We are back to 4 sperm, right where we started. I have no idea what is going on. Our RE was not very encouraging. Even with the 500,000 sample and the 250,000 sample frozen, he called that minuscule amounts and suggested that may not be enough on it's own. Even if that is true, he has such a terrible way of delivering news. I am back to being annoyed by him. He even recommended donor sperm again even though we made it very clear twice already that is not an option for us! We will have a follow up with Mr. Scuba's doc at the beginning of September and he may have some better or at least more compassionately delivered news for us. We are thinking that the fluctuations may be normal and we may just be "bleeding the system". At least we hope so.
The plan: I will start the birth control pills at the start of my next cycle. Mr. Scuba will keep testing at home with the microscope. If we see another spike then we will send him back to the lab to attempt another freeze. We will start IVF in November. Hopefully by then Mr. Scuba can get more samples frozen and maybe bleed the system enough so that we can get a fresh sample as well. We will have Mr. Scuba's doctor on stand-by in case they can't get a fresh sample, all the frozen ones are dead, and they need to pull some out of the testicles themselves.
I was hoping to start IVF much sooner, but this will continue my lessons in patience. I may actually learn the art after all!
