What to expect at gynaecologist appointment

[mrphyemma]

Thanks for the tip Michelle. Will stick to "doggy" for this cycle and see what happens I need all the help I can get!

 

[DillyC]

Oh great tip WannaB.....

Def gonna try the 'Doggy' a bit more this cycle. Was told I have a retroverted uterus and apparently this was best possie for that too and then laying on tummy afterwards!!??

Will give it a go..might help if OH had more that 1million but hey ho...at least it might put em in the right direction..watch this space!!

FX for you both this cycle x

 

[mrphyemma]

My DH has a fabulous sperm count but poor morphology (only 3%). The only consolation is he had over 8mls of semen and a total sperm count of 306 million so I guess 3% of those is still a good number? He is having a repeat SA on 16th March and I'm hoping for a better morphology rate this time.

Let's hope that doggy does it for us all this time

 

[DillyC]

Hey Mrphyemma

Just checked and if my maths isn't too crappy then....taa daa: 3% of 306000000 = 9,180,000, So a fair amount, but they say anything under 20million is considered low....wouls he take a supplement to see if it improves quality maybe????

Hmmmmmmmm...just checked mine 25% morphology gives us a total of 250,000 sperm ..no wonder the embryologist said no way we will conceive without ICSI...am not liking our odds ! But where there's a sperm there's a way...eh x

 

[mrphyemma]

Going to see what the next SA comes back as and then if needs be get him on a supplement. Can you recommend anything?
Our chances may be lower Dilly but like you say...where there's a sperm there is a way!

 

[DillyC]

Hey.... alot of people have had success with vitabiotics: wellman, can get it from boots etc, my OH is using Zita West male fertility supplement. Also a good independent health food store might have some suggestions.....but hopefully you wont need to!!! x

 

[WannaB]

My FS put my fella straight on supplements even though we have no trouble getting pregnant! He said get Menevit and when I picked some up from the FS clinic the lady who does the SA said they really work well, shes sees a remarkable improvement after the guys take them, nice to get some feedback on a product and that it actually does make a difference!

 

[mrphyemma]

Hmmm I bet we can't get menevit here Michelle. Will google though. Will also look for wellman. I suppose I could dose him up with a supplement. Every little helps.

BTW any sign of that BFP yet Michelle??

 

[WannaB]

No there isnt even a wiff of one! Damn pessaries must have mucked me up, witch was due 3 days ago! Stupid temp even went back up today, very confusing cycle, but hey you get that!

 

[mrphyemma]

How frustrating for you. I hope it is a late BFP rather than a late AF. I always feel like I'm missing out, I never get the excitement of an "am I or aren't I" scenario. My cycles are very regular and I never get chance to test as AF is always on time to the day. 14dpo and my temp drops and within a few hours the witch arrives. I long for the cycle where I get to 14dpo and my temp goes up....then bring on the hpt's and a photo on the pregnancy test galleries for all to scrutinize!...............I'm dreaming here!! lol

Yep menevit is Australian and you are right about it being good stuff, there are loads of rave reviews about it! x

[WannaB]

You cant get it there??? I can always grab you some and post it over, it doesnt take long and there is 3 months supply in a bottle, would be no problems! I never usually get the cliff hangers either, this one isnt one really, just witch being fashionable late!

 

[mrphyemma]

So kind of you to offer lovely but couldn't ask you to do that for me Thank you so much x I'll have a nosy in town next week see what I can come up with here in the UK

 

[WannaB]

It would be no trouble at all, Ive sent 50 opks over to the US for someone on here! Witch just arrived thank goodness!

 

[mrphyemma]

I'm sorry the witch arrived but glad you can get on with the next cycle. You did say you conceive every other month
The supplement sounds fab Michelle but I wouldn't have the foggiest idea about how to get money to you and everything

 

[WannaB]

Think of it as my contribution to your bfp, dont worry about the money, would be happy just to help you out! I believe in karma, one good bfp deserves another, so if your interested just pm your details and I will do the rest for you my lovley!

 

[mrphyemma]

I'm lost for words. There aren't many left like you in the world Michelle

 

[mrphyemma]

Oh...One thing I did notice at the gynae appt. They didn't weigh me or mention my weight at all. I would have thought that would be one of the first things they would do and try and encourage me to lose weight. I have lost 9lbs since Christmas but still got quite a way to go and it often plays on my mind that it may be affecting my fertility.
I'm a Uk size 18 so quite a big lady. When I had my last child I was 7 years younger and 3 stones lighter

 

[WannaB]

Well if he didnt think it was an issue I dont think you should worry about it! If it was a weight issue your cycles would be all over the place, but they are perfect!

 

[mrphyemma]

Perfect yet unproductive I hate not knowing what the problem is. I am a fixer and it drives me crazy all this uncertainty. GAHHH! Will feel better once all the tests have been done and the results in.
