Thank you, not out of the woods yet but it goes to show not even azoospermia is the end of the road and you CAN get a pregnancy. Whether it stays with us or not that's just a matter of prayers now.

Good luck to you! Hope the Clomid works and you won't need ICSI.

I've added you, also everyone, if you want a link to your diary on the first page add that as well.

The thread will stay long before we would have had our bubs and you remember how desperate for info we have all been, right? The more we can tell the girls who will be in our shoes later the better.

Can you still get pregnant using ICIS with 0% morph?x

 

[MummyIwanabe]

Yes I believe so. my clinic said they could. it took them 6 hours to find ans sift through the sperm to get good ones but they did and it ended in a BFP

Hi Ladies, I forgot to mention that at our last FS ICSI appointment the FS mentioned that DH count went from 100,000 to 600,000. I wonder if its gone up anymore

Thanks huni.. I hope they can..

He has okish numbers in sperm count around 14million and mobility is around 30% but the morph was well the words were "too scanty to review" that was NHS style.. We got consultaiton next week and doing another SA do these should go into more depth i find private always does.. xx

 

[MummyIwanabe]

you only need a few good ones. with 0% it just means they gota look much harder but they should be there

Hey Aclio how did the FS appointment go any news when your start your ivf process?

Hey,
I'm new to baby and bump, dh has low mtility 20%. Just found out today so feeling a bit gutted really. Reading all your posts has cheered me up though, no point being negative need to stay positive and hopefully thatwill be mine one day!

 

[MummyIwanabe]

I think that if levels are lower than they should be that it doesn't mean its impossible it just means that it may take some time hence why we've all been trying so long. PMA helps and our clinic said it could be the next month or maybe 10 years who knows. A difficult thing to hear so we opted for treatment via ICSI. I find having something to focus on, a moving forward attitude has really helped me.

Good luck xxx

 

[rainbow girl]

I will keep trying with the PMA! Good luck with the ICSI, lots of baby dust to you and your other half! x

DH and I went to see the endocrinologist today to get his blood test results. All was well - no hormonal issues which could cause TTC problems. We've been signed off as suitable to see the fertility specialist so we just have to wait to be sent an apppointment date.

Hi ladies we always thought the problem was with me - I have a fibroid, blocked tube and did have polyps and a chronic infection (possibly caused by 1st MC) but just before we started IVF they did our tests again and we found out DH had 55% sperm antibodies. This is also known as sticky sperm. It can be caused by a sports injury but DH suspects that he has a varicocele (which he didn't tell the FS).
We are currently coming to the end of D/R and hoping to start stimms on Tues. I am going to speak to the clinic coz they have put us down for IVF with a ? next to ICSI - they said it was up to the andrologist on the day which worries me a bit.
Anyway :wave:

Hi hun

Good luck to you with your treatment - just seeing where you live ... are you under the CRM at Coventry?

Deb

 

[tansey]

Deb yes I am!

 

[Deb111]

Cool - that's 3 of us on here so far that I'm aware of then

We've been told it will be ICSI for us. Can I ask how long the wait for your treatment was once they decided you needed IVF / ICSI?

Wishing you lots of luck

Deb I was being seen at another hospital for my fibroid and MCs and then we moved to the area and our new doc referred us. We saw the doc on 26th Jan and got 1st appointment for Feb 25 and then went back on 14th April and discussed results and told that we could start next cycle and needed to book an info session with the nurse. We went to reception to book the info session and they'd just had a cancellation for the next day and so we went back and because I was on CD21 I was able to start that day!
I feel lucky - especially as my clock is ticking!

Hello ladies!
I am new to this area. . .
DH and I are on our 13th cycle TTC. All my tests came back normal, but DH has low morphology, motility, and count. He has an appointment with the urologist May 5th to try and figure out why. Please add me to the list! Thanks!

Hi Rdy - nice to see you here (just a shame about the circumstances)

I've recently come over to this area too, still in F.A.I.T.H too though

Don't know if you caught my post a couple of weeks ago but although we had been told hubby's first SA test was normal, when we went to our second appt, we were told the 2nd test had no sperm in it and then he checked and found out that the first sample didn't either and that they'd just sent us the wrong letter

So within the space of 5 minutes we went from thinking the problem was with me and that IVF might be a last resort, to being told that news and hearing that ICSI / IVF is our ONLY chance and even that may not be possible if they can't find any sperm rather than there just being a blockage

Anyway I hope you're due for some good news soon

Deb xx
