Infertility

~~~*** MFI CHECK-IN~~***

I stole this from the old check in.... 
This group is for those of us dealing with male factor issues. We welcome everyone but mostly we are dealing with low count, motility, morphology or all three. Male infertility is a mysterious world filled with questions no one, including REs, urologists, acupuncturists or anyone else seem to have the answers to. Any treatment suggested is a coin toss for success and a 3 month wait for a fresh batch of swimmers. Most of us are told the only answer is IUI or IVF w/ICSI. The purpose of this group is to support each other through shared experiences and to share any info we can because the more informed we are the better. We have a check in every Sunday. Welcome and GL and PPVs to all! 
 
♥HUGS TO ALL THAT NEED THEM!!♥

  • @IFinTN I hope your puppy feels better soon!

    @firesiren Good luck tomorrow!

    @cls78 Good luck with IUI tomorrow!


    No news here, we have our meeting with URO on Wednesday. I am excited/nervous about it. Really looking forward to having more answers.

    QOTW: I did go! For the first time, my mom and I went out at midnight, it was fun. I run a daycare, so I got all the kids presents taken care of, Walmart had lots of board games and puzzles marked down to $3. I got H some stuff from The Gap, everything was 50% (I picked up some stuff for me too).

     No news from us either. Just waiting for our appt w CCRM. QOTW: we spent our Black Friday shopping money on our dog:( emergency vet visit at 3:30am Friday morning when he woke us up screeching in pain. Poor guy either broke or pulled his tail in his crate-no idea how. He was doped up pretty good and now seems better. So hopefully not broken!!
    OH My Gosh!!!!  I hope he gets to feeling better.   We are dog lovers here and it hurts you when your pup is in pain.

    Can I join this? We are MFI (extremely low count/motile and poor morph) gearing up for our first IVF w/ ICSI in January...providing they don't find anything unexpected with my labs and hysterscope on Friday *fingers crossed*

    and QOTW: Yes, but it was just grocery shopping at Walmart later in the morning (after the hoards trying to score cheap TVs had disbanded). It was actually pretty quiet. Almost all my Christmas shopping gets done on Amazon (thank you Prime!).
