Spouses with low sperm count.

[GeorgiaBelle]

Please let us know your DH's results for his SA, HappyBunny. You should get them Thursday, right? I'm praying that you are going to get wonderful news.

I would like for my hubby to get another SA done when he sees our RE in October. The test is so expensive. I pay $90.00 out of pocket each time. I'm not sure if our RE will want another one done though. When we saw him in July, he said he wanted us to try for 6 more months and then start with an IUI. I printed the articles I linked to in a previous post, to show our RE. I'm hoping that he'll let us try on our own a little longer because of my DH's dental problems.

I'm sorry that you got a negative test. I hate it when your period gets your hopes up and then they are dashed. It's always hard.

Sending you lots of

 

[GeorgiaBelle]

Traskey,

Thank you for your kind words and hugs. I was wrong to get my hopes up even a little bit.

My period this month is behaving strangely. It started two days earlier than it had in the last three months. After going to the bathroom all that morning, I didn't have anything on the tissue until right before 12:00 pm. During the rest of that day, I didn't have any stains on my panties (sorry for TMI) until a little bit showed much later that night. When I wiped as I went to the bathroom throughout the day, sometimes the amount on the tissue was barely there.

I've had a lighter periods a few times before. My periods normally are heavy on the first day and the next one or two days. Then I barely have anything on the pad but showing when I wipe for the next days. My period lasts 7 days. I wasn't heavy yesterday and not much today.

I've had light periods in the past, but I still haven't had any cramps. Not even a twinge.

I wondered about implantation bleeding, but I think it is supposed to be very light and my bleeding has been light but not very light. I just took another HPT and it came back negative, again.

My Mama bled heavily while she was pregnant with my brother. He was born 11 years before I was born. I don't know what to think.

Girls, Question for you...It has been a year since DH's first SA, and we are hoping that his numbers have improved since the first one we did so we can get the go ahead to do IUI. We are scheduling his next SA very soon. Does anyone have any positive stories to share that had improved SA results over time that they would like to share....I am trying to stay positive and hopeful for the next SA....This October marks the 2 year anniversary since DH had his original VR.

 

[Traskey]

Georgia, I do sometimes have lighter periods but if she doesn't get going at all I would just check again with a hpt.

Wanna, we had an improvement with DH on Wellman Conception from 10 million to 62.5 million but that wasn't after VR. I'm hoping that you see an improvement so you have your IUI.

Thank you for the information and for the good luck... I hope you have a great weekend!!

My DH was diagnosed with a slightly low count of 16 million per milliliter has been taking Tamoxifen 20mg a day plus GNC mega man for 5 months now and were seeing a huge improvement in count and motility. at least double the count he had before. so were hoping for a BFP soon and I just wanted to let all of you know what has helped us and maybe it can help someone else.

Thanks for the info and for sharing your story with me !! I went to G&C today with DH and got him some more vitamins, he was on Fertiliaid for a few months, but he hadnt been using any for a while, so I got him back on his vitamins again and hopefully our upcoming SA will have higher numbers that the first we did!!

My DH hated the fertilaid , he said it tasted like crap, and it did nothing to improve the count it might have been because he dident take the full 3 pills a day and also they say it takes months to see a improvement . the GNC mega man are coated so they go down easier. and we saw increased volume after about a month of him taking them. Good luck on your upcoming SA.

Hello ladies,

Well the SA didn't go as we hoped! We got 4 million 50% motility 10% morphology. The dr said it was up to us to attempt an IUI but chances were slim. So we are going to do it anyways. DH's doctor has requested an appointment next month so we are going to go and see what he has to say. Originally he told us the surgery was a success and we should be pregnant in no time. I've been doing the SA's on my dr instructions so maybe DH's dr will give us some hope.

Congratulations, HappyBunny! As long as you and your hubby didn't lose any of your hard work, I call that a victory! God bless you both with your IUI. I am praying that you will have your sweet miracle or miracles soon.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Thank you ladies.

 

[GeorgiaBelle]

Ladies,

Hi! My DH normally stays inside me for a few minutes after he ejaculates. He hopes that will facilitate all his sperm staying inside. I have read conflicting opinions on the subject though. Some say that it is better to pull out as soon as it happens and others believe that staying in as long as possible is better.

What do you ladies think? I would enjoy hearing your opinions.

Hope everyone is well and successful!

 

[SweetJennie]

I have no idea Georgia but we started using softcups to keep everything up inside and having him pull out right away. We are going to try that for another 4 cycles or so and see if we get lucky.

 

[GeorgiaBelle]

SweetJennie,

Thank you! How are you and your husband? Think about you often and pray you are feeling better each day.

I've heard about Soft Cups. How do you use them while trying to conceive?

 

[SweetJennie]

Thank you very much.

Well after your partner finishes you put the cup up inside of you to keep as much of the sperm as possible close to your cervix. That way you get the most out of it instead of having some just fall out. This may by tmi so little warning for anyone wanting to read further!

Sometimes we kind of have to move quick and catch the sperm as it is falling out after OH pulls out and sort of scoop it and guide it back in with the cup. I know some people prefer to just have their OH "express" it directly into the cup and then put it in but I prefer the other way.

We always end up losing most of the sperm each month and I would get so worried because OH has a low count to start with so this seemed like a good way to make sure most of it stays where it needs too.
