Hello Everyone
Well I haven't been on the thread for a while and I actually really missed all of the positive support you give to one another.
Anyway on August 18, I started AF..but for some odd reason I had loads of pain, which I would have assumed were cramps, except I never have any cramping with my cycle. So I didn't wanted to seem like a big baby, so I dealt with the pain. On August 19 I went to work in the morning and could barely function because I was in so much pain. I called my doctors office to see if it was normal for me to be in pain and if I could get an emergency appointment. Well my doctors office is extremely busy, but I read a thread before about how you should be really nice to the office staff and bring them treats and they will help you whenever possible. I had followed those suggestions and my doctor's nurse squeezed me into an open space. I was extremely nervous thinking about everything that could possibly be wrong. The doctor came into the room and started asking me a lot of questions, he stated he wanted to get the result of my blood work before moving any further. We waited for a while and finally he just decided to do a vaginal ultrasound. When he first put that instrument inside me, his faced just looked puzzled and shocked. Well we all know the last thing you want to do is "puzzle" a doctor...I immediately became scared and asked him what was wrong. He told me my cervix was completely closed and wasn't allowing my cycle to flow out. He said to was so bad he would have to do and emergency procedure just to try to stop my uterus from rupturing and even doing the procedure could still cause it to rupture because it was so full. I don't think it took me for than 1/2 of 1/2 of a second to burst into tears. I mean I couldn't control myself! All I thought about was being 28 and having to have a hysterectomy..which meants all my hopes of having a child would be out the window. My doctor assured me he would make all attempts possible to prevent that from happening, but he just had to prepared me for the worse. Well anyway I went to the hospital next door and we prepared for cervical dilation and some other procedure, but I forgot the name. It actually went very well, with the exception of me getting an infection 3 days later and having to stay in the hospital for an entire week.
I finally began to recover and I went to see my doctor the other day for a follow-up. Everything was great, my cervix is still opened, but it is beginning to close so I know I will definitely need IUI to conceive. That would be the least of my worries, if I could be so lucky. After my appointment the doctor wanted to speak with my and husband, turns out his semen analysis returned and he has an abnormal morphology percentage. So now we have to make an appointment with a urologists to get him treated (if it is possible). I started thinking that all hopes of me having a child were slowing, but surely beginning to slip away. To make matters worse, my doctor started to discuss donor sperm with us and my husband completely flipped out and objected 1000% to the idea.
Well as for now we have an appointment Sept. 20 with the urologist, so we will see. Just feeling a little down and sad.
Thanks everyone for your support and hope all goes well with your IVF's & IUI's!

babysoft,
Its really awful you had to go through so much trauma.
I'm sure that now that issues have been identified, they can be solved.
Medical science has answers to almost everything these days so don't lose hope.
As far as donor sperm goes,I think the doctor would have suggested it so that you are aware of all possibilities and not as something you HAVE to go in for.
I hope the visit to the urologist helps you and your dh.Remember, with one sperm also ICSI can be carried out successfully.
Please don't lose hope- there are answers to everything.They just take time..
Wishing you Lots of Luck.
Keep posting.All the women here are brave and full of support.You'll get to where you want for sure.
Hugs,
smita

Wow, Babysoft.
What an ordeal you've been through. Sorry to hear things have been so rough!
Its possible your DH may come around, its just very shocking for men to hear that not everything is right with them. They very much identify their sense of manhood with that. Give it some time to soak in and explore the options your urologist gives.
Good luck.
