DH got his SA results back and his swimmers are fine and im ovulating. So at the mo dont know why we are not conceiving. Doc is referring us to a fertility specialist. I am however on the month i thought we had missed the day i O'd im a day late with AF! Going to test tomorrow. Hoping this maybe our lucky month and we wont need the specialist.

Good luck Flou!

I too have been referred to see a gyno. Its getting scary now!

I also got to have a look at DH's SA results and whilst his count and motility are great, his morphology is really bad (9%). The doc didn't mention it as an issue though so here's hoping he's right!

 

[dreaminghopin]

9% morphology is good. WHO guidelines state anything over 4% as normal and your doc would have mentioned it to you if he was concerned.

 

[luna_19]

ooh good luck testing flou

afm I'm onto cycle 10

 

[OperationBbyO]

Hope--9% sounds great!! My hubby has 1%.

Our RE uses the strict something er other and he said he wants to see morphology around 14%. Do you know what criteria were used on your DH?

REALLY??? I've read in some places that 4% or higher is normal, and in others that 30% or higher is normal. It got me panicking a bit but you ladies have put my mind at rest.

Thank you

No criteria were used on DH - the doc was very vague and didn't even know when I asked him what normal was supposed to be! My best mate's a nurse though and she said if the doc thought there was an issue he would have flagged it up.

Hey girls,

Hope and Flou - great news on the SA results!

Snowflakes - good luck with the IUI this cycle. I knows few girls that had a lot of luck w. femara. Hopefully your the Same.

What is everyone else up to?

AFM, DH and I are cleared for an IUI this cycle. Af should arrive next week, and I'll start clomid on cd5. Estimating a date sometime end of sept or early oct. I'm excited, but not all that hopeful it will work. Figure we will try this twice before moving into IVF. Will keep everyone posted.

I started testing-type stuff!

Had an ultrasound on Monday. I tried to read my notes, technician said everything looked fine but the notes said something about a bit of fluid somewhere or other...

Today (Wednesday) I had my first follicle tracking ultrasound - my follicles are still little so looks like a wait until ovulation. They also found some small cyst type thing that was a bit solid or something... also me reading my notes, they didn't mention anything.

Naturally I managed to worry myself silly about everything...

I just keep telling myself to relax, after this month we'll finally get some answers when we go back to the doctor! I shouldn't give so much power to notes I don't even understand!

GL everyone xx

Hi ladies. Quick check in! I had my ultrasound yesterday. I had a 22mm and 14mm follicle. So I triggered last night at 10pm. And BD'd yesterday. We have to skip today. Booo! But hubby goes in tomorrow at 8am for his part and then I go in at 10am for the IUI. FX! Kinda nervous that I'm going to OV before the IUI though. I am quite achey and I had a pretty close to positive OPK yesterday. Really hoping it holds out til the IUI.

Good Luck Snowflake my FX'ed for you

Good luck snowflakes!

 

[sandoval_star]

Oh snowflakes - didn't realise you were doing it so soon! Best of luck, hope this is it for you! xx

 

[dreaminghopin]

Good luck.. This might be a dumb question but I thought they monitored you before iui to ensure you dont ovulate beforehand.

 

[sandoval_star]

Thinking about you snowflakes, hope it went well

 

[snowflakes120]

Dreaminghoping - I am being monitored. I went in for 3 ultrasound and 3 blood works. I must grown faster than they thought.

Thanks Sandoval. Things were good. But the timing was horrible. I had a half degree temp raise today indicating OV was yesterday. The egg was most likely already dead by the time we did IUI today. I can just hope that some of hubby's swimmers made it up to wait for the egg after our Tuesday BD. Or that I OV'd later than I think and the egg was still alive. Either way, I feel out. Great news is that hubby's numbers were amazing. He had 35 million at 97% motility post sperm wash. He's got some super swimmers.

Oh, Snowflakes, I hope it worked! PMA, PMA, PMA! Go watch some funny DVDs or something to keep your mood elevated or do something to pamper yourself. I put together an IVF care package for myself - some pampering products like organic nail polish, sugar scrub and body butter; magazines; a copy of Tina Fey's "Bossy Pants"; and some comfy pajama pants for lounging around. I'm getting comedies on Netflix. You should do the same!

 

[sandoval_star]

Stay positive Snowflakes!! Like you said, hubby has super swimmers so more than likely there were loads of them just waiting around from Tuesday
I defo have a good feeling for you x
