Amber - I hope you get your wish for your DH on his birthday! What a nice surprise that will be!

yessisian - What a wonderful relationship you have with your instructor. I wish it was that way with all medical professionals. It’s hard just to get in to see my OB when I need to. You’d think that my chart would be flagged by now. 🤷

I’m a super-ovulator. When I ovulate, I release more than one egg. We have chromosomal issues. So when my eggs are fertilized, the resulting embryo(s)…roughly 2/3 of them are most likely not going to survive. 😦

Okay guys:)
You got me interested in this condom business. Can we just buy a condom, make a whole in it. And then hand the sperm that is left in the condom, to the doctor? Is it that easy?.. I wonder what my doctor would say about suc a circus… I live in a protestant country.
Love Amber
(who is impatient by now)

Does anybody have an answer for this? Are there any companies that make condoms specifically for this moral means of analysis? The way my husband and I were told, we still have to put the analysis in a sample cup (I’m guessing condom and all) and we have to get it to the lab within the hour. There is only one lab in my area that is even willing to accept the sample this way, and they aren’t exactly close to home. The specialist I went to completely dismissed the post-coital test as an option. It was interesting to see on here that aparently there are segments of the medical community willing to do it.
 
Yes, you can use the collection condom and poke a hole in it. There are a lot of very inflexible reproductive doctors out there, but what they know won’t hurt them. A perforated condom may lose a small volume of sperm, but I have also read that semen samples acquired during intercourse are more accurate than when collected via masturbation, so I figure it all works out in the end.

Good luck. Our s.a. experience w/ trying to use the condom was absolutely awful… thay’s what you get for only ever using nfp, I guess!
 
Actually I looked up “Perforated condom” on google and the first thing that came up was a place where you can actually order one. (of course the price is a bit salty)… however that does not help I guess, if you have nowhere to bring it …
I will have to talk to my doctor about it sometime, I am quite sure he never heard anything like it…

Hi everyone,

I have suffered 3 miscarriages in the last 14 months and found out that for my next pregnancy I will be on Lovenox shots every day throughout the pregnancy. I have some issues which may cause blood clotting which they think has been causing my miscarriages. Of course, I am more than willing to do this but the idea of giving myself a shot (or having my DH do it) every day is a bit daunting. Has anyone here ever been on this treatment and carried your child to full term? :confused: Thanks so much.

God bless!

Yes. My last pregnancy I had to take heparin shots twice a day the whole pregnancy. Heparin is also a blood thinner, like lovenox, but doesn’t last as long. So I had to do it every 12 hours instead of once a day. I have a clotting issue called Factor V Leiden. I did this and took a baby aspirin every day, and while we were both considered high risk and had to have extra testing done, we both came out fine.
A friend of mine had another condition…can’t remember the name of it now, but it wasn’t genetic like mine. She also had to take the heparin shots, and after having about 6 miscarriages was able to have a healthy baby girl when she took the shots.
 
Thank you so much for posting the article on this forum. it was very uplifting for me. I am 27 years old and my husband is 41. We have been trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years now. I had a surgery when I was 5 years old that caused a lot of scar tissue around my fallopian tubes. I had fluid backed up into my Right fallopian tube which the doctor said that may have been contributing to my infertility, so he took out my right fallopian tube. He also had to unblock my left fallopian tube, but does not know how long it will stay open. He says we have a 40% chance of getting pregnant. I am praying everyday for my ability to accept what ever God’s will is for my life. I will not give up hope- please pray for my husband and I . Thanks and God Bless.

Oh definitely! That post was the ‘medical’ side of it. The REAL reason I have this last baby…a nearby Church had a visit by the relics of St. Gianna. I prayed, with her gloves held to my belly, for her to intercede for me for healing. EXACTLY 9 mo. later, my little Gianna Elizabeth was born! 😃 She was named after St. Gianna and St. Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, who also had to wait a loooong time for a baby. 🙂

And to all the new people posting to this thread, welcome, but I wish you didn’t have to be here with us! It’s kind of slow here now, but go ahead and post, you’re not alone here. :grouphug:

:blessyou: for your witness Posting, for complete picture! I referred cg to it.
 
I don’t remember if I came to update about my situation. So after our 2nd miscarriage, I had several tests done, which all came back normal. I have an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) scheduled for the 13th this month, and from there a possible surgery. The drs think I have a septate uterus which can be surgically corrected and it’d increase my chances of delivering a baby. Right now, the statistics show that I have a 20% chance of having a baby, and with the surgery an 80% chance! But that’s w/o endometriosis. With the endo I don’t know how the stats change, but according to my OB and another 2 I saw, the endo won’t cause problems since I have been able to get pregnant twice (but miscarried both).

Hi Will! I have PCOS as well, and I have found soulcysters.com/ to be very informative and helpful. I will keep you and your wife in my prayers.
 
Will,

My wife and I have been married 23 years, and were never able to have children of our own, although we don’t think that PCOS was involved.

I wanted to offer some understanding that took me a few too many years to figure out for myself; No matter how much you desire children, your wife likely desires them that much more. I believe that if you keep that in mind through your future journey, it will help you both.

We eventually were able to adopt two beautiful girls at birth. The oldest is 13 and the youngest is 4.

sorry for this kind of question,what do you mean of infertility??

Infertility is generally meant to mean that a couple is not able to conceive a child after 12 months of normal reproductive activity.

I did not dare hit that link on your post. It appears to be malicious, but I could not tell for sure.
