Oooohhhhhh

I recieved a phone call from our ivf dr today and he asked me to pop in for a chat. so in i went on my own as dh is at work, and he has handed me over papers to get dh checked out for cancer since he has so many white blood cells in his sperm:cry: then i had to BEG the urology to get him seen as there in only one here. he just printed out tests then i had to BEG to get him in for scans with the mater as they are booked up for two months. thabk god there has been a cancelleation for tomorrow so dh is going to drive home (6 hours away) after he finishes work 6.30pm) to be here for his check at 8 am tomorrow morning. all we wanted was a baby and now it has turned into living hell. i am so stressed. i have had a migagrain and i think i may be starting to have a break down. i have noone to talk to and dont know what to do. :doh:

Oh Carla, how scary for you both. Fingers crossed there is some other explanation other than cancer. Good luck for tomorrow :hugs:

Carla,
MY thoughts are with you. This is a scary time and I feel so much for you. There are other explainations other than cancer but I am so so happy that your husband is being seen so soon. Please come back and tell us how he goes tomorrow. There will be so many people sending out positive thoughts to you and your husband. :hug:

Carla,
Just wanting to send you every best wish & prayers for you & your DH tomorrow... I hope that there is some other easy explaination

Hi Carla,

Just had a read and just want to give you a big hug you poor darling. I hope that everything just goes back to some sort of normality for you even if it is a little. If you would like to talk anytime let me know!!!

lots of hugs and love xoxoxox Gina

OMG you poor thing. I hope all is well and can continue to TTC. Good luck with it all!!!

Carla, thinking of you.

Carla, thinking of you and your DH.

Hope everything is ok.

has anyone heard anything yet????

hey guys sorry its been so long. the urologist sent us to get retested and retested and finally after all this time, has given us the all clear last friday. it was such a relief. the dr had said each test had come back different so i dont no what that means. but they said dp just has no sperm and that is that. so i will start looking into doner sperm seriously now. By the sounds of it, i will have to get it from the US, i dont care where it comes from but boy, it doesnt come cheap! do you think i should go through ISCI or IUI?
Again thankyou for your support through all this, i had read your messages but didnt want to answer untill we knew. carla.xxxxx

Carla, just read this thread, what a stressful time you had. I'm so happy for you that your DH has been given the all-clear, although of course it would have been nice to have a more positive result for having a baby, right?! Crossing my fingers for the donor option for you.

awww that is so great....Well I think you should go for it if you really want kids and do ICSI Well that is just what I think.

Good luck.

c ya

Carla, great news about DH, hope all goes well with finding a donor. Does DH have a brother you could ask - just a thought as we are doing the same thing using my DH brother and we had many friends offer their sperm as well just a thought I know not everyone wants to go that way and would rather an unknown donor. Anyway good luck sweetie you will get there and it will happen - POSITIVE THINKING goes along way. Although its hard sometimes to think positive all the time but we are all strong ladies and we are doing this because we all believe that it will happen.

Oh I'm so relieved for your DH!

I hope you are able to find a donor soon and before you know it, will be holding a precious baby :)

I am soooo glad that he is ok. :D I hope you find a donor that you are happy with. There are a few ladies in my clinic that have donor sperm. Do you want me to ask how and where from?:dunno: I can, i suppose there is nothing to lose.

xoxoxo Gina :computer:

Hi Carla,

I'm really glad your DH is ok. That must have been a really scary time for you!

I'd like to also add my voice to the others that have said to make sure you investigate all your options for donors.

We originally went down the unknown Australian donor route in 2006. We changed plans because our clinic didn't have unknown donors available at the time that we were ready. However some do and most have a waiting list. The waiting time is generally 6 - 12 months (at least). You will have to ask the clinic that you are going though.

We had also gone down the known donor route. Unlike Lissie, going with DH's brother didn't work out for us. But we have a very good friend who has offered to donate, and we are going down this path now.

As for going IUI or ICSI, this would really depend on your fertility issues. We tried IUI twice in 2006. My plan at this stage is to try IUI at least once again when the sperm is cleared as ok and then move to IVF/ICSI if this doesn't work.

Good luck with whatever you decide...

thanks guys. well i am going to get my tubes tested to see if all is good to do IUI and that they are not blocked at all. (i had overian cancer just over a year ago) and the test is to be done on day ten BUT i have not had a period for ages. i am 14 days late. i have done 3 pg tests but ng all the time. i know the chances of me falling are so slim that i am not getting my hopes up, just want to know what is going on. i am usually to the day and the fertility dr says the meds i was on, shouldnt have any effect at all since i have already had af since then.
but here is :pray: for a miracle!
Gina that would be great if you could do that. but if i have to go oversea's i will.
The brother thing is not an option. he is a half brother and they hate each other, he doesnt know his real dad and he loves his grandad but he has prostrate so we have no luck with that option :(
i dont come on very often because my password seems to change. when i get a new one sent to me, i wright it down and use it the next time, it says its incorrect so then i have to ask for a new one. etc etc. :wall: lol my computer is so slow i get the poops with it. hehe
