More good news on the infertility front. Trust me all the baby steps really are a big deal. We got the full lab report on Tom's sperm analysis. His morphology (shapes) has gone from 1% to 7%, which is in the normal range. Will wonders never cease? So we spoke with our embryologist on the phone. We have decided to only do partial fertilization with ICSI. This means a portion of our eggs will be allowed to fertilize "naturally" by whatever spermie gets there first. The other portion will have one individual sperm inserted in each egg. Hopefully this will give us more options for embryos to transfer.
PS Did day 6 of Lupron shots this morning. This was the first time it hurt. But I think I hit a little vein because it bled too. So far I haven't had any side effects. I was kind of hoping for the hot flashes, it is still chilly down here in the computer room.

Yay, Alisa! Things sound like they are just moving right along. I have never given myself a shot before so I just can't imagine. I guess you get used to it after awhile.
WOO HOO! things seem to be going along well!
And you're one brave chica. I could never give myself any sort of injection. I used to carry epinephrine with me for my allergies but I don't think I could have ever administered it myself.
stumbled in through a door at Buzz-A-Roni, and whoa, what a post, my first read here.
I have always been puzzled why those couple who so dearly desire a child have trouble conceiving...I do hope all ends up well!
Thnx for the read, I hope you don't mind a return visit.
