On May 19th, exactly 8 months later TO THE DAY, I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy! I was hold the embryo thawed beautifully and my transfer was perfect! Four days later, I went in for my frozen transfer. We were putting all of our hope for a biological family on the one last embryo we had frozen. The doctor searched for two hours and found nothing. On September 15th my husband went in for a testicular extraction procedure to see if we could get more sperm. Two weeks later I got the email from the embryology team that our last embryo had made it to a AA quality blastocyst and was frozen. My hcg levels were over 100 on Monday and down to 10 by Wednesday. I was in shock and so thrilled! That Sunday I started spotting - and even though the following day my hcg levels were good I knew something was wrong. We scheduled a day 3 transfer of the two best quality embryos and prayed that the third embryo made it to blastocyst-level so that it could be frozen.ħ days later, on a Thursday, I saw the most amazing (and faint) second pink line on a pregnancy test.
We retrieved 15 eggs (not bad for a 34 year old), but Nathan’s sample was without sperm.Īfter thawing the two vials of frozen sperm and a 6 hour search for sperm by the amazing Boston IVF embryologists, they found enough to fertilize 11 of them. I went in for my retrieval as my husband gave his fresh sample. I started my cycle the middle of May, 2017. A biological child for us was still possible! After we both went through many tests it was determined that my husband had a y-chromosome Microdeletion that caused his sperm count to be very low and even non-existent at times. Wright suggested my husband freeze several samples, have several tests to see if she could determine the cause and start me on the process toward an IVF cycle with ICSI. That was the most wonderful news I had ever heard.ĭr. I got an appointment the next week and we were off on our journey! Another more thorough semen analysis revealed a small amount of sperm. I waited until I was alone to let the tears flow by myself at my desk.Įven with this diagnosis, I knew we were meant to be parents. Zero sperm.” I audibly gasped at lunch with my colleagues. I needed to know right then and there what was going on.
He texted me while at work saying we needed to talk later.īeing as anxious as I am, told him that he couldn’t do that to me. Share your inspiring success story! I will never forget the day my husband got the results of his semen anaysis.
