TTC After a Loss

In tears...

I had my appointment today for my baseline ultrasound for IUI.  After the ultrasound, the doctor wanted to discuss DH's SA results with me.  His morphology was only 2%.  The doctor said that this means that IVF is probably going to be our best option...with IUI we're looking at about at 10% chance each time and on our own, our chances are less than 10% a year.  This is so unfair - we are already dealing with the loss of our child and now there is a chance that we might not be able to even have another.  FML.

  • Big big ::hugs:: I'm so sorry carolee!
  • I am so sorry...we have severe MFI issues but my DH has low count and low motility too and IUI did not work for us.  I didn't have a loss before we found out about it, our loss was after but some days I do think how unfair it is to have to deal with IF issues and now have a loss too.

    I am very sorry.  I do know some ladies on PAIF who are PG from IUIs when their DHs only issue was morph.  Morph can vary greatly for sample to sample so try to not give up hope.  ((hugs))

    Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled.  However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15!  Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!

    Surprise!  Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due.  Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!

  • I'm so sorry ::hugs::
  • Aw hun - I am sorry.  My DH's morph came back pretty bad the last time too.  We were already pursuing IVF though b/c of me having 3 losses and probable egg quality issues.  I know it is hard to face.  I know I never thought I would. 

    There are ladies on here that are going through the same thing.  And TTTC and IF are great boards as well. 

    I know this is hard to face, but you can have success - there are lots of MFI cases  that do.  (((hugs)))
