She did some bloodwork too and it all came back within the normal range, so who knows! DH goes back to his dr. in Sept. if we haven't gotten PG by then... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-on-my-husband#post-198889 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:05:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 198889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eastcoaster thank you. I'm hoping it's still too early too. We decided to start TTC again like everything is normal. Maybe we'll get lucky. :) How are things going for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-on-my-husband#post-198882 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:02:31 +0000 eastcoaster 198882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I was thinking about you and signed in here because I remember you mentioned June was when you were going back to the dr. Maybe this was just too early and your next appt will have better news, but at least the motility was better! Hang in there, we're still TTC too I just haven't been checking into HB as much this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-on-my-husband#post-194982 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:20:03 +0000 Crisark 194982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little good news is nice! Sorry you are still playing the waiting game!<br /> Hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-on-my-husband#post-194974 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:09:00 +0000 sslm 194974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good news about the motility!! Sorry the rest was so frustrating. And 3 months does feel like forever but the summer always goes fast so the wait will be over before you know it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-on-my-husband#post-194844 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:27:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 194844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday my husband and I went to the urologist for a follow up to the varicocele surgery he had on March 1st. Dr. L was surprised to see us back already. He said he likes to start analyzing semen after a four month minimum. My husband and I were surprised to hear that because his office is the one who scheduled out appointment. They checked his scars, which looked good, and then I stepped out so he could provide a sample. Dr. L decide to throw it out and not charge us because we had not abstained from sex the same amount of days as we did before my husband gave his pre op sample. Oops. But before they threw it out the lab tech looked at it and said the density and count is still low, but motility has increased from 30-50%. Dr. L then told us that motility is typically the first thing to improve. My husband has another appointment on July 23 to have another analysis done, and probably another one at the end of September.</p> <p>This is what I took away from the appointment:<br /> - it's still too early for an answer<br /> - by the September appointment either I will already be pregnant, my husband's SA will have improved enough for Dr. L to tell us to try naturally for a few months, or Dr. L will have us start IUI.</p> <p>I'm frustrated only because I'm tired of waiting and 3 months seems like a long time. I know it isn't though. And we have a lot of fun things planned this summer that the time should go by fast. Hopefully. :) </p>
