I think those were the only two tests--karyotyping and the fragmentation of DNA 'packaging' test. Rooting for you too--why must things be so incredibly hard?

Always kind of baffles me why REs don't focus a wee bit more on the male. I mean--why not? I don't get it. DH had his karyotyping done at the very beginning (normal) but we're doing it again, just in case there was some error in the first test (unlikely, but you never know). His two fragmentation tests came back normal, as well. If you find out any other tests that are recommended for sperm, would you let me know? Out here rooting for you. Always.

How refreshing to know that you HAVEN'T disappeared and you have a daughter! What is ODWU? I am on Facebook... Is your email still the same from when I sent the meditations? I can send you another email through that if that works... THanks for the info!

I'm SO glad you had a phone consult with CCRM. THEY are really the best! I don't know if you still follow my blog or not, but that is where we ended up.. and it was our best cycle ever... ON A LOT LESS MEDS! My local clinic kept increasing my meds when in fact i needed less! The ODWU is good... will give you a lot of information. I was happy that they did all of their own test... in a way starting out fresh and figuring what needs to be done. Anyways... I could go on and on about how great they are. We have our daughter because of them. If you need another invite for my blog (I have tons of CCRM info on it), just comment back on here with an email addy I can send you an invite too. I don't know if your on Facebook, but I can also add you to the CCRM group... <br />Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447255647970709867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-42388704590377690682013-11-07T16:41:29.208-08:002013-11-07T16:41:29.208-08:00Thanks!

It's scary because I feel like we're at the end of our rope and deciding in which way to jump. I appreciate your thoughts and support! A happy ending is coming our way...maybe just not how we originally thought. Such is life, though. I like this plan, too...Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-59705464897288973842013-11-07T16:39:37.560-08:002013-11-07T16:39:37.560-08:00Thanks, Aimee!

I hope the holidays can be a respite despite the spirit of babies not born yet that hangs over our shoulders...

I also remember that feeling... telling myself I'd stop after the second IVF.. and then the last IVF... and move to adoption, and then not being ready to let go till I had explored all the possibilities. <br /><br />None of this is fair. I want to see a happy ending for you guys so badly. Good job in your approach and best of luck.. I will keep following and hoping for good news this spring.

I am glad that you are taking time for you over the holidays and trying to make through what we both know is going to still be consumed with thoughts of our "maybe someday" family. I'll be interested to hear what you learn from the other two consults.<br />Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569304261655584855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-58579063682069025062013-11-06T18:15:17.129-08:002013-11-06T18:15:17.129-08:00You are always in my thoughts.
