Secondary IF

The results are in

DH's count this time was 5 million.  It is better than a total of 28, but still not good.  Since the count went up from last time, we will do another test next month to see how it is doing then.  We are going to start using fertle life for DH to see if that helps him.  I am bummed because I wanted it to either be super low (like the 28 from last time) or at least what it was before the surgery, 11 million, so that we could easily make a decision about adopting or continuing to try.  Right now, we still have to wait to make a final decision.  Ugh.

Re: The results are in

  • More limbo!!

    I'm so, so sorry! I know how much sometimes you even want to hear the worst to help you move on, even when you are hoping for the best.  

    You didn't ask, but I say start the adoption process, because I know it's in your heart, but don't give up for yourselves, either. Adoption can take a long time, even just getting you home study done, while costing $, might make you relax a little, like you are doing something proactive.

    I'm so, so sorry! 

    I'll see your Ugh and raise you one!

  • Thanks, Jen!  I am trying to ease DH towards adoption more and more.  He is fine with adoption, but I think he wants to totally exhaust our efforts to do this on our own first.  I asked him today if we could just go to an information meeting and he said yes.  I guess we will start there and see how far he will allow me to take it.  We also go back to see his doctor next Thursday so we will hopefully find out what the doctor is thinking.

    Ditto the PPers, I'm sorry that you wait in limbo still.  It's exhausting.  I'm glad for you that DH is open to adoption - one of my favorite blogs is written by a woman who had 2IF... she adopted a second DD, then got PG naturally with twins a few months later.  I love stories like this - may all good things come your way Jen!

  • Sorry you are still in limbo.  We are kind of stuck there too.  I am leaning more toward adoption, but DH isn't so sure about it.  I wish you good luck in whichever route you decide to take!

  • Thank you all so much!  Lillinzlou, what kind of supplements did you use?  Do you think it makes a difference which brand you go with?  I thought that I had heard really good things about fertle life, but now that I have ordered it I can't remember if I had heard about fertile life or fertlaid. 

    Jenna, I am kind of afraid of moving forward with adoption and then getting pregnant.  We are going to do fundraising if we adopt so I feel like I would feel that I stole people's money if we then got pregnant on our own.  We might still move forward with adoption anyway, but I would be worried that people who helped us would feel like we really didn't need their help or something.
