You would think 300 million good quality sperm with a 5 hr head start combined with 2 eggs would be able to get the job done!!
Not to be this time.
Pissed off, disappointed, guttered - yep - who wouldn't be. There isn't anything anyone can say or do that will lessen how you feel, but it is heartening to know that you have these people in your life who are rooting for you every inch of the way - just as though they are experiencing the journey themselves. Thankyou x
However, at times like these you need to try and look at the big picture. We may have lost this battle, but we haven't lost the war. So after you have your little cry and spend a good 24 hours (or there abouts) feeling sorry for yourself there is nothing else to do, but pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get ready for the next cycle.
With our initial sperm supplies down to 1 vial and a new batch of donors arriving from the US we thought it wise to go shopping as IVF now looks to be a very real prospect for us in 2010. For those of you unfamiliar with purchasing sperm let us enlighten you - the donor sperm only gets shipped out to Australia every 3 months and it is important to get in early to nab the lad of your choice as all the popular boys sell out quickly. We have been fortunate enough to score ourselves 2 vials of a young college buck. He was our number one pick so we are thrilled. It is not often you get your first choice so it is important to at least have a top 3 to save disappointment. We were going to save both vials of our new donor for IVF, but following this second failed attempt we have decided to use one vial of the newbie for our third and final IUI cycle. We figure a change of sperm may make the difference? At the end of the day it's not going to hurt to try something different.So, all our Dr's appointments have been made, acupuncture is booked and Chinese herbs and vitamin supplements have been purchased. All that is left to do now is find some new names for this cycle's egg and sperm. Any suggestions?
