There is *HOPE* after all

Alright, so since my last post I have received some better news. The lab did not elaborate on anything from DH's SA so we took the bad news and it simply sank in. Thankfully, my amazing doctor called and told us the positive news. (who knew there was any?) Now, while his motility is a little low and his morphology has a high number of abnormal form, his volume and count was ridiculously high. (good thing!)

SA Results:
Count per test= 41 million (average is at least 25 million)
Total Count per sample= 308 million (average is at least 59 million)
Volume= 7.5 (average is 1-5)
Motility= 40 (average 50-100)
Normal Form= 35 (average 60-100)
Abnormal Form= 65 (average 0-40)

So while the abnormal form is much higher than we would like it to be, there ARE still normal, healthy swimmers, and combined with the fact that his count and volume is SO high, there is still a good chance one of those normal little swimmers will make it to my egg which means it is NOT hopeless yet!

We've also most likely pin-pointed the main issue: I don't ovulate like normal. Anovulation is my technical term  for it, meaning I still get normal periods and have healthy fertile eggs, but I none of them are being ovulated! So as of yesterday I was prescribed 50 mg of Clomid for 2 months. I had an abdominal ultrasound yesterday and he couldn't see much for some reason so he did one internally and my ovaries appear to be fine. They are a normal size at 3 cm by 2.5 cm. There are no large cysts and plenty of healthy eggs. My uterus is in a normal place and shape with no abnormalities. My bladder was nice and healthy and my colon contained an interesting looking bowel movement. I know that is totally TMI but I literally laughed when the doctor showed it to me so I had to share it with you. Anyway, as he was fishing around my ovaries and showing me things on the monitor I started to cry because I imagined being on the table and waiting to see my baby in there. I know that one day, hopefully soon, I will be looking at my little baby growing, instead of a odd bowel movement in my colon. LOL!

So now once my AF (period) decides to show up, I will then start Clomid on day 5-10 of my cycle and begin baby-dancing on Day 11 throughout the rest of the month. Hopefully, this initial round of Clomid works and I get my BFP by Christmas! But, if not, he will bump me up to 100 mg for 2 more months. And, I won't even think about what comes after that if it still doesn't work because in my heart, I am having faith that this WILL WORK! Thank you everyone who has been so supportive and kind and uplifting for me the last couple of days. I greatly appreciate you all.
