af showed her ugly face this morning

 

[Titi]

sorry aB!!! Mine due today too-temp dropped to where it was 1st day of this cycle boohoo!!!

 

[Titi]

Okay-I have results now of semen analysis faxed and in front of me, can anyone help me decipher them?

looks like he has a count of 45 mil but only 49% live and 51% non-motile.

All the other numbers I don't know what they mean.

sorry Ablack! hope next cycle is yours!!!
Titi- I dont know much about SA but the girls on BNB are amazing at reading that kind of stuff
I got a small temp increase this morning but also a postitive OPK. So I expect to see a real increase tomorrow morning, I hope!!!

Thats not bad at all hunny! 20 mil is the lower end of normal so he has double that which is great and they expect to see 50% motility so he is only 1% off that which with a little help from vits and minerals etc he will have olympic swimmers in no time. Do you have the morphology results?

Doodar thank you so much!!!! I do have morph results but don't know how to read them.

For Normal Oval Forms 35
Amorphous Head: 11
Abnormal Tail 38
Microcephalic: 13
Macrocephalix 2
o retained cytomplasm
0 duplicate heads
immature forms: 1

comments: mod midepiece defects, bent tails. Native aintibody.

What to do though about 51% DOA? Dr said there wouldn't be much luck til it was less than 25%.

Really appreciate it!!! Thanks

stupid witch got me

wow!! You only need 2 more temps above the coverline!!!!!!!!

Titi this is what my doc told us during DH's many SA's, cause I guess it depends where you live... oh before I start his SA isn't to bad at all! So I was told for North america that morphology normal is 15% count should be 40 million or over and motility should be 50% or over. I am not sure what DOA is? Sorry, maybe it is the clumping factor, have you tried to google it? SO all in all I think his SA was not bad! His motility is 49% but thats only one away from 50! Not sure what you meant by live either. Hope that helped! My DH's average was 8-10% morphology, 12 to 23 million count and 37-47 motility and we did it! So I'd say you're covered, might take an extra cycle or something but I wouldn't worry! Except about the DOA thing? Since i know nothing of it.

Noooooooo Crossroads don't do that to me!! I didn't know that. I thought all the drops meant AF imminent. Plus AF cramping all day...

Doodar-Kelly-thank you both for the help. Sorry I made DOA up-(dead on arrival)-the Dr. said that out of the sample 49% of the sperm were living after only a few minutes and 51% were already dead.

What is morphology? I don't understand that part.

Kelly-thanks for the inspiration-do you mind sharing how/when you BD to get pg?

Titi!!! OMG!!! You only need to more days of elevated temps to be preggo!!!
best of luck hun!!!!!

but they aren't really elevated are they? They are right at the usual temp where I get my AF (see cd1 temp) and have been dropping past few days?

 

[Guppy051708]

hmm,,,i see your point...but maybe it will still go up! Its still above coverline and it looks like you will be 2 days late tomorrow. Sot thats good. & prior cycle temps dont make a difference. If you look at my chart i never ended/started my cycles with the same temps.

Will you be testing again or just waiting to see if the shows up or not?

Thanks Guppy,
I'm not going to test anymore-I think I messed up my cycle and am actually 1 CD less than it says (due to confusing over spotting) and just feel AFy today. Can't bear another BFN if I had my hopes up.

 

[Kelly9]

Um we dtd every two days on the odd cd's starting right after AF stopped (I think you can see it on my chart actually) since I knew I O'd on cd19 then threw in an extra one on cd20 cause I did O on cd19. ALso got dh taking zinc which he started like a week before so don't think that had anything to do with it. Docs told me DTD every two days so his sperm build up.

I also felt ov that month so I know we DTD like literally an hour or two after eggy was released. Hope that helps hun! Good luck!

Morphology is the form/shape of the sperm so shape of head, tail and midpiece. If they are not formed normally they don't live long or can't swim. Oh also my DH had lots that died after 3 hours not quite 50% of them died but he lost a decent amount after waiting three hours.

 

[kstancook]

Kelly- When are you going to put the thermometer away? I thinks is about time

 

[Kelly9]

I was thinking about that kstancook! I missed one day and only did it today cause I was up. I think the battery has gone weird anyway I keep getting the same 2 or three temps. SO was thinking I would retire it soon, it's just getting out of the habit I suppose!

 

[kstancook]

Im so happy for you!!! Glad to see the scan when well!
