The results were not good. All of my testing came back normal. 's came back abnormal for morphology (shape of sperm) with only 1% being normal. The cut off is greater than 8%. The doctor told us that nothing really fixes this problem, and that he recommends In Vitro Fertilization with ICSI (when they inject a sperm into the egg). We cannot afford something like this and don't plan on borrowing the money.

How does he account for Em and the fact that I miscarried twice after her? He can't...he says we got very lucky. He also said that it's not to say that IUI (intrauterine insemination) wouldn't work, ...we can try it and hope to get lucky, but the way it looks, it's not likely.

This means...no abdominal cerclage placed preconception next month, obviously. As to what we plan on doing...we may have 's test repeated in three months, though the two doctors told us it's not likely to change the result.

I have been sobbing since we left the medical center parking garage. Please don't tell me how fortunate I am to have my children...I already know very well. This just blows my dreams to shreads.
