Infertility

Didn't go as well as I'd hoped

So we had our follow up with the RE today. DH gave another sample and somehow we are back to 4. Although we have 6 vials of sperm vitirified from the last sample, our RE wasn't very encouraging. He wants a lot more. I am feeling like maybe we are just bleeding DH's system and getting out the air bubbles? I don't know what is going on but it is weird!

Plan is to keep testing at home. If we see another spike we will go in and try to get more frozen. For now it looks like we will cycle in mid-late October or early November unless for some reason we need to hold off longer for some reason. 

I will probably start BCPs at the beginning of next cycle so that I can be ready to jump on that train as soon as possible.
