ok to go ahead with the egg retrival in the next cycle (March).But I am wondering if I should delay by a month to let the body settle. But that would mean another month of delay , anxious waiting, and DH on another month of medicines and Easter break delaying egg collection etc etc.

Is it ok to go ahead in the first cycle soon after the procedure? Has anyone been in similar situation?

 

[gem10]

Arzoo, I had the same procedure in Aug and did my first IVF in September. I dont know if its: related, but that cycle did not work. I think it may help to give your body a rest, but who knows! You have to listen to your heart, womans intuition is the way to go!

So I had very light pink spotting today. Kind of freaking out! I am praying its implantation bleeding and not AF..any thoughts?

Mbaby, glad meds are going well. I usually get moody towards the end! Then bloated when the ovaries are nice an full! Best of luck!!

 

[gem10]

Bubumaci i will be praying for successful day Monday for you!!

 

[arzoo]

Gem, Hope it is implantation. Good luck. Praying.

Mbaby, Rainbow, Bubumaci, Arzoo- Good luck to everyone! I'm not much help with IVF information, but I am thinking of all of you.

Gem- everything I have read about spotting seems to say... there is no definite answer about spotting. So many women have it in early pregnancy- it can be a good sign. I have really been enjoying my "Denial" policy this TWW, where I haven't been looking for spotting at all- I figure if AF is going to come, I'll wait til she comes in full force & there is no denying it. It seems like anything and everything can happen before a BFP, so I hope the spotting isn't stressing you out too much! Sending positive vibes your way!

 

[gem10]

Thanks Sharon! I have definitely been more relaxed this time around too. I dont think this can be AF, considering I am on progesterone which keeps it at bay. My last cycle it took a couple of days off the meds for it to show. So.I am just gonna keep saying this is a good sign! As long as it doesnt get worse, then I will freak!!Lol. When do you test, this Wed? I have been praying for you this round!

 

[bubumaci]

Thank you guys
Gem - Fx'd for you

I wasn't moody on my IVF drugs, but was super moody on Puregon/Follistim (it was insane!). It all depends on your body and how it's working with it. Everyone is different. Best of luck!

 

[arzoo]

Thank you gem for your reply. It is always good to know that I am not having unnecessary anxiety. I think we will go ahead with our appointment on the 14 th and then decide.

 

[gem10]

Youre welcome arzoo. Like I said, it could be unrelated, just sharing my experience. I recommend red raspberry leaf tea. It is supposed to help condition your uterus. Just dont drink it once you start meds.

As for me, more light brown spotting today. Totally freaked me out. Cant wait for Friday to get here!

 

[MBABY2014]

GEM- is Friday your blood test??

 

[sharon99]

Thank you, Gem!! I really, truly appreciate it. I *can* test tomorrow (it will be 14 dpiui), but I don't think I will- I teach all day Wednesday & I don't want to be (more) freaked out than I naturally am! So maybe Thursday, if AF hasn't arrived? If anything, I have really been trying to be kind to myself this TWW. So, I haven't been calling myself cowardly for not wanting to test and not checking obsessively for spotting like I normally do. I find it really hard to balance being hopeful with not wanting to feel like a fool. There were many months, before DH's diagnosis, that I was *convinced* I was pregnant- when of course I wasn't. I had this ugly feeling like I had been such a fool back then- and this TWW I'm really trying to let that go and not judge myself so harshly. I'm not sure if that makes much sense... it's just that I think all women, especially the women on this board, are brave for putting our hearts on the line, and I should forgive & love myself and try and open myself to the possibility of it actually working.

Anyway, I will be thinking of you until Friday, Gem. I hope your brown spotting is a good sign, and I hope we both make this TWW our B*tch!

 

[MBABY2014]

Words of wisdom!!

Good luck S!!!

 

[arzoo]

Good luck Gem and Sharon.

Sharon, I had the same feeling of being a fool to keep thinking I was pregnant every month before DH's diagnosis. When I think back about those days, I sometimes get angry with myself for being such a fool back then to think I was pregnant.This just goes to show that though we are all different we still go through the same bunch of emotions. I am so glad I found you lovely ladies here. thanks to whom I am still sane and have courage to take the next steps

 

[bubumaci]

*lol* same here ... I kept thinking + hoping that the spotting was implantation bleeding *lol* ... and even though I know his diagnosis and know that there is no chance that we will get pregnant without ICSI - in the months where we have given my body a break after the fails / chemicals, I have still hoped against hope that AF won't turn up and that I am pregnant ...
