DH wins the award this week. We are pretty sure MFI is contributing to our issues, yet he seems to think that since he takes the vitamins he doesn't have to do any of the other stuff I've requested. He will try something, like cutting out drinking beer for one month but if it doesn't work he's back to his old routine.
@annibes how bad is mfi? Fertility aid for men gat us a couple extra million and dramatically increase morphology and motility as well! He took for about 3 months before retrieval.
Side eying- all the period. Not good enough to get bfn but all the blood for a week w insane cramps really drives home the no baby message. Thanks ute!
January 2007- Stop BCP! Let's DO this! June 2010- MFI. BS. IVF! Ectopic. BS.
November 2010- FAILED FET! BS! January 2011- BFP FET! TWINS! February 2011- lost twin. BS.
SEPTEMBER 2011- DD Born! Most awesome girl in the world! November 2013- FAILED FET! BS! (screw you November FETs) April Fresh Cycle, FAILED. Frozen embryos frozen for future FETs. FROZEN CYCLE JUNE! BFP BABY BOYVINCENT!

Ouch on the period- it really is nature's way of saying "Eff you!"
He was low-range of normal for everything except morpho at the last SA. Morph was at 3.5% average. I have him on vitamins and antioxidants- most of the stuff in FertilAid plus vitamin D. We're probably due for a repeat SA. I just hope the bilateral varicocele doesn't make it worse!
@annibes- ok, so low range would be IVF with ICSI or is that still IUI range? Glad he is already on the good stuff lol. Also glad doing repeat SA! Hopefully with a better result and put you in a better postion to proceed!

The RE, of course, thinks the ICSI route would be our most sure bet, but said that IUI wouldn't be a waste. We are mentally and financially not ready to do anything beyond IUI right now. Any forward progress hinges on the results of DS's genetic testing. I'm anxious to get that back in the next few weeks! It could mean more testing for DH and me, or if it's negative then we can talk about moving forward.
I should fix my words. Re-reading, it looks backwards. Everything was in normal range except morph, which out of multiple slides averaged 3.5%. But the normal stuff was all just above the low end of the reference range. Oh and viscosity was high. Count 33 million, mot 57%.

Yes! That makes all the difference

I'm side-eyeing this dang weather. It's been beautiful all week, then last night it dropped 25* and poured down rain. Wth! This weather triggers migraines! Stupid global climate change and Al Gore who won the Nobel prize for making a slide-show about it. I am going to the zoo today and I want to feel good while I'm there!

I'm side eyeing DH for being OOT during the 2ww AGAIN! Seriously, hormones, nerves, AND dealing with a toddler by myself? Just not fair. I'm also side eyeing my local BFF for being OOT too this weekend. I'm lonely damn it!

Ugh, that sucks! I know DH has to earn a living and it's his job and all but it pisses me off EVERY TIME. At least he's not out of town for ovulation time. Sorry, hugs and good luck to you.
I'm side eying injuring myself while sleep walking early this morning!
I'm sorry sweetie, and I need details.

Side eye to stores that won't hold stuff, when you're on your way to purchase the item and also don't want to take a credit card over the phone so you can pay for it, then pick it up.
Side eye to where my DH got my engagement ring for telling us we'd have to pay for repairs, cause the entire setting is bending and tilting, for reasons completely unknown to us. And it's 18 months old.
Side eye to this traffic in LA, on a Sunday.

I'm sorry sweetie, and I need details.
Apparently early Sunday morning, I tried to attack our bathroom as I was sleeping and I fell hard. Hard enough to wake the beast, I mean DH, haha! I'm glad he heard it because I don't remember a thing but I was shaken up and sore when he woke me up. Like aggravating my car wreck sore, blah....I do this about once a year. Last year, I attacked the exercise machine....I guess I'm a sleepwalking ninja!
