TTC for 6+ months? *20 bfp's and counting!*

[Katikins612]

Hi Ladies,

DH and I had our appointment with the RE to discuss a plan of action. Apparently his SA results were worse than I had thought..and based on that he needs to repeat the test next Fri and also make an appointment with a urologist. With our current test results, they are recommending us going straight into IVF (and using the ICSI method), rather than IUI. Such a heartbreaking day for us...Hoping that there is nothing seriously wrong with him, and that his results next week show an improvement. He does work in a heated environment and had also been sick prior to the test, so maybe that made things worse than they really are. We shall see...

Katikins, dh and I have been given the exact same news based on dh's sa results. We also felt devastated at first, however we've managed to see the positive side of it now in that we know what the problem is. You never know, the urologist might find out what is causing dh's problem and be able to help. Dh and I are getting ready to start icsi asap, just waiting on documents etc coming in. It will take time, but I hope you both start to feel more positive about the situation soon, and I'm here if you need to vent x

I'm sorry you two got some not so great news! I hope that knowing the problem means you're much closer to getting your precious bundles.

Oh Katikins. Hugs hun. I am sorry they didn't come back all that great. Maybe it was the environment & his sickness. I guess, see what they come back at before you try to get all stressed out about it (I know easier said than done!!)

Hubby has his SA today. I am quite nervous. We haven't got any good news regarding my fertility so I am assuming the worst but really trying to hope for the best!!

You two will get your beans one way or another. Just try to stay positive and know you're getting the answers that you needed. Easier said than done I know.

Hubby got his SA results back today and he is above average!!!

60 million per ml and 65% motility. The relief is immense. I just don't get it now - where's my baby??!!

Glad to hear everything is going ok with you new wifey. Hope u have a h & h 9 months!

Hope - great news about your DH's SA!

Me and my DH have an appt with the doc on thursday. I'm getting a bit nervous about it. DH is happy to have a SA but he is nervous about having one.

 

[snowflakes120]

I got great news today too!! My hubby's SA turned out "perfectly normal" as well. They are sending the exact numbers in the mail so I should get them in a couple days. I am just so happy that we only have to deal with my issues!! T-2 weeks til RE appt!!

 

[Katikins612]

Hey girls!

Snowflakes & Hope - Congrats on your DH's SA coming out normal!! That should definitely provide you with some relief!

Flou - Lots of luck on your Dr's appt. As nervous as you are now, you will feel relief once you take the next step. No matter what the outcome, there are plenty of options! Please keep us posted.

New Wifey - Sending my prayers your way! I have lots of faith that this is your sticky bean.

Sandoval - Let's definitly keep in touch on this crazy IVF journey. I have just started doing the research on the "process" and am slightly overwhelmed. But..no matter what, im in it for whatever it takes. When do you expect to start?

How is everyone else doing? It's about time we see another BFP in this thread

AFM - DH is scheduled for another SA this coming Friday. He also has an appointment with a urologist early August to make sure there is nothing "seriously" wrong. The results of this next SA will determine which step we take. If its not so good, we will proceed straight to IVF (icsi method). Our insurance will cover 3 cycles, either IVF or IUI..so I dont think I want to waste my chances if IUI is not recommended.

Katikins - Tomorrow's the big day! Thinking good thoughts.

cntrygrl - Did you test today?

Flou - Good luck today at your appt. Update when you can on what they said!!

New Wifey - How ya feeling? Any new Sx's?

Hope all are doing well!!

Not much going on with me. I think I finally OV'd for this cycle - had a small temp raise this AM. This is the latest I have ever OV'd and I have like 16 charts!! I don't know what to think of it and then with a small raise - it makes me think I didn't have a strong OV... I guess we'll see what my Progesterone level is next week.

I'm kinda having a hard time accepting the fact that we are going to a Specialist for my issues. It's a bit disappointing and can't believe that things have turned out they way they have. It just seems so real now having to go and face all the issues I have but I guess I need the TTC help. Just can't believe that this is our journey!! I figured it would be so easy and I'd get knocked up right away... I bet I will feel better about the situation after the appt (7/23) with a new plan in hand. Ya know?

I haven't tested kind of holding out. Woke up this morning a little crampy and my back had started to hurt (normal AF stuff for me). Tends to be if I test and it's negative I get down in a slump. So if I don't test and AF shows I'm hoping I won't be so down.
