Over 1 Million and Counting!

Last week we started seeing sperm on the microscope so we decided that it was time to get back to the lab. On Friday we got another 200,000 sample into cryo. Today, we got another 200,000 sample into cryo. We now have a total of more than 1 million sperm. Mr. Scuba will go back again on Wednesday and on Friday. We don't know how long this will go on for.

This is just so crazy. This is the first time since August that we have seen anything on the microscope and we started seeing it exactly when we predicted that we would - approximately 70 days from the last time. This means that Mr. Scuba does produce sperm, but only for 1 week out of every 70 days. It was an absolute miracle that we used the mircoscope for the first time on the right week, and it is a miracle that we were able to find them again.

This is making me and the doctors feel better about our chances with IVF. Each additional sample frozen makes the chances of empty eggs at retreival seem smaller and smaller. I am so thankful for that!
