MFI Check in?

Would anyone be opposed to starting a new MFI check in??  If not I'll will start one every week.  Just let me know any thoughts or ideas.  I don't want to step on anyone's toes. Thanks!

It was basically a check in for MFI girls.  They would give updates on what was going with them; cycles, testing, anything else and a question of the week.  It's helpful for people just getting started and provide a lot of info.

Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.

Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!

Thanks for starting this up again! I've missed it =(

TCM and progesterone supplements
Early loss in 08/11
MFI Dx in 03/12 Low count, low motility, poor morphology and high levels of anti-sperm antibodies
Treated with supplements and TCM. Much lower on all factors. Count too low to test for anti-bodies

IUI #1 12/12: Letrozole + Gonal-F = BFN
DH started Clomid 01/13
New SA shows 33 million sperm! Thank you Clomid!!!
