Yes my chart confused everyone including myself.... Which makes it even harder to take!!
Elphabaa .... Long time no see
I didnt get his prewash this go but last go DH count was 22mil Pre and 4.5 mil post and this time we waited 2 days and still got a low count!!
DH just wants me to go for Donor sperm but I'm not sure how I feel about it!!
As awkward as this sounds... I am a bit jealous of your hubby's willingness to let you use donor sperm. My hubby would rather us never have children at all than use donor sperm. He says 'we can always adopt.' Of course, he doesn't realize how much cheaper it would be to use donor sperm with IUI than it would be to adopt. Plus, at least with donor sperm there isn't the risk that the birth mom (or dad) is going to change their mind and take the baby back. Really, he is being selfish because he thinks if the baby can't biologically be his, then it shouldn't biologically be mine either.
I understand how he feels about it, but I wish he would realize that it is pretty selfish. This baby would be his baby. His name will be on the birth certificate. Nobody else will have a right. If he has such a problem with this baby not being his, then why should I trust that he wouldn't have a problem with an adopted baby.
Of course, we had this whole conversation before we knew anything about our infertility problems. So, maybe at this point, he would be more open to considering it. If things don't go well Saturday with his next test, then I may approach the subject again. In a perfect world, everything will be fine and we can have a baby that is 100% biologically ours. However, this journey has been far from perfect.
Hubby had a 17 million sperm count in February, motility and morphology were fine. My OBGYN gave him an antibiotic because his PH levels were elevated and that could have meant the 'pipelines' were inflammed. He did a second test 2 weeks later and everything was at least the bottom part of normal. However, in July, his sperm count was down to 6 million with only 0-14% motility. Morphology was okay. It was a drastic decline. RE says we need to get at least 1 million post wash to do IUI, but he was almost insistent that we really try to do IUI if it is possible. However, I read that for IUI to really have a good chance of working, you need to have at least 10 million post wash. Pregnancy can happen with less, but not very likely. He didn't even have that many before wash, so I am very skeptical about wasting our money on IUI. We'll see what happens Saturday though. There is a chance that his test in July was not a good one. Anything could have influenced the low results, including hot tub usage the prior month.
One thing I have to remember is to make sure they tell me his pre wash numbers and his post wash! I want to know both.
) will help I have responded very well to the Meds it All on DH!!!
20 antral follies, so they've decided to start my stims a notch lower than typical. Lining looked good. No cysts.
