Clomiphere Citrate is the name of the med they're trying him on.Anyone have any experience with their hubby using it?
There seem to be several of us trying to lose weight at the moment so let's get cheering each other onMaybe we should get some tickers up and weekly updates? I know I have found you all incredibly supportive with the azoo, so why would it be any different with losing weight - it's all part of this journey and I think the 'depression' that goes with this azoo journey at many stages is different to many other people's journeys.
I joined the ww thread on here, but don't find it anywhere near as supportive as this group (although I have to admit I am just very comfortable here so maybe didn't give it a fair go)
Off to weigh myself after my first week back on ww since christmas (when I put on 5 of the 6 lbs I'd just lost!)
Hi there girls,
Sperm donor is too hard in Aus (we have to have a 'known donor')
MJ, not sure which State you're in but have you spoken to any other clinics?
We don't have a known donor and so we will be using an "unknown" donor. We have all the paperwork to get going if we decide to go that way...
Hi MJ - We are with QFG. I understand that the wait time for Australian donors is quite long because there are so few people prepared to do it for free as you can't trade in gametes but that it is still possible to import relatively easily. I haven't looked into the cost too much yet and I'm am sure it is really expensive but it is an option if you don't want to wait.
Anyway, I've just googled 'donor sperm and NSW' and came up with a couple of links to try:
* https://www.fertilityeast.com.au/donor_sperm.html (this might be the place you'd found)
*https://www.ivf.com.au/ivf-donor-program/sperm-donation.aspx (I think this place is affiliated with our clinic...).
There are heaps of others. Make sure you ask your clinic for copies of all of your test results and DH's test results so that you don't have to redo them all at the new clinic. It gets expensive as a lot of them aren't Medicare rebatable.
I've found that most of the IVF clinics in Australia don't really know a lot about male factor infertility so you have to be really persistent (DH calls it pushy) to get what you want.
Good luck
PS please let me know what you find out. Two heads doing this research are bound to be better than one (especially my very tired and over it one)
it hit me like a train wreck yesterday. After a depressing sermon about cheating in church yesterday, for no reason at all I just got very very very pissed off at the world and at everything. Pretty ugly and I asked dh if I was allowed to be that angry. He said it was fine as long I did not take it out on him. I'm in a better mood today but I guess that angry feeling will come and go.
Her husband busted out laughing! She knows we are going for IUI in May (but thinks it will be w/ hubby's sperm), so maybe she was just trying to be nice. 
Still thought it was funny! She ain't got no sense!
sb we are all thinking of you xx
That's the worst news possible. 
there are no words xx
l am ever so sorry... Have you given next steps any thought?
for facing things with grace & dignity. Although what other choice do we have? I would love to try to organise a get together with you, I think that KB may live in Queensland though, so that may be a bit tricky. What dates are you here, I'm away from the 3rd to 10th March.](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall ](*,)")
banging our head against a brick wall. Today is the 1st day for me to get serious again. Back to walking, back to the gym & just generally eating better.
MJ that's a funny one!
