Sperm results (results on page 2)

Eeek - it's sperm results day tomorrow

My main nerves are that when OH booked it he was told results were 3-5 days, but at the hospital they said 7-10 days. So we booked the doctor for a week after the sample went in, ages ago, but what if the results aren't here yet?!?!?!?!?! Takes about 2-3 weeks to get a docs appointment at our doctor's so we may be waiting a while (and I don't think we'd be able to blag an emergency appointment somehow)

Those thoughts have kept down the nerves about the results this weekend, although we're both a bit quiet.

Doctor at 9am. New doctor as the old one was young and got rotated on somewhere else. Who knows what tomorrow will bring...

Well they had the results, they weren't great. I've got a print out to get honest feedback from you guys as I got an impression from the doc (another lovely man) that he was sugar coating things.

Will write them out later, on the train now with bad reception

Hi Scotch,

If i'm interpreting them correctly they are not too good, they are not terrible but it's looking like IVF or ICSI may be on the cards for you, gosh I feel bad telling you, were you expecting this because of OH's op, I hope you're ok hun, big

Louise B will be of the most help to you, your results are similar but not as bad as her hubbys.

Sorry it's not better news Hun.

xx

To be honest I expected everything to come back fine and it all to be a bad dream.

Appreciate the honesty, heart breaking as it is. I still feel like a fraud coming into ltttc. I guess I don't feel like this can really be happening to us.

 

[maybe baby]

Ahh Hun don't be silly, were all here for you here in LTTTC, have you spoken to your GP?

Basically the total count is low, my hubbys is high but as a comparison his is 89 million per ml.

I'm no expert but I've done a lot of reading when I was trying to find out what was wrong with me, I think the positive lies in the fact that the morphology is not to bad at all a little bit lower than most normal people and the amount of rapid progressive, ie the super sperm swimming fast the right direction was is not too bad too.

I would say that the quality seems pretty good but it's the count that's very low, I don't think you would qualify for IUI but I may be wrong??
