It would be nice to conceive naturally, but IUI would be alot more affordable. Hopefully you can at least do IUI. Do you have a follow up consult with your RE?
No we have not. We were told IVF was our only hope, but looking at these tests, even the one the RE (who told us that) did looks like we have a 10% chance huh???? I'll take that. It says 16% move progressivly rapid, which is good I guess right? So then IUI might work for us. Definatly would be more affordable. He is going to see another specialist for a 2nd opinion.
Have you and DH ever done IUI? I dont remember. It seems like his count has changed alot. Definatly for the better :)
Ok, just to add more confusion I asked the RE for their results since they are the ones who say we can't get PG without IVF. This one done after the first one and before the last one. The numbers are very different here.

IgG 1% (negative
IgA 49% bound (positive)
Hoping~ I'm glad he got another test! At least he has alot of them a swimmin, his motile sperm look great! 80% of 123 million! Thats a bunch! My DH only had 59 million his last count (went up from 26) and only 56% motile, and you know how it turned out for us~
((HUGS))
that's good. I would be really confused if they just sent that to me. Our RE explains the SA in terms of cars and darts. I love it. He makes it easy to understand ;)
No, they just mailed the results to us, like we would know what it all means...LOL. DH is going to call tomorrow and see if they will go over it with him.
That would definatly be alot easier. Do you have an appt to go over the results and get answers?
I know, it looks good except that the WBC is up and that's what causes the clumping. But then the motility is up which is good, because the clumping causes poor motility. I wish they would just say, good and bad next to them.
It seems like it's better now. Hey maybe it's because of the baby in the bottle LOL. I have no idea. SA confuse me so much. They should just keep it simple- count, mobility and morphology.
