Dealing with azoospermia?

[Mikihob]

Bubu I was not on anything for support. I have never been tested for the exact lengths of either ovulatory or luteal phases. I totally forgot that I did get a positive OPK AFTER the trigger and never did before. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe the spermies and the eggie didn't meet.

I feel ok, other than really down. I am having a hard time getting motivated for anything yesterday and today. Since I can only do Clomid for one more month, I think we might go for it. As long as we have the money of course. I am thinking of asking the doc to look for multiple follicles instead of just finding one and leaving it at that. At least if it's only the right ovary with eggs I can lay on my right side to boost the spermies getting in the correct tube.

I have considered doing a laparoscopy to have the doc check my tubes and uterus or an HSG. I am unsure if my dog does those tests or not, but I want to ask. So far each month, my progesterone levels are great. The first IUI I had very high progesterone 6 days after IUI, so he thinks that I had a chemical. Every other month, whether we did IUI or not it was always in a good spot.

I will call him tomorrow and see what he has to say. The plan is the same, Clomid days 3-7, ultrasounds, trigger, IUI.

Hi Miki! I am very excited. And nervous. We're going to learn a lot about our situation from the first cycle, so I am definitely looking forward to learning and hopefully receiving good news!

Miki, I was away for a week and was hoping to come home to see good news. I'm so sorry about the BFN. What did your doctor say? There are no words- that just sucks. I hope you're taking care of you this weekend.

 

[Mikihob]

sharon I still haven't called him. lol. Monday morning, first thing, I have to call him to set up the ultrasounds for this IUI cycle. We find out July 25 if we can afford it. Hoping that we can. If everything goes right, I should trigger on Sat or Sun (Aug 2 or 3) and then IUI Mon or Tues (Aug 4 or 5). I hope fourth times the charm. I took this BFN pretty hard, the hardest yet actually. I hope that was the last time.

Good luck!

 

[melissaelaine]

Good luck, Miki!!

 

[arzoo]

Good luck Miki.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[deafgal01]

Lately doing ok... Not as upset or miserable over the idea of not being pregnant yet but I'm surviving and enjoying life if that says anything.

 

[Olive333]

Same as deafgal. I have my good days and bad days. I had a bad day on Friday when my friend let me know she had her second baby. Everytime i hear of a pregnancy or a birth it's a bad day for me.

I'm concentrating on my vacation and we have a dr. appointment in the middle of August with another RE to see what we can do if anything.

Good Luck Miki!!!

hi
how are you all ? just a quick question regarding appointment letter. We had our last appointment about 5 weeks ago that was ultrasound about which dr said that after that we will refer you guys to a fertility clinic. normally after one appointment we used to get another appointment letter within a week but this time its been more than a month idk why is it too late ?

 

[bubumaci]

Hmmm, not familiar with appointment letters - doesn't work that way here... But I don't see why it should be too late. Just ring them and ask, why you haven't yet received your referral? xx

Hello everyone. I need some advice. On the last 2 Ovulation days I felt a lot of pain. 2 weeks ago i went to see my gynecologist. we did a ultrasound. My result came in yesterday. The doctor was not there but her nurse practitioner talked to me. she told me that i have a tiny cyst on the left side and it s not big deal. I asked her to give me the report because I wanted to send them to my IVF clinics. At home i read the report and it says that there is a complex cyst on the ride side and a cyst on the left sides. Some fluid detected. The nurse practitioner did not say a word about the ride side or the fluid!!! I m starting my stimulation in less then 4 weeks. Does it make sense to start the stimulation? Do the cysts decrease my chances for a successful ivf?

 

[deafgal01]

Cysts can sometime intervene with the process- it doesn't seem to affect "chances" of successful ivf but depending on how big they are, sometimes the dr will want you to put ivf on hold to make sure the cysts reduce in size. I've heard of some girls developing cysts on fertility meds and then having to "take a break" for a cycle or two to have the cysts reduce on their own usually.

More information would be needed though and you should check with your fertility clinic to see what their standard procedure is, regarding cysts.

 

[Mikihob]

Miraclbaby I would be worried about OHSS. If you already have cysts with fluid it could increase your risk for OHSS from the stims. I would definitely ask if the fluid and the cysts are a problem. Some cysts do have fluid and if they are small I wouldn't think it would cause a problem. You would definitely need more monitoring to watch for OHSS. I can't believe she didn't even tell you about the right side or the fluid. To say one small on the left and leave out the rest. What??!! I hope that it's all ok and you can still move forward with your IVF.

Olive I definitely hear you about getting down at birth and pregnancy announcements. My step-daughters friend had her son a couple of weeks ago and the constant pics sometimes get to me. My eldest step-daughter is pregnant with a guy she's been dating for a few months while going through a divorce. I just break down sometimes and think, how unfair! We WILL get there.

deafgal I am trying to enjoy life too. Baby stuff as I call it, is ALWAYS on my mind and the meds are starting to mess with my emotions badly. I am getting so upset, mad, irritated and crying at everything that annoys me. UGH. I am glad that you are doing so well. Your weight loss is going great too!! Better than mine.

Update ladies:
First ultrasound July 25. Checking follies early to make certain timing is great. Excited! Nervous about the 4th IUI not working, but trying to stay positive.

 

[Miraclbaby]

I got the Ok for my IVF. I sent them the reports to let them know. But the nurse said I can start my pill this weekend and I can start my stimulation at the end of august. I m really excited. Finally a step forward. The wait kills me sometimes, but I think everything happens for a reason. Hope all you girls are doing great. thanks for your response

 

[Mikihob]

That's great you can still move forward with your IVF cycle Miraclbaby.

 

[bubumaci]

Yay

How exciting Miraclbaby! Glad the cysts aren't going to mess things up!

Tulip - I pretty much ALWAYS had to chase up my clinic to make sure that we were going to get the appointment when we were supposed to. Did my flipping head in! One time it was like they hadn't even been given a referral note for me when it was 8 weeks after our previous appointment where they'd said the next appointment would be in 8 weeks! It's the last thing that you should have to do, but unfortunately with some clinics they do need chasing up!

Miki - Good luck with your scan tomorrow! Hoping they see some lovely follies developing! You're right about all the photos going up of people's babies, I nearly deleted my Facebook account because of it, but decided to just stay off for the most part when we were going through our darkest days.

Lots of love to all you lovely ladies! XXX
