I tiggered last night at 10pm and went in for our first insemination of IUI#2 this morning at 8am.
If you will remember our first IUI we had a beautiful day. This time I can't even try to smile.
(here is our background, so this makes sense)
Our total post-wash motile count was 1.2 million. I just cried and cried right there on the table. We actually had our highest sperm count ever at
140.6 million and 23% motility - our best ever. How can we go from 140 to 1.2??? That is less than .01% or our pre-wash. WTF? Is this what
antibodies are doing to us? I can just picture the sperm trying to swim
through the gradient and being held down by these ugly antibodies. Little fuckers.
I don't even know how to feel about tomorrow. I'm just filled with despair.

I Am 1 In 6Infertility. No one thinks it will happen to them. In reality, fertility - something we take for granted - is a miraculously coordinated orchestra of hormones and timing. In couples suffering from infertility (IF) a part (or parts) of the orchestra are not playing in key. Just one wrong note makes the seemingly simple task of procreation extremely difficult. This is our journey from IF to baby.Categories

Paige, i dont know what to say...i totally empathize, from 140 to 1. What happened indeed. I'm so sorry for the dip. I know how that feels. But, as they say, it only takes ones sperm, right. Only one.

Damned antibodies. How frustrating. Keeping things crossed for you.

I'm pretty new to all of this and still learning what all of the numbers mean (Hubs and I will be doing our first IUI next cycle) but I wanted to leave you a note to let you know I'm rooting for you.
