@Crisark: @sslm: @Dash: @GreenThumb: @Alivoo01:
Ok, I got my results from my doctor's nurse. DH's SA was normal for everything except morphology. Morphology came out to be abnormal. The doctor recommended that we try another SA in about a month to see if it improves. She also suggested contacting the Fertility center and seeing what they suggest. Well, I set up an appointment at the end of the month. They are all booked next week, but she said I could call next week to see if there are any cancellations. So yeah, I guess I'll BD as usual until we see the doc. Let's hope there's a cancellation and we can be seen sometime next week.

@bluestriped bee: I'm sorry to hear about the results, but I'm glad that you heard back today and hopefully the morphology will improve with a follow-up SA.
That was the case, too, with my DH - everything normal/great other than morphology (he's already had his second SA, a little better, but really not good). We were told the following could help: add a multivitamin, reduce/stop caffeine, stop smoking (DH already doesn't smoke), eat well, exercise regularly. In addition, my acupuncturist suggested specifically adding zinc (on top of the multi-vitamin) and a ginseng supplement. Did they give any advice to improve things for him?
We were also referred to a fertility specialist (after trying for 8-9 cycles with no luck) who advised that with the low morphology and my issues (a possible blocked right tube) that IVF with ICSI (where they inject the sperm in to the egg) would be our best bet. The trouble with morphology is that the abnormally shaped sperm have a difficult/impossible time fertilizing the egg.
Sorry for the book... but I really do hope that the next SA is better for you guys!!! And I wish you all the best with getting your appointment asap! *hugs*
-
@bluestriped bee: I'm glad most things looks good, but sorry there's an issue
I really hope you're able to find ways to improve that slightly. I'm really pulling for your BFP!!!!!Is anyone testing today? I thought about it but I'm only 9 dpo so I'm going to hold off a bit longer. Actually hoping to make it to Friday, when AF should be here.
-
@bluestriped bee: Sorry to hear this. Good luck with getting your appointment as soon as possible. Every bit of information is one step closer to the positive outcome you want.
-
Well, this is a mother's day weekend for the lore in our family. I tested this morning. BIG FAT POSITIVE!
I can't even believe it. We are both kind of stunned in a smiley contented sort of way!

@bluestriped bee: oh I'm sorry there was an issue with morphology. I am sure however that you can get to the bottom of this once you get your appt. with the fertility specialists.
@Jumpingjacks: OMG best mother's day present EVER !!!
I am at 9 dpo and got a BFN. Not even a hint of a line. Nothin'. GAHHH. I have one more dollar tree test that I'll use tomorrow. I think I'm out though. AF is due any day now, through Thursday (which will be CD27). I hope she stays away!

So yesterday at 10 dpo I tested and it was a bfn, or a bfel. Big fat evaporation line. Ugh. Feels like such a waste of a test! Will be waiting until Friday now. We'll be in NYC for our anniversary and AF will be late by then.
Anyone else left?

I tested on 9,10, 11, and 12 DPO and got BFN. Completely discouraged, I've stopped testing. AF is due this Wednesday so I'll report back then. Trying to stay positive, but it's so hard!
-
@Alivoo01: just wanted to say again that when I got pregnant I got a stark white bfn at 12 dpo and a BFP at 14 or 15 dpo so you are most definitely not out!!!!
-
@Alivoo01: It isn't over till AF shows!

@Smurfette: Thanks for the words of encouragement!
@sslm: Thanks for sharing your experience. It's giving me hope that just maybe I still might have a fighting chance!!

Ok so I don't know if it's a muscle thing from playing flag football yesterday or what, but my boobs are really sore today. I'm trying not to read too much into it!
-
@Pipers Mommy: congrats!!
-
@GreenThumb: Thanks so much for your suggestions. I haven't talked to anyone about what things my DH can do to improve his numbers. I hope we get seen this week so we can start.
@Jumpingjacks: What a great Mother's Day gift! Congrats!
@eastcoaster: Sorry, you're out.
@Pipers Mommy: Wow, I think that's 7 BFP for this thread! Congrats!!
-
I tested this morning and it was a bfn. Stark white. Testing again on Thursday!

@sslm: Good luck!!
-
@sslm: sore boobs was my main symptom... good luck with your next test.
I really hope you're able to find ways to improve that slightly. I'm really pulling for your BFP!!!!!
