Hi ladies! We officially got approved for IVF-ICSI today so I think it's time to intro over here. Back story, we've been TTC since July 2013. DH initial SA was within normal limits, but on the low side of normal. Once we started IUI, his post wash numbers were horrible (400,000 and <100,000). He went to a urologist and his most recent SA was only 1.9 million/ml (he only had about 1 ml) with 0% morph and 50% motility. His endocrine labs came back normal. So our diagnosis is severe MFI.
I'm excited to get this IVF cycle going but I'm on CD 23 with no signs of ovulation in sight. Of course, my body wants to take it's time this cycle. I look forward to getting to know you and learning a lot!
