Sample-to-sample variation does exist. And the semen analysis half a year ago had a 18% normal morphology, with a passing score of 30%. This time, although it was <1%, I suspect the passing score was 14% instead. In other words, it is very difficult to compare the two results using the same scale. Regardless, your hubby's sperm do not pass in terms of normal morphology. However, what were the sperm concentration and motility like? Did you IUI doctor give you any advice or suggestions?
Your hubby shouldn't need to see 泌尿科醫生. Just see how this IUI may turn out; after that, simply consult your iui/ivf doctor for your next step.
Practically speaking, your hubby won't need another semen analysis; it's not going to change a lot. Sometimes men may neglect the importance of their diet and health because they work hard to earn a living; your hubby may consider eating a variety of fruits, or taking vitamin C tablets because vitamin C is an antioxidant. If he decides to take tablets, just follow the instructions on the bottle will be good enough; taking too many won't help because extra vitamin C will simply be excreted in urine. Also take good rest and try to find time to exercise.
Although we all sound like the sperm is a serious problem, it is not that bad. If you will consider controlled ovarian stimulation (i.e. the more invasive approach with egg retrieval and embryo transfer), ICSI will give you the best chance as compared to conventional IVF. As for your part, do the healthy lifestyle with your hubby so that you are supporting each other. Simple enough to start now irrespective of this IUI outcome. There is just nothing to lose if your IUI turns up a success; but if it fails, you both have a head start to prepare for the upcoming path.
When will be your "official" date to check bingo? Will you have to check it at home or back in your ivf clinic? On that official check date if your period has not returned, your doctor will probably give you a blood test. I won't worry about 宮外孕yet; instead, it may be a biochemical pregnancy, which means the embryo is somewhat growing but also not good enough to implant. This is not an uncommon phenomenon in ivf or fet because we tend to check bingo super early. These biochemical don't seem to be so common in natural pregnancies simply because in natural ones, nobody would check bingo like we do!
In any case, let's see what the actual blood level of HCG and hopefully your doctor will give you immediate advice. Don't give up yet, I suppose you still have a good number of embryos for subsequent fet's.
my official date to check bingo is 15/6/2011(14 days after fet on 1/6/2011).
i took the blood test yesterday morning and nurse told me the index is 88. and nurse told me i will back to hospital to hv ultra-sound checking on 5/7/2011.
i will try my best to relax, thank for yr support.

do you still remeber me? i've failed my fet yesterday.
remember i told you that the first day of my last cycle was March 2. Then i went to see my ivf doctor in late april and i started to take estrofem in early May. I had my fet on Jun 3 and found failed yesterday. I would like to ask when my m will come again after i've stopped taking estrofem yesterday? if it does not come, what should i do? thanks.
We do not "shorten" the sperm tail. We immobilize (stop the sperm from swimming) and deliver the entire sperm into an egg. The needle used is also very fine. The whole ICSI procedure, when performed in trained hands, will not cause any physical damage to the egg. Since ICSI was first introduced in the early 1990s, thousands of babies were born with little severe malformations or abnormalities. And those abnormalities reported in the literature are more related to genetics, in which the sperm used was often very very poor in quality; no one has reported abnormalities due to the ICSI technical process itself.
Why does the process not affect BB health? I suppose no one can be 100% sure, but it is generally safe. I would compare it to when you have Gonal-F injections on your belly. The trauma (puncture the skin and inject the medicine) is relatively minor and your skin will heal fairly quickly.
I am sorry to hear the news; I hope you are coping ok. Do you still have some frozen embryos?
It's hard to say when your m will come; it may take a few weeks in some women. If it does not come, you should ask your doctor. He/she will either ask you to wait a little longer or prescribe some medication to help miss M come. Try to relax and rest in the mean time. [I reviewed your previous posts and noticed that you may have a stressful job and your period has been irregular.]
I have no frozen embryo and need to start again. I had 2 ivf before: one time got 7 eggs with 2 eggs for 放胎。the other time got 8 eggs with 4 suitable for 放。I want to ask if I can have a better result if I change the doctor, or I can just have the same result due to my health condition?

what health condition do you mean??

didn't talk to you for a while, how are you doing?
today is my Day 21 after doing ER in previous cycle. i charted basal body temperature and used test papers to check but there is no sign of ovulation yet... it is obviously later than my normal cycles, and i believe it may be related to the hormonal changes induced by IVF....
so i'd like to consult you about what might happen when my m finally comes and i call my IVF doctor? how will next cycle be handled if i'm going to do FET indeed? and will it be a good idea for me to wait a bit longer and see if my cycle can get back to normal first?
Dear Cutecute town,
Do u think 2 pregnyl shot (every 3 day) is good enough to support progesterone after a fresh ivf cycle until pregnancy test? Or it is better to add other support like crinone gel or endometrin tablet?
Have you got miss M returned after your last ivf, or are you still waiting?
There is no point in charting anything if miss M has not yet come (I think I have said this already in reply to your previous charting) because your day of Decapeptyl was actually similar to the day of ovulation; in other words, there won't be a natural ovulatory event because ivf process totally took over your natural cycle. Your eggs were retrieved (which was somewhat an "artificial" ovulation); but due to the hormones used for stimulation, your body is somewhat confused now, but it will recover. Since you didn't have an embryo transfer procedure, no progesterone/hcg is present in your system. All we are waiting for is miss M to return so a "normal" natural cycle will resume.
Once miss M comes, call your ivf doctor. I think he/she may want to check your endometrium first (due to your previous thick endometrium, and also previous hysteroscopy results). How your FET will be arranged depends on this check. If your endometrium is ok for FET, you may go ahead; or indeed, you can take some rest before considering. It's really up to you.

yes, my m came once already, 5 days after ER. So now is the 22nd day of the new cycle after IVF.

If that is your doctor's instruction, it is of course good enough.
Crinone or Endometrin are relatively "new" medication as compared to good old pregnyl. Years ago, women got pregnyl (HCG) injections only. And they needed to go to the clinic every 3 days to receive the injections. The advantage is that you don't need to worry about not injecting it properly; besides, you don't have to go to the clinic everyday. With Crinone/progesterone preparation, you need it everyday, and I think you had worried previously with progesterone gel residue, which could be a little messy on the underwear for some.
Generally, you will only need one or the other, i.e. HCG or progesterone.

Thanks so much for your reply.
I'm a bit relieved now. Can you tell me more about pregnyl? I assumed it doesn't work the same way as crinone gel as it goes through the blood instead. Also, do you think too much luteal support would have negative effect on implantation? Actually I would still like to convince my doctor to prescribe me other type of luteal support, if not crinone, maybe endometrin....Do you think i'm over-concerned?

No difference between crinone and endometrin; both are vaginal progesterone, up to you to choose.

Not sure if your doc will prescribe other luteal support to you even if you insist.

Yes, you are over-concerned.

Sorry, I should "reply" instead of "comment".
well, my m came once on 31/5, 5 days after ER. So today is my Day 22 of the new cycle. My dr told me to call back for check up and FET at the end of this cycle. I'm concerned just coz I dunno when my M will come again as there's no sign for ovulation. I remember you told me charting body temperature is not accurate, I did that just as a reference. I also did urine test by those test papers since D16, and they showed a very pale water mark only next to the reference line so far.
I'm a bit worried coz most ppl said the effect of previous injections should vanish and should not affect this cycle too much. But all along I had regular cycles, ovulating on day 13-18 (also checked by urine test papers and BBT rise), so I felt my natural cycle is disturbed. I dunno, just a bit confused... if waiting a bit further can allow my natural cycle to resume its normalcy, i think I'd prefer waiting to having a hormonal replacement cycle. You've explained the difference between the two ways of doing FET to me already, what i get is that both ways have similar chance of leading to successful pregnancy, right? Is there any difference in terms of side effects or other things?
