wishing you well

Hi- I am in G'bo and just having my first try at IVF after 2 years of trying, including 7 IUI attempts. So far IVF has been much easier than I expected- but I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am sort of a wierd IVF patient- I have an 18 YO son and a 12 YO- so I thought I was done. Turns out DH was not done, so here we are! I am thinking that if IVF doesn't work out this round we might try 1 more round and quit- or just quit. I guess I think I am odd b/c I would like a baby but I am not totally dedicated to the idea of a baby- I have felt disappointment with each failed attempt, but not devasation. So I have always felt guilty posting, because maybe I am not dedicated enough to this whole idea? I have moved over to the infertility center at Duke for the IVF part- and I am so tired of I-40!

Anyway- it sounds like your husband's count is pretty low. We have found that my DH's count improves (by at least 10% and sometimes up tp 20%) if the night before the IUI we mess around (like third base but not home in high-school terminology). Don't know why, and there is no literature on this, but it is very consistent for us. Wishing you all the best luck!
