RE called today
Grrrrr, feeling a bit pissed off today, well a lot pissed off most of the time actually but specifically since my RE called today. She rang to tell me, calmly as you like that although we thought DH's sperm was not a problem his latest analysis shows he has a low count and low morphology and that she will have to do ICSI.
It feels like another hurdle and another thing to reduce our chances of sucess, I am very disappointed because up to this point I'd really taken DH's swimmers for granted. with just tied tubes to contend with it felt like our chances were good, now theres just another factor to add to the mix, I'm sure lots of you women still see me as lucky since really I still am compared to some of your situations, but its just another blow, makes me feel like its maybe not meant to happen for us???
Also since being on the pill ive been spotting, started on Lupron and the brown spotting has gradually turned to pink red very light bleeding. mentioned it to RE today she said I shouldnt bleed once I'm on Lupron..........urm I am on lupron?? She said If you bleed once your on the lupron we'll have to cancel this cycle...............WHat???? after asking me how long ive been taking lupron (urm isnt she the frikking doctor???? ) I explained to her that the nurse said I could expect a period once I drop the Birth control, and while im on the lupron.....'yes thats right she said, if your still bleeding after your period then we will cancel your cycle"
Well how do I know when the end of my period is if I'm still bleeding??? She says oh if after 5- 7 days of no pill i'm still bleeding then cycle is cancelled. Now I'm reallu worried it could all be a waste of time if I bleed through........ why would I bleed through??
I'm most annoyed at the way was she was so unconcerned about the whole thing, like I was cancelling a hair cut or something!
Grrrrrr!!

We\'re doing ICSI as my DH has poor morphology etc, however, I wouldn\'t worry about it reducing your chances. Some people say it can actually improve success. This way it can elimiinate contamination & possible DNA problems. Try to remain focused, and positive. I\'ve got every crossed that your cycle doesn\'t get cancelled. It\'s so fustrating when the they talk about it so casually. To them, you\'re just a patient, but I dont think sometimes they realise this is your life they\'re playing with. Keep strong & keep the faith that this is going to be a success! xxx
My female OB/GYN was aloof like that too during our ectopic. Like she never read her charts and wasn\'t organized at all. It was so frustrating. Maybe she was just having a bad day.
As for the bleeding, there\'s no reason you should be bleeding for 7+ days so just stay upbeat and confident and things will work out. I have very little doubt. As for the male factor issues, maybe hubby didn\'t hold out as long as you thought for that analysis. My DH wanted to sustain for like 5+ days before our egg transfer to make sure the swimmers were good and potent. Maybe, just maybe he wacked the dog a little before this most recent sample? :-) Hang in there, I have faith in your cycle. Hugs.
Thanks Guys. Endo I have been spotting for the last month constantly and been on the Lupron for 11 days, since i came off the birth control 29th its got redder, but not heavy? It just feels horrible because theres no way to stop the bleeding, if its gonna bleed its gonna bleed..... grrr, I really hope it doesnt get cancelled
