Today is bittersweet :/

in Trouble TTC

Today marks 1 year since I had my first BFP....and I sit here today still with no baby in my arms.  So many things are going through my head.  This is so mind consuming..... :(

 

On a side note...I was told my husbands 5% morp may be an issue....Can I get some insight?? My RE didnt say one way or another by my OB thinks it may be an issue??

Luv you all! Have a great weekend--happy friday--and thanks for my vent sess!

    My DH has 9 morph which is lower than the RE would like to see. But he says as long as his other numbers are high which they are he doesn't think it will be an issue. Are your DH's other numbers good? sorry if it says in your sig, I'm mobile bumping so i can't see it.

    Yep, that one year mark with no baby is hard.  ((hugs)) I hit that a few months ago.  Stay strong and know you're doing what you can to get that next BFP!

    For morph, the percentage is not really set.  It can depend on how the counting was done.  Strict Krueger method, above 4% is fine, for other methods, sometimes they want a higher %.  My DH was right at 4%, and my RE said it is not a problem (which is true, we had 90% fertilization rate with IVF!).  Below is what I copied from the "new to TTTC" link at the top of the page:

    The World Health Organization (WHO)?s 2009 report considers the follow results ?normal?: 
    Volume: 1.5ml or more
    Concentration: 15 million or more (per ml) 
    Motility: 40% or higher
    Morphology: 4% or higher* (this depends on the method they use. 15% or more used to be ?normal? but that has been updated in the new report.

    Here is the link to the WHO report for more detailed information: 

    https://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/infertility/cooper_et_al_hru.pdf 

    Good luck! 

    TTC #1 7/10, Me (31)- Dx DOR (AMH 0.6); DH (30)- normal
    BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
    IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
    IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!

    My DH has 2% morph too.  Neither RE or uro seemed too concerned considering his other numbers - both said they had seen success with worse.

     HUGS on the year mark - that is hard stuff!

    TTC #1 Since 7/2011

    Me: 30, PCOS with anovulation
    DH: 38, Low Morph & DE

    Here is an extra big *HUG* for you today. Take care.
    TTC from May 2011 to Jan 2013. Due 9/11/13

    My husband's morph was low enough (7%) that the RE 'prescribed' a multivitamin, fish oil, and CoQ10. He said that he'd like to see it at 11% or more but that we shouldn't be very concerned unless his morph was around 2%. His other levels are normal. 

     I haven't had  BFP yet. We've been TTC for nearly 1.5 years and I was diagnosed in September with PCOS. I'm on Metformin daily, Provera to induce my cycle and Clomid to stimulate ovulation.

     Some days, I want to do nothing but cry. Other days, I'm hopeful. But no matter how I'm feeling that day, I'm always, always dreaming about our baby. Their out their somewhere. *Hugs* 

    *~*Always praying for our baby*~* TTC since 7/2011; 8/2011-10/2011: Prometrium + Clomid (and a horrible OBGYN)-All BFNs obviously; Diagnosed with PCOS 9/2012; Current treatment: Metformin & Clomid (+Provera, if needed to induce AF) Clomid Round #4: BFN (LP defect?) Clomid Round #5: Stay tuned...
