IUI #1 - Fail.

in Trouble TTC

I don't usually do this, but I am so disappointed with today's IUI attempt, I just need to vent.   

I went in today for what was supposed to be IUI #1.  Upon arrival, I was told that MH's sperm count today was only 5 million, with 17% motility.  This is compared to his previous results, which also showed low motility (26%), but with a count of 130 million.  In the end, we only had 750,000 motile sperm today.  :(

 

The worst part though was that they couldn't even get the catheter past my cervix.  :(. My cervix is off to the side, and oddly curved.  I knew that from my SHG (and was told that it is not a problem).  Today though, they couldn't even get the catheter through, despite trying for more than 30 minutes.  It was extremely painful for me, and I bled heavily after.  :(.

 In the end result, a mere 750,000 sperm were deposited outside my cervix.

I have no idea what happened to MH's sperm.  And I am pretty concerned about the whole "we can't get past your cervix" thing.  They will try again tomorrow, but I am not overly optimistic right now.

Vent over.

    I'm so sorry. That sounds painful and incredibly frustrating. Hopefully they will have better luck tomorrow - can you take some Tylenol before you go?

    I'm also interested to see if they say anything else about your cervix being off to one side. I was told this as well during my HSG and was also told it didn't matter, but I can't help but wonder.....

    GL tomorrow and I hope you can take it easy the rest of today.

    :( Here's hoping his numbers were a fluke and they will be back up tomorrow. I had the same problem with them finding my cervix as well. Seemed like it took FOREVER for them to find it.

    Thanks ladies.  And thank you Alb for the advice re Tylenol, I will try that tomorrow and see if it helps.  I am bummed, but onward and (hopefully) upward I guess.  :)
