I would like to be added to this.

Diagnosis- on 12/17/12 no sperm found, urologist confirmed on 12/21/12 no blockages, and no sperm have ever been produced.

Our plan right now is I have my mid-cycle U/S on 1/7 to check my follie growth and uterine lining, and to also make sure my uterine firbroid is not blocking the egg, if all goes well, DH and I will decide if we will use DS with IUI my next cycle in february.

Thank you! 


BFP #1 3/27/07-M/C 8weeks 5/3/07 "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away." IUI #1+trigger=BFP!!! 3/20/13 - u/s baby exactly 8 weeks w/heart rate of 179!! 4/23/13- heard heart beat on the doppler at the doctors, heart rate 160!!!

Yes, low everything although I can't remember numbers.  He's supposed to have another SA next week, and the RE has had him taking ProXeed. That stuff is expensive! I suggested asking the RE about FertilityBlend, but he wants to stick with what the RE recommends.

His count was 7 million postwash for our IUI.  They didn't tell me the mobility, but I was so overwhelmed I forgot to ask.

Tomorrow is testing day for my first IUI, but I'm pretty sure it's a bust.  They want me to POAS first, and then if its positive I'd go in for b/w.  I've still been charting and my temp dropped this morning.

I was really hoping this was it.

Update: 13dpIUI, beta on Thursday. We got some good information for our IVF cycle, so even though it's going to be a BFN, it's not a complete loss? We have a follow-up with the urologist in 2 weeks, but we're trying to reschedule it so that we can both go, since I start a new position at work that same day. Depending on the results from th is new urologist, we may push the IVF to later in the spring?

I can't wait for a better year than last. Not just because of IF, but life in general. I hope 2013 brings good news for everyone!


My Ovulation Chart
TTC with MFI and poor ovulation since 03/11
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
Met with new urologist 11/12
IUI #1 12/12: Letrozole + Gonal-F = BFN
DH started Clomid 01/13
New SA shows 33 million sperm! Thank you Clomid!!!
Discovered I am hypothyroid 04/13 waiting for specialist appointment
Hoping to try IUI again in July?

Apparently my thyroid levels are higher than our RE likes- I'm at 3.8, he likes to see 2.5.  So I have to meet with my PCP and get on medication to lower it before we can start IVF.  I don't think we're going to make Jan/Feb.  Maybe "spring 2013" would be more accurate?

I'm not surprised because thyroid problems run in my family.  But I'm pissed because it can usually be controlled with diet and exercise.  In the last year I started working our regularly, totally changed my diet, and dropped 25 pounds; why is that not enough?!?!


TTC since August 2010
DH diagnosed with Azoospermia in January 2012
Vas reconstruction surgery in April 2012; unsuccessful
IVF with ICSI February 2013; single blastocyst 5dt
First beta March 1 is 147!!!
