No Sperm......
My partner and I have been ttc for 16 months now. He went for a SA and within 2 days had a phone call from thr dr to say they found no sperm, not 1, in his semen. He has to go again in April to see if there is any change or if they made a mistake. Has anyone been through this or similar? Really need some help on this

Stillfuntryin: I'm sure the doctors can explain it all to you. I read once that most doctors don't recommend BBT charting because its not always reliable. I could see the way you sleep making a big difference. I found it a lot easier to just use OPKs with the smiley lol! You can get them pretty decent priced on eBay and amazon lol!
Northernbabydream: did AF show up? Did you test again?
Afm: all the meds must still be in my system from last cycle as I am getting all the hot flashes and headaches associated with clomid. Ugh! I'm still bleeding too which is weird since my periods usually last 5 days And today is 9. It's mostly spotting the last couple days but today was heavy enough to have to change my liner. I wonder if it has to do with the extra follies from last cycle.
On another note I found out today that for my brother in law to have his reversal it will cost 2500 (the price of another cycle of injectables) my Dh has been working so I haven't been able to talk it over with him but might end up scratching next cycle out and moving forward with the BIL. In the end we would save a lot of money as we wouldn't have to buy sperm and I would go back and do a couple natural cycles since we would have the fresh stuff. I don't know my parents think its weird to use him. But like I told my mom if I needed eggs wouldn't her or my sisters help me? Why does sperm make it so much weirder then eggs? It shouldn't and I want to be a mom and I'm to the point of just wanting it to work. My BIL and SIL really want to help too! What do you guys think? Good or bad idea?

awsome idea i think!!!! Are you going to try ICI first? I know why people think its weird, when you think of a mens sperm its all about BDing and no-one thinks of it in a non-sexual way so they might think it's like hooking up with his brother (sounds stupid but thats the only thing i could think of that would turn people off doing it) I wonder if vaginaly doing my temp would be diff....? I should research that! I had such strong O pains this cycle and every thing was right except my temp, so i will show the specialist but i dont want to pay a $170 fee for having someone look at my BBT chart you know.....I have even looked at other peoples anovulatory bbt charts and they still dont look like mine, so confussed

Stillfuntrying: I brought it up to my Dh when he called me tonight and he was asking me all about ICI and how he would want to try that a couple months while we saved more money. So it seems like that will be the route we will Most likely be going. I'll know for sure within the next couple of weeks because I want to get started right away if we go this route as it can take a while for my BiL to start poducing sperm again.
Ya paying 170 for them to look at your chart is crazy. I wish I could help more but I just have no idea. Have you tried posting it in the forums so others can look at it and give advice. Someone else must have had the same issue at some point.

Anyhoo Bacon and eggs are calling, talk soon girls

stillfuntryin, I checked it but I couldn't see the line - sorry! But it could be my computer screen too. Keep checking - I hope this is it for you after this crazy cycle!
AFM, AF is pretty much gone. It was a really odd period this time - only really lasted 3 days and I had no cramps or sore bbs. Not sure what to think of that. I did green tea, pineapple core and another supplement, and no progesterone last cycle so I wonder if that had something to do with it. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to O time this cycle and trying to stay positive and hopeful! Also trying to get some more exercise in when I can. Thinking of trying to BD every second day up til a few days after O, just to cover all the bases and not obsess so much about when exactly I'm ovulating this time.

Northernbabydream: I would def. think day 5 would be too soon for ovulation. I think you should try another pregnancy test just to double check.
Stillfuntryin: I think I may have seen a very faint line on your HPT it's so hard to tell though. I know for me my faint lines we much easier to spot in person then in a picture. I hope the line gets darker and you get your bfp!
Jmcandrew: how are things going for you?
Afm: haven't had a chance to sit and go over things with the BiL but my husband and his brothers and dad are about to leave on a week long ocean fishing trip so nothing could really happen until after they get back anyway. I can't wait though to get started back up. Hope all you girls are doing well.
