Intro

Hi everyone!

II'm new to this board, and currently awaiting the results of an IUI cycle, we inseminated on 11/4 and take a home pregnancy test on 11/18. 

A little about me and my family:

We started our IF journey when we were living in Boston in January 2012.  My husband has a vericocele as a result from hernia operation for an undecencded testicle as a child.  As a result, his sperm count is very low.  We originally went to an IF clinic in Boston and they steered us towards IVF with ICSI.  In February 2012 we got news that my husband was being transferred to Arizona for work, so we put the breaks on our IF jouney until we moved.  Fast forward to November 2012, new clinic in AZ.  They took the information that the Boston clinic gave them and we went through with IVF with ICSI - 13 eggs from me, 6 embryos.  Implanted 2 on day 2, the other 4 were not viable.  BFN . 

Our IF doctor said that DHs sperm counts were so much better the day of the IVF, that we might want to give IUI a try.  We did in December 2012 and on the first try we were very lucky to get a BFP!  Andrew was born September 3, 2013.

Now we're ready to add to our family and, as I said, had our insemination on 11/4.  DH's sperm count was low, only 2.3 M post wash.  He actually gave two samples that they combined.  I'm cautioulsy optimistic becuase I know IUI rarely works the first time, like it did for us with A. 

But honestly, the worst part is the waiting!  It's been a week and I still have a week to go before I take that pregnancy test and I'm going insane! 

Good luck to everyone! 

Deb

    Welcome, hope this round is a success. Not sure if you're new to the bump or not but it's usually not in good form to intro during your 2WW.
