I am almost at the point of giving up

I went today for my injection class (which was a big deal to me, since I am terrified of needles). Anyway, after everything is said and done and I tell her we are freezing my dh's semen to do this she explains to me that that's fine but make sure he isnt sick at all for at least a month before he drops off the specimen.

Well, he's been sick and about 2weeks ago he took amoxicillan so, guess what I need to wait another whole cycle.

If I hadnt come to work I would be crying my eyes out right now. It seems every time I take a step forward I get pushed back another one.

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

It's so frustrating but try not to lose hope. It will be worth the wait.

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

Set backs are always hard to deal with, but I agree that it will be worth the wait. Try to treat your self to something nice, whether it's shoes or just a big dessert, I know that always makes me feel a little better. Thinking of you

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

Don't give up!!! I know it's frustrating, it's always wait another cycle, another cycle, another cycle. I'm going through it too. Just know we all know how you feel and you're not alone!!

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

he can do it anyway if he feels up to it. When they get the sperm they do a mini SA, if they see any white blood cells ( from beingsick) , they will report it back and if its too high, cancel the freezing. But everything COULD be fine? I would try it if it were me and DH was up to it.

as frustrating as it is, try not to look at it as a setback, but a chance to make sure dh's sperm are absolutely at their best. like pauline said, that could make a big difference towards your bfp.

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

DO NOT EVER give up.....I felt the same way, I thought I would never get PG.
It will happen...I know it will. By you gving up will not help you mentally..you need to stay strong

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

Don't give up - taking a break is okay. Trust me, I've been in a holding pattern for six months now and can't wait to start back at it. If the DR. thinks you should hold off on this cycle then do so, but don't take a nurses word for it..talk to your doctor. Hope you feel better soon...

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

Thank you everyone. I did call the dr and she confirmed waiting.

Someone asked why frozen and the reason is, he does heating in the city so he's not always available to go to the drs office. For instance he went to work this morning and I probably wont see him until sometime tomorrow night or Sat morning. Then we have his daughter every other wknd so this on top of his job is extremely stressful, so freezing it because I can go at any time was the perfect solution.

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

I know how you feel, we have had a few setbacks with me getting sick right before a cycle, it sucks. Don't give up, you'll get there!

Good luck

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

PLEASE don't give up --- I know it is frustrating but your time will come...stay strong. We are here for you if you need to vent!

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

Be strong and don't give up.

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

I know it's hard to wait but you've come this far; you can't give up now. Try to tell yourself that it's just one more month. It'll be here before you know it.

Re: I am almost at the point of giving up

Can I ask why him having a cold effects it? They wouldn't tell you not to have sex if he was sick? Just wondering.

We have to freeze as well, but because my DH has prostate cancer and we don't have a choice.

I know how you feel. I think we all do here. We keep hitting road blocks. It has been one thing after another for us. But we are trying to keep going, keep faith, and stay positive. Some days are definately more trying then others.

FM me if you want to chat more. I totally understand where you are coming from. Best of luck!
