Update - we have swimmers!

in Trouble TTC
Thank you to everyone's well wishes after my last post. The sperm mapping procedure was successful; we found sperm! Albeit there was only, on average, 5-6 sperm per area aspirated, but the FS says that's all we need. We have our first IVF appointment next week. I don't even know where to start (what to ask, how to prepare...), so my plan is to take things one appointment at a time. I will have to make a reminder on my phone, though, so I can remember to check in with all if you IVFers and so I can share in your progress :) so excited!

5/14 Sperm Mapping - DH gets hematoma as a result, gotta wait 3 months
6/5 we have swimmers! - DH on clomid; still anovul on my side (me to DH: wanna share Clomid?)
6/19 First IVF Appt!

    ~*~*~ ALL ARE WELCOME & GREATLY APPRECIATED~*~*~

    TTC since October 2012

    Went to OBGYN in August 2013-Referred us to UCONN RE in September 2013

    Me (31):  Blood / Ultrasound / HSG / SIS- All Great  -  DH (32): SA is very low

    DH met with Urologist nothing is "wrong" just very low count and low mobility

    RE 1st Consult October 31, 2013 - Male Infertility Dx.

    RE Appointment on 1/15/14-Decided on 1st IUI

    IUI Cycle #1-Clomid 50mg 2/14-BFN

    We decided to take a break for 3/14-4/14

    IUI Cycle #2-Clomid 50 mg 5/9-BFN

    IUI Cycle #3-(RE Office called us in for a back to back IUI for another SA) 5/12-BFN

    *Husband's count is still very low post wash however after 4+ months on supplements, vitamins, and a healthy lifestyle (aka no beer)  his mobility has doubled! I am very happy for him, small victories!

    May 2014-RE wants us to progress to IVF as 3 failed IUI's.

    IVF Seminar meeting on 6/12 & then meeting with RE on 7/9 to come up with our plan for our miracle baby!

    @amazing817 good luck on your appointment! And thanks for the advice @iPutKetchupOnKetchup‌ I'm thinking I will check out some other boards for ideas. It's almost like, because it's such a new process, I don't even know what information I'm missing. I have a feeling I will become a list (phone call, email...) patient, with the more information I am given :)
