Quiet on this board???

 

[Miraclbaby]

hey I m just trying to keep myself busy. We scheduled our mTese for September. I know its just 3 months to wait but it seems like 3 years...

How is everyone doing?

Quiet on this board???

 

[babadespls]

Hi all, board has been very quiet, My husband did his SA yesterday so I'm guarding my phone but its just not ringing. I phoned them and they said the doc will call me when he has my file with all the results. I just hope its today or else I will have to wait till next week.

I don't know why I am so nervous because I'm pretty sure that I know what they results will be. Maybe by some miraculous chance there will be something in there.

Hope all you ladies are well and have a great weekend

Bab, fingers crossed for you! Waiting is sometimes the worst part.

Miraclbaby, I am with you, just trying to stay busy and "live life" so to speak.

 

[babadespls]

Just got the call, No sperm found in the SA...No huge surprise but still disappointed.

I am a little concerned as they proposed doing a PESA and TESA next week, and I always hear you ladies talking about mTese?? I have also got the idea in my head that they use this technique (PESA & TESA) for obstructive azoo (I may be wrong), whereby we have NOA.

 

[gem10]

I am soooo sorry sweety. My husband has NOA and we have done one mTESE and one TESE. Each time they found just enough sperm to fertilize my eggs, so between 10-20. So its not a lot, but it has given us a chance to try IVF. Unfortunately we havent had success yet though.

His sperm count is ALWAYS zero, even after months of meds.

 

[arzoo]

Sorry to hear about the no sperms.

My DH's SA always came back as zero. But we got lucky when we did the microtese.

Good luck

 

[bubumaci]

So sorry to hear about your results
PESA and TESA are less invasive methods of trying to get sperm from the testicles. Our fertility doctor suggested it for us, but the urologists who were to do the operation wanted to do the TESE ... (which was a negative too). DH has NOA as well - so perhaps PESA / TESA are options for you?

 

[Mikihob]

I am so sorry Babs. I know how that feels. We got our final ZERO result last month. I hope the the PESA or TESA can get some spermies for you.

Update ladies. Today I am 14dpIUI and I got a BFN. I expected it because of the last of OPK's but it's still hard. Hopefully next month is our month.

Hope everyone is doing well. I think about you all every day. Waiting is the worst thing EVER. I wonder, if we use all of our patience waiting to get pregnant, will we have any left??!!

 

[bubumaci]

Oh, Miki, I'm sorry you go a BFN If I remember correctly, you will be having a much more closely monitored cycle next time around, to ensure that you do ovulate. I think that is important, because doing a scheduled IUI without having guaranteed ovulation seems like a bit of a waste to me ... So all fingers and toes crossed for you Sweetie!

... I hope patience is like love - you have an abundant amount of it ...

 

[snd80]

So sorry Miki!!!! Your time WILL come though!!!! I learned it's just not always when WE want it..... took us 12 long hard years to get here!!!

Sorry as well babadespls. Azoo is such a shitty journey and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well in their waits, etc. to all!!!

 

[rdleela]

Babs, so sorry about the zero SA...even though we expect it, it still stings - a slap in the face reminder...I have no advice on the procedures, I'm sorry...

miki, I'm sooooo sorry it was a BFN for you...you just gotta keep trying, though!!! Hugs!

 

[Rainbow123]

Oh Miki! So sorry to hear about your BFN. Like Bubumaci says, with a closely monitored cycle next month you have a really good chance of getting pregnant. Sending you lots of hugs

 

[deafgal01]

That is a bummer but I am not going to raise your hopes and say a closely monitored cycle will give you a bfp because you could still get bfn either way but I definitely think you are one cycle closer to that bfp you have been waiting for.

I am not saying the above to be harsh. I am saying it because I have had a closely monitored cycle and still got bfn from it. I do wish someone had been tactful enough to tell me not to get my hopes up too high cuz there is so many factors in getting that bfp. One could very well have a perfect cycle and not get bfp or not a perfect cycle and get bfp against all odds.

Think I will shut up and take my leave now. I do hope the next cycle is it for you miki.

 

[Olive333]

Unfortunately, infertility brings uncertainty every single cycle. Like deafgal stated not even perfectly monitored cycles end up in a BFP. I had two perfectly monitored cycles with three good size follicles with trigger and still got a BFN both times. I also went into thinking that it would work right away since most of the women I had read got their BFP either on their first try or on their second with DIUI. I have been on a break since I can't think of going through a negative after a negative. There is nothing wrong with me, I ovulate on my own and did medicated cycles to up my chances.

Sometimes when women have been successful, they can’t help but to encourage other women to continue since it worked for them. Let’s remember that fertility treatments don’t work for everyone no matter how many times they try. For some is the lack of funding and for others it just doesn’t happen even after IVF after IVF. No one wants to think that if you try and try it still won’t happen. I know I haven’t tried many times and I eventually will try again in the near future, but I have to keep in mind that it is a good possibility that it might not work for us.

I’m praying that one day we will also be in the blessed group of being pregnant and a mommy 

 

[bubumaci]

Hmmm - DG and Olive - it sounds like you are saying that when we (myself included) were suggesting monitoring more closely, that it meant I automatically was saying that it would mean success. All of my cycles, transfers etc. were monitored (had to be ICSI with fresh transfers + FETs after ICSI - cycle after cycle, with repeated BFNs) - so I know that it doesn't necessarily mean a BFP ...
My point was only, that by monitoring when you do the IUI, you are going to be upping the chances of success (for example, to me, it seems pointless doing the IUI if ovulation hasn't been guaranteed or might not even have taken place - I never did an IUI, but I am sure that it involves spending money on the procedure ...)... and I see no harm in trying to increase the chances of something working.

There is never a guarantee with TTC. Neither for people able to conceive naturally, nor for those going through AI - in whichever shape or form it may happen. I too believed that first or second try would work for us ... and you know how many it ultimately took (and even now, I am in disbelief regarding my little miracle)...

And with each try we went through, there were people on my group saying "this is it, this will be it, this has to be it" and I did get tired of hearing it, because I stopped believing it ... just couldn't give up (but also said, that I couldn't hear it any more).

What I do believe in, is trying to do what we can to increase our chances and personally, I firmly believe that monitoring whether or not ovulation takes place is important, to make sure that there is something there for the sperm to try to fertilise. Whether or not that then results in an embryo that nestles in ... that is a huge portion of luck, fate and everything else that gets thrown our way ... IMHO.

all around.

Hey ladies,

Hubby and I are about to embark on our last ever chance of making biological embryos. Two successful mtese but no bfp yet...perhaps third time lucky.

Both of us are already getting our thoughts around to using ds. Its a hard thing for me to move on to this. Biggest fear is rejection from the child when they grow up. Did any of u using ds feel this and what did u do to overcome it? What if they like the donor better than us when they finally meet?

I go in for a lining scrape on friday and then start the cycle whenever af comes after that. Its been a loonngg time waiting and im sick of it. I just want our babies already.

 

[CanadianMaple]

Hi girls. I'm a old member here. My husband passed away suddenly last Feb, the night after our egg retrieval. I am so excited to see some members here that are now pregnant after being through such a tough journey.

I have 9 frozen embryos and am going to attempt a FET. I've been building my lining and have the transfer booked for a week from today. I'm really scared, but know I need to give one of those blasts a chance.

I just couldn't come back to BnB tonight and not peek in on you guys. Thinking of the hell Chris and I went through with the azoo brings back a lot of emotions, but it did bring us closer together, which in a backwards way makes me thankful.

 

[MoBaby]

Hi canadianmaple! Great to see you! I know your last several months have been awful. Glad to see you will do a fet. That is fantastic! Your husband will be looking down on you and those embabies can't wait to see your bfp! Fx for you.
