Spouses with low sperm count.

[SweetJennie]

I know I haven't posted in this thread in ages. After being told I would never conceive naturally I got fairly depressed and kept to myself. I just wanted to give you gals who have partners with low sperm counts hope. My OH has a count of 4 million with low motility and we were waiting to a referral to a FS which wouldn't come until next year. We were told by 4 different doctors we could not conceive naturally... and guess what? We did! I'm now 5 weeks pregnant.

I just wanted to try and give you all some hope because I had hit rock bottom... I know bfp announcements can be painful so if this has upset anyone in anyway I am sorry.

Jennie I think that is a Lovely positive post, don't worry !

It's a sign that it can and does happen, and we can all have our long awaited happy ending xx

Good Luck, hope you have a happy and Healthy 9 months, you deserve it after a long and emotional journey to get there xx

 

[SweetJennie]

No, sorry I do not know what his Morph was but we were told that it wasn't bad. Their main concern with us was that the count was really low and the ones he did have didn't swim right.

Amazing news Congrats there is hope out there!!!

I to am interested to no whst your morph is?

Congratulations Jennie, hope is always a good thing to have so thanks for sharing.


DH has had to come off the Wellman Conception as it was inflamming his gout. It's a bit of a blow as his count had improved at the second SA after being on it. I suspect it will go back down now. Just have to get on with it now and hope for a miracle.

Congratulations Jennie
Thank you for sharing some good news

@Traskey maybe you could try just vit c with your DH or zinc and folic acid.
I stopped taking pregnacare last year because i found it made me constipated and i started to get belly aches. I take far more vits now but all individually, I guess i just couldn't handle wellman vitamins

 

[Traskey]

Oh, that's interesting Mrs Evans. Thank you for that. I'll get him some of those and fingers crossed they won't play him up.

Thats fantastic news! Congrats!

Like I mentioned I am one of those cases as well, we were told it would never happen naturally or we had a 2% chance of having a baby the natural way but it DID HAPPEN. It took us 16 cycles so it was a long wait but it happened so we beat the odds to.

I don't think we'll beat the odds this time before treatment but we didn't want to wait as long this time since we want our kiddos close together which is why we're going back to the clinic.

Hi Guys

just a quick update, we met our FS for a review of my OH test results and we have been put on the NHS IVF waiting list. She doesnt think IUI will work for us and says. we shouldnt wait any longer so hopefully in the next couple of months i start IVF. I was hoping she would say IUI was an option but oh well

I'm looking into the Egg share scheme as i'd really like to help another women, and the wait for a Black woman in the UK is very long. I'd love to be able to help someone have a child too.

Have a lovely weekend ladies
xx

Mrs Evans,

Glad that that things are moving forward and hopefully it wont be long until you start ivf!

Where abouts in london are you? Im originally from the SE? apparently the waiting list isnt that long? What have you been told about your way?

What a lovely thing to do for someone else Mrs Evans!

Good luck for you BFP you deserve it as does everyone on this thread!

 

[Traskey]

Mrs Evans, that is great news. We should be getting our referral in 3 weeks and were told that the wait was 6-8 weeks. We are going to look at the Herts and Essex and Oxford week after next to decide which clinic we want.

I think that's amazing that you would like to egg share

 

[MrsEvans]

hey guys

i'm in essex but im looking into the Lister and CRM to do the egg share. If i dont make the cut i can carry on waiting for the NHS referral with Queens in Romford at the moment its 6 months

 

[Kelly9]

Looks like the lot of us will be going through ivf together! I should be starting beginning of Aug based off the wait list here. It's so far but so close!

I think that's a great IDE mrsevans. I have a good friend currently doing egg share as well.

 

[kazzab25]

Yes looks like we will be!!

I have my first appointment thursday but i have a feeling they will want to do lap and dye first!!

I will let you know what they say!

 

[Kelly9]

I have to have an HSG done as well. The apt went well have to get blood work redone as well as another u/s but all of that will be done end of june beginning of july which lines us up for an aug start. I am not looking forward to the hsg again as it was very painful the first time. If by some miracle they offered us treatment this cycle I am hoping they'll let me skip it

 

[keepsmiling]

ohh i hope i dnt have to have another hsg dun,, mine was agony x

 

[Kelly9]

They are awful aren't they! At our clinic we have to have had one done within a year of treatment. Mine is two years old so sucks to be me!

 

[keepsmiling]

ahh shit mine was 2 years ago too
im gunna demand its dun under anasthetic tho
no way am i havin that done awake! xx
