My dh had vr 2 1/2 hrs ago. Tried for a little over a year and nothing happened. Found out I had two extremely large cysts on ovaries and had to have surgery to remove them. Still nothing, so we started clomid. Maxed out on dose, even though I was ovulating. Still nothing. Went through a battery of tests, lab, HSG (ow), still nothing. Then we tried preseed and some insane concoction of vitamins and herbs. We started seeing a specialist. More tests. We then found out DH has antibodies from the reversal. The nurse told us we would have to do IUI with ICSI. Went in for our consultation on this, and the doc said we should try IUI first. We just did our 1st round with clomid, estradiol, a trigger shot (I had actually started to ovulate on my own, it was just for a "boost") and promerium. My cycles are usually about 31 days long, but I figured since I for sure ovulated on day 13 it would be fine to test on day 28. I have had a bunch of cramping, which is unusual before I start so I wasn't sure if this was a good sign or a bad one. Turns out a bad one, I just got a BFN tonight. I'm so frustrated. I get my hopes up every time we do something different or try a new thing. I thought this IUI would be a for sure fix.

sorry to hear about your BFN, i can understand your frustration, but I admire you strength in all of this, it seems we can all learn something from you as because most of us on here are new TTCers after VR and we haven't experienced the things you have, so please do stay with us on here, we would all like to share your journey and we will all keep everything crossed for you in hope that you get your BFP pretty soon!!

Thanks! If anyone should have some trouble after reversal (they say give it a year or so), you should ask your doc about those pesky antibodies. The urologist that did the reversal never mentioned this could happen. The doc said that having antibodies was like "trying to walk through a door with your arms outstretched" he also said it's actually fairly common after reversal, though I actually think it happens when they do the actual vasectomy. It can happen to guys who have had injury down there too. Any time their blood comes in contact with their sperm.

I'm feeling less pessimistic today, as soon as AF arrives (grrrr), I'll get to start over again!! At least this time I know what to expect with the IUI and won't be so nervous!

 

[seoj]

My hubby had his first VR back in Oct 2009... then a second one June of this year. The first didn't work- so we gave it another try! And yay he has super swimmers this time! lol. Such a relief His VR was after almost 12 yrs!!!! So very long compared to some of you ladies... I'm 36 (almost 37) and my hubby just turned 37. This will be his 2nd child (we have his daughter full time from previous marriage and she's 13)... but our first together and I'm SO SO super excited to start that journey together! He's just the best!!!

Luck and baby dust to you all!

Is there nothing they can do for anti bodies then ?

 

[mrsessex]

There is no cure for antibodies as from what I've read

Not fair is it

 

[SeeJay]

Nope, no cure from my understanding. Not all of them (the spermies) are affected. About 40% of his are and his count when we did IUI was 81 million. They took them and spun them down so that the ones without impairment (antibodies) were what was left and they put them in. I figure there was at least 20 mil good little swimmers in there. My DH started taking L Carnatine and grape seed extract to increase his count a few weeks before the IUI. We really think those vitamins helped, his last count was 41 million, both tests were done with 4 days of abstaining. He had also been exercising some. If IUI doesn't work, they can take one of his healthy ones and inject it into my egg (IVF ICSI) and place them in there, but we are already so many $$$ in now, I hate to spend 15 grand a pop on IVF, with no guarantee. He seemed to think we should be able to conceive with IUI.

 

[MRSRICHRS2K]

your right it is not fair wishing you loads of luck & xx

Hey ladies...
