What's Your Story?

KB75
Me: 35 Him: 33

Trying the old fashioned way: 7+ Years
DX: Palpable Unilateral Varicocele / Severe Male Factor
Other Issues:  Embryos start to fragment and go downhill on day-3 when the sperm takes over.  We've never had any to freeze.  I am a high-responder to FSH (for my age.)  No PCOS.  We adjusted my Lupron (up) and FSH (down) for cycle #2 and 2 of the 4 transferred embryos implanted.  There's no way to know what made the difference between cycle 1 & 2, but I have a feeling keeping my E2 under better control was a major factor.
