More obstacles!

in Third-Party Reproduction

So after my endo biopsy revealed endometritis, I'm on a second round of antibiotics.  I was still hoping to stay on the course of beginning meds on April 9th.

Now, the nurse just emailed me and said my husband's semen analysis came back with zero normal sperm. This is really puzzling as we have a 2 year old biological son and I have been pregnant 4 times, twice last year where we saw the heartbeat. Now I don't know what to do. I asked her if we can re-do the analysis.

We are doing frozen DE and one of the comforting aspects of the program is that there is a 2 high-quality embryo guarantee.  If you fail to get 2 HQE, you cycle again for free.  We are being asked to sign a waiver of the guarantee.  

Furthermore, if there are no normal sperm, wouldn't that mean donor sperm? That never came up in the email.

OMG, this process is seriously climbing one mountain at a time.

    Hoping that you can repeat the SA and everything turns out normal.  Did YH produce at home?  Maybe specimen was too old or wasn't warm enough.  Hope that this is just a temporary setback and you will be able to move forward with your planne

    She sent you an email saying your husband's sperm had no normal sperm and she didn't offer any options or next steps?  Honestly - that's a phone call kind of thing anyway. I'm so sorry.  I would be really upset at being treated that way, not

    Sorry to hear about all of these setbacks - That sucks!  But I definitely would not sign that waiver..WTF, are they trying to make you sign a waiver because of one bad sample?

    As others have said, who knows what really cause

    Me: AMA, DOR, undetectable AMH, carrier of SMA, MTHFR homozygous C677T, high cytokines, low IGg B cells, Factor XIII V34l mutation, High Anti-Phosphatidylethanolmine, borderline hypothyroid and mildly insulin resistant.

     

    MH: No known issues, aside from MTHFR.

     

    Recommendations from RI: LIT, Humira, IVIG, Lovenox, Baby Aspirin, Folic Acid, Low-dose synthroid and Metformin.

     

    Currently taking:  Pre-Natal vitamins, Foltanx, Low-dose synthroid and Metformin. 

     

    When cycling also taking: Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, Humira and IVIG.

     

    TTC since 7/11/09..with medical intervention starting in 2010, including 4 failed IVF's and 6 failed IUI's...only "success" was a chemical pregnancy in 11/2012 (credited to use of DE).

    FET #1 (11th cycle) on 8/23/13 = BFN.

    FET #2 (12th cycle) Transfer of last two (day 6) donor egg blasts on 1/22/14 = BFP, EDD = 10/10/14 (please stick little BOY!)
