Hello ladies , Im new here but not new to AZOO ....
March IVF _ICSI cancelled bc hubbs sample was only4 spermies
Hubbs froze 2 samples with a pilot thaw of 2 non-motile
Advised for him to stay on Clomid 90 days + Vitamins overdose
May SPERM SAMPLE NO CHANGE
IVF _ICSI calendar still scheduled for JUNE 17
New appt with Fertility Urologist 05/20 to talk about options
Many of you have gone through this road before or currently on the path to success , I need to know ~~ > would you go for the aspiration ? or work with the 4 spermies you have with finger crossed? The doctor also mentioned another genetic testing called Y-micodelection , does anyone have any experience with this ???

MBaby - what fantastic news! So stoked for you 
Hi Chantal!
Hmm - never heard of Y-micodelection myself - what does that involve? My DH had all the testing done, but there was no indication as to why he has the Azoo ...
I am not sure what I would do in your shoes ... Do you know if the Azoo is obstructive or non-obstructive? If it is obstructive, then it might be a good idea to go for the aspiration ...

Chanta we did y deletion test.. It wasn't found. That can be passed down to the males and it can cause miscarriages I think the re said so we would have done generic testing if it was positive.
Aspiration will probably be needed. Doesn't you many to work with and you'll have to freeze the other eggs and frozen eggs aren't as strong. But the mtese is very invasive. Maybe you could try with a fresh sample? My re advises us to have a donor backup but we never did. His next sample may end up with 10-20 motile. And the aspiration may have none or some. You never know. If those 4 speed are strong you could end up with a great embryo that takes. If I were in your shoes I would do the fresh attempt first and go from there but your re may not let you. Such a hard decision! Hopefully the urologist can help making it.

Hi.
I haven't been on for awhile. Husbands diagnosis of azoo was confirmed (we'd only had the counts done before, he hadn't seen a doctor).
The urologist says his testes are small and likely aren't producing anything, thinks it could be a pituitary gland issue.
Has anyone here dealt with pituitary gland azoospermia?
Please message me if you have.
Thanks.

Those were my thoughts exactly, what are the condition of the 4 they are finding . Technically you party extra for ISCI because you have a very low sample, with that being said why would I do a back up with ISCI , I rather freeze my eggs with hopes of a solution in the future .... we have an appointment on Tuesday with the fertility urologist again and there are a couple of procedures TESA/PESA ... TESE/MESA , the first two are done in the office with a butterfly needle for aspiration and the other are on the operation table which I dint want for hubbs if we can avoid :/

Hi SND80
I wanted to thank you again. I just called a couple pharmacies and ask them about the prices. AT the end i called Alexanders Twin Pharmacy as well. Their prices are unbeatable!!! Thanks a lot for your reply.

I ladies. Sorry I haven't been in in awhile, I didn't have WIFI for the entire vacation. UGH!
I took a test on May 5 and it was BFN. My period started May 12-14. My first DIUI was unsuccessful. I am now worried that we may have to cancel this month because the timing is too tight. The plan is to do the DIUI on day 8 after my last Clomid instead of day 9. Based on the serum progesterone tests, I may be ovulating on day 8. Doc is out of the office until Wed and I need to order DS for this month's cycle. If the doctor agrees with my reasoning (blood work supports it) than May 26th is our second DIUI. I will update again once I talk to my doctor.
Second note, DH's final SA is this week. I hope that he's producing so we can have his bio babies, but if not, at least he can get back on his testosterone and feel "normal" again. I will keep you posted.
Thanks for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it more than I can say.

Hi Mrs G30,
Do you mind me asking, did your hubby go for mTESE and was it successful?

Tulip,
My hubby fsh is 35.1, or it was when last checked, the DR said the chance of finding sperm was no different to a guy with a slightly elevated one, and they can never tell until there in there. Hope thats useful. he said he gives all of his patients a 40%.
ladies from the UK, are our IVF meds covered under the nhs, like a normal prescriptions?
Hope everyone is doing ok xxxxx
Hi any successful stories of high fsh? My husband FSH is 13.2 today we had appointment they said we will look for sperms but there is no guarantee because fsh level is high
Hi Tulip11,
I think your husbands levels are only slightly elevated.
See below:
Normal FSH level will differ depending on a person's age and gender.
Male
◦Before puberty: 0 - 5.0 mIU/ml
◦During puberty: 0.3 - 10.0 mIU/ml
◦Adult: 1.5 - 12.4 mIU/ml
yes thats what i think that there is slight difference than why they call it as its very high

How exciting that it's nearly time for your first try Danielle! I know what you mean about feeling so strange that it is finally here! I can't quite get my head round that we are in the midst of our first try either!
I think the success rates are about 15% per cycle, so definitely not as good as IVF or ICSI. We get 6 IUIs - that's 3 non-medicated, then 3 where I will have medication to make more eggs mature - then 1 IVF.
It's all feeling a bit surreal. I've been really nervous one minute, excited another, then not very optimistic the next, but it's just great that we can even say we're trying. The FS was optimistic that we wouldn't take very long, so it's all down to chance really!

MBABY - we went last Thursday, so should have an idea whether or not it has worked in just over a week! 
Did any of you pregnant ladies get any twinges that felt like your normal month's ovary twinges during your 2ww? I've broken out in spots, and getting little twinges, so wondering if my body has already got the signal that I'm not pregnant and gearing up towards AF. Flip, it's so easy to over think everything at the moment! :-S

Needing advice. Confused and worried.
Back story. My cycles are between 30-35 days long. Usually you ovulate 14 days prior to your period. When you take Clomid you are supposed to ovulate between 5-9 days after the last pill. Last month my period started on April 7 and started Clomid on April 9. Based on the Clomid time frame I should have ovulated April 23-24. I had my IUI done on April 24. 6 days later had a progesterone test come back with levels at 44. Highest EVER. My doctor said yesterday that based on the fact that my period started May 12 I shouldn't have ovulated until April 28th. BUT my progesterone was so high which usually indicated ovulation. He said it could have been high due to a chemical pregnancy. I talked to him last night and we have my next IUI scheduled for 1:30pm on May 27th.
My question is, has this happened to any of you?? Is is always 14 days after you ovulate that your period starts?? ARGH!!
Thanks for the advice and information. I appreciate you all SO VERY MUCH!!
