I am just starting my second round of IVF at CRM in Minneapolis. I had my SIS, and trial transfer today. Will be starting Lupron on April 16th, Stims will be April 23rd.
My TTC history:
December 2011: After TTC since 01/11, we were diagnosed with severe MFI. DH is low on all counts. Sent off to a Urologist specializing in MFI
May 2012: DH diagnosed with Bi-lateral varicocele, all other hormone tests are normal. Thinking this may be our issue....and hopefully a fix!!! Varicocele repair scheduled.
August 2012: Varicocele repair has done nothing for sperm count/volume/etc. MFI is now unknown. Recommended we go straight to IVF-IUI was never an option given to us
Feb 2014: IVF/ICSI #1. 14 eggs retreived, 4 embryos, lost 2, transfer 2, day 3 embryos. Nothing left to freeze. BFN
Doc recommended we move on to donor sperm as our embryos were of very poor quality, and he stated its a sperm issue. Took a break. During this time, we found out we could try a micro-tese where they can go in to the testes to try and retrieve healthy sperm. We decide to try this option one last time.
April 2015: currently on BCP. Looking at a retrieval and micro tese surgery for DH May 1-4.
