No sperm :(

Blood test on Thurs then transfer the following Tues all going well. Hmmm think it must be because my periods were a bit irregular last year. Have been really good since I've known I'm not going to get pregnant for the last 6 months though. Amazing what the mind can do...

Have you got dates yet?

Sounds like it will be a couple of days after mine then. Definitely the lucky embie :)

Hugs baby crazy, I've just come back from holiday and was thinking about you. So sorry to hear how it ended but great you have another transfer lined up.

Yay for wedding planning Jacq! It is so much fun planning, we recently celebrated our one year anniversary so I def remember the excitement well!

Welcome Sunshine/Hannah, I have found it wonderful to chat to people in a similar situation. Sounds like it has been a scary ride for you and your man! They put the C word on the table for us too but luckily didn't find anything. Exciting for your upcoming transfer! And how awesome you got so many wee embies.

Nothing new to report here, haven't heard from FA, I'm thinking I might just give them a call and have a private consult. There is so much I'm dying to know about donor sperm and I'm making myself a bit crazy thinking about it. DH needing a bit of follow up for a few medical issues we have found along the way so at. The very least it's great we found that out as we wouldn't have known otherwise.

Hope you are all staying warm!

Exciting baby crazy! All the best!

Just had a thought bat. If you end up going down the donor path the wait is shorter - just have to wait to get to top of donor list which for us was about 6mths from getting on list to starting treatment.

I also paid for my first appt was keen to get the ball rolling and cause we paid we were in the next week. I haven't had to go down the donor path yet but I can imagine at first it would be hard to get your head around!! But bat welcome back!! Hope you had a much needed break.

We have two children under 12 in the house so I think that prevents it but haven't had that confirmed by someone who actually knows.
Aw baby crazy it reassures me so much knowing that you guys are going through this too and it's okay. I'll admit I've had some horrible thoughts and it has really made me reassess our relationship. I haven't admitted any of my thoughts to DH as it would break his heart. I think we will be fine whatever happens but it has been a hard thing to get my head around and it's not like there are so many people around who truly understand either.

Bat- a client I have had two children at home but because there was a known cause an they hadn't had children together they got funding it might not be the same outcome for you but food for thought 😊

I always find nothing is clear online. Even on FA's website I can never find clear answers. We have decided to pay for a cycle and it's so amazing how things are moving so quickly compared to a publicly funded cycle. So fingers crossed I will be a pregnant bride 😊

So exciting- except after last time I'm going in with eyes wide open. But they are going another retrieval on my hubby to get new sperm they think where they took them from last time they could have been sitting there awhile and a bit past there use by date hence the embies not hatching. So this time they are going deeper for fresh lil swimmers. He's a bit gutted having to do it again but all for the greater good and I go through worse so meh 😉 but all set for a June period as I have to much on in May to want to worry about anything but fingers crossed second time lucky and goodbye savings.
