I read that planets article. I guess the thing that kept jumping out at me was that sperm dysfunction can make bad embies. I guess that all goes back to me feeling like we have to just keep going until we get that good embie. We have good fert but we also do ICSI on all. So is it just because the sperm is forced in there doesn't mean the genetics are looking good?

All my tests are completely normal. I have one of those textbook bodies that things either go completely right and textbook or they just don't work. Like I am just not the type to have a fainter line today and go on to have a strong beta and a healthy baby. I guess I just don't work like that. My body is very cut and dry. That makes me feel like its not me and maybe the sperm is making bad embies. Luke must have been a needle in a haystack.

This leads me to want to put 3 back, because come on, my personal stats for having trips would be like 0.05%. But I would rather get one more in that could be "the one." But RE is completely against it because of my age and successful preg with 2 embies. Plus the fact that I had Luke at 35 weeks he doesn't want me to get twins with my hx of preterm. Though I think my preterm could be avoided. I gained a lot and have a heavy lifting job. They think I was started to get preeclampsia. I am 20 lbs lighter now then when I got pregnant with Luke and I learned the hard way to keep my weight down this next time. I would love twins. It would give me my 3 kids and I can say F you to IF forever. OY!

I've too wondered the whole sperm thing. Can't seem to find a doc that will point fingers at him, although the genetics couselor said we need to run a karotype on him, too. (too expensive right now, and it won't change our course of action/treatment, KWIM?) His brother and wife had 2 early m/c (that raised her eyebrows, too) but our losses are NOT indictive of translocation issues, which she said would be the most obvious issue with his sperm/DNA. His sister just got k/u at age 39.9 on their 1st months trying. Healthy baby, doing great. So who knows.

GL... I know this road is hard, and even c/p hurt like a mo'fo... it just seems to hammer the bad thoughts home. ;-(
