Final Semen Analysis

DH's doctor allowed up to move up his final semen analysis since he has made it past the 72 day mark and he's really ready to stop Clomid. We have scheduled his test for tomorrow, so we should get the results back on Friday. I'm super nervous, just because I'm really hoping there's either 0 sperm or a lot of sperm. I don't want there to just be one or two again because we won't be able to move on as easy. But I will most likely just update this post with the results once received.

Well that's a shock..

My DH decided last night to drop a complete surprise bomb on me and tell me he is now considering donor sperm IUI as our next option instead of embryo adoption. Previously he was COMPLETELY against donor sperm or several reasons. I was okay with skipping this option if that was what he wanted and I threw myself completely into the embryo adoption route. But now, I don't know what to do. He told me to start looking for possible donors and to see how much everything would cost. Obviously dIUI is cheaper, but it could take several rounds to work. I just really don't know what to do. I want to do the right thing for our family, not just what is the cheapest and easiest thing.

Fertility Doctor Consult #2

We had our consult with the local RE today. He was very nice and helpful. We did a 3D ultrasound and he discovered that I actually do NOT have a bicornuate uterus. Instead I have a septate uterus which can be fixed surgically. We have schedule my surgery for November 16th. He also thinks I most likely have some stage of endometriosis, so he will be doing laparoscopy surgery on the same day to correct that if that is the case. I'm not looking forward to the surgery, but once all this is fixed I'll be like a "normal" person, and I should be able to carry full term and avoid a csection hopefully.


He also added me to their waiting list for embryo adoption, but I still plan on using the clinic in Florida.

2nd Blood Work Results Are In

So today we received the results for DH's 6 week follow up blood work since starting Clomid. It was not very good. He previously had normal LH and FSH levels and borderline Testosterone (251). His levels now are extremely high FSH (21.3) and LH (30.7) with normal but still slightly low for his age Testosterone (437). I'll be sending these results to his urologist for his opinion. This doesn't give us much hope that his third and final semen analysis next month will be good...
