(Ponies? Cattle? Whatevs, I don't know shit about cowboys, I guess.) Anyway, it's so easy and cheap I would definitely suggest it next time you talk with your RE. Then you can be like me and be reminded CONSTANTLY about how perfect your husband swimmers are. I know it's a good problem to have, but enough already. I get it, they squiggle with the best of 'em. Too bad my lazy ass eggs aren't as peppy. (Whatever happened to opposites attract?)<BR/><BR/>Back to you! I know this decision to leap to IVF must be weighing on you, but try not to stress out too much until you get your CCCT results back. Hopefully it will tell you that you've got scads of perfect eggs left and that you can try some low(er)-tech procedures before completely emptying your bank accounts... Good luck!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784917607642187815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-34843112262397514762007-05-03T13:54:00.000-07:002007-05-03T13:54:00.000-07:00um...(she says while sheepishly looking down and d...um...(she says while sheepishly looking down and dragging her foot back and forth)...Shorty is not quite yet my RE. But he will be--if we're not pregnant. (fingers and toes crossed!)<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a very eventful meeting! It does seem slightly strange that they aren't testing Cowboy's swimmers...seems like that is an easy, non-invasive test that could yield some useful info. Might be worth asking why?<BR/><BR/>As for the skipping IUI, I know docs vary on that...it seems to me that the best reason to skip it is if egg quality is an issue...but you don't know that it is, right?<BR/><BR/>But, I should warn you that I'm the worst RE EVER, so you should probably take anything I say with an enormous grain of salt. :-)Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828936673145226848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-58731385533191656362007-05-03T12:25:00.000-07:002007-05-03T12:25:00.000-07:00Phew, after some serious bloggy detective work I f...Phew, after some serious bloggy detective work I found you, and posted your link on my blog.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry, I know I had it, I am so totally scatter-brained these days!)<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, I have to say 'THAT'S CRAP' about Cowboy not getting his boys tested. I am standing on a soap box now, yelling that it's not fair, and it's not right.<BR/><BR/>The man should always be tested in tandom with the woman. It just makes sense. Why go through all of the (often invasive) tests and exams when quite often it is a male-factor problem??<BR/><BR/>Especially if you're talking about an HSG or something...<BR/><BR/>I just don't get doctors sometimes. But I always yell and scream at my friends when this happens, and encourage them to demand the tests.<BR/><BR/>Okay, carefully getting off soap box now...<BR/><BR/>:-)Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200039011136695507noreply@blogger.com
