I've probably just learnt life's greatest lesson... you never know what's around the corner! After mixed messages from doctors, FSs and nurses, and a ****tail of conflicting results it now turns out the DH has a sperm or two that appear to be useable! God bless the FS who hunted high and low until he exhausted all avenues. It's been a very weird few weeks, from being at the absolute bottom of a dark and hopeless place, to trying to process what our reality appeared to be and make some positive headway along the donor path, to doing a complete U-turn and finding out we are still in with a chance. We had a counselling appointment last week which was sorely needed. I know I should be really happy, and I'm sure I will be as soon as I can get my head around all the events of the past 4 months. It's all taken a bigger toll than I realised, and i'm just a bit numb... whereas DH is floating on clouds!

So, a very long way to go but I start my first IVF-ICSI cycle as soon as AF arrives... and I can't wait.

Anyway, I'm still going to hang around this thread for a bit although for now it looks like we don't need to use a donor, I just feel connected to you all, your support has been (and I'm sure still will be) incredible and I want to follow your amazing journeys. Though I'm sure I'll see you in other LTAC threads too.

Blizz - is there anything you're doing that's NOT intended to bring on early labour????

Gargy - how's your week been - hope it hasn't been as full-on as last week and you're closer to 'the light at the end of the tunnel'.
