I bought like 200 ICs, but I know the moment I think I'm going to get a faint line, I'll be out dropping $150 on FRER

Ugh, I'm so.....predictable. LOL

Omg!! I thought I was bad having bought 15 midstream hpt and 2 FRER ready for the impatience to start.

finished day 3 of soy! I did 200mg today and one baby asprin!

I was supposed to do 160mg today, but the new bottle of soy is 100 mg and you can't break the pill in half so i said screw it! 200mg for 3 days!

Is this mad or what ladies. I'm sitting in the car waiting for dh to finish work so we can speed to the Dr's to hear results of SA. LOL never in my life would I think I would be in this predicament. I can relate to the poas madness, but I try n restrict it to ic opks. I just can't afford it. I also can relate to otherwise being rational. I am usually the go to person for advice/calm/harmony amidst chaos, yet I find myself googling my every thought, testing an opk on the day AF shows and ridiculous things. It's amazing how not being able to do something I did 4 times unplanned, at probably the worst time to have kids, makes me nuts. Analyzing the why, what ifs etc. I will update later with the results...

 

[stuckinoki]

Fx for good news tryn4!!!!

Update us when you know! I've got everything crossed for you!!!

Sad evening ladies. God I feel so sad. I don't even kno what this means but apparently dh sperm don't swim. Or some of them. Basically there is an issue with motility. Hubby is visably upset or sad but it not saying anything. He hasn't spoken. The Dr. sending him to specialist, and he said our chances of conceiving are low. Only 16% of his boys rapid progression, 23% non progressive, 57% immotile. I'm really super depressed.

 

[stuckinoki]

How many were in the sample tryn4?

If there are high numbers, even with low motality and progression, IUI may still be an option..

And for IVF, well, my doctor told me "you only need one sperm for IVF" is that an option for you?

Don't give up yet, your DH will see the urologist and hopefully there's a quick fix, in the meantime, don't stop TTC, you never know!

Thanks for the encouragement. Seems like count n volume was good according to Dr. Can't recall exact measurement. But he said that's fine. My hubby has had no bio kids ever, and we haven't had luck in 5 yrs. It's not looking good. Ivf isn't an option for us because of money lol not lack of 1 sperm. LOL unfortunately for us he has millions of them and not millions of $$

TONS of states offer free IVF grants. You have to make less than a certain amount of money, but you can apply for grants to get IVF for free.

A friend of mine did this and she's 20 weeks pregnant with twins right now.

IUI may also be an option. It's usually $300-$400 per round, but they clean the sample and you only get the good swimmers deposited directly into your uterus...making it easier for them to reach the egg.

 

[tryn4]

I am in Canada. No grants here.

 

[tryn4]

Anyways ladies, thanks for the support and fx for all of you. I'm basically out, gonna stop charting n stressing and timing. Hubby has gone into a shell...I'm sure he's sad, but he already isn't the greatest communicator, and this just made it worse. So I can't do it alone, just gonna let whatever will be will be. So baby dust n bfp to all!

 

[Misscalais]
