Well, the results are in, and it's going to be IVF with ICSI for us. I started my exercise program at the beginning of this month ( Power 90), so I'm giving myself 3 months to get fit for pregnancy. So, November 1st I am ready for IVF.

Good luck! I'm curious what was the result?

Did your doctor order you to lose weight before IVF?

The result was, DH is missing one of his vas deferens, and the seminal vesicles are absent, and he has cysts in his prostate that block the ejaculatory ducts. Seminal vesicles was the clincher, you can't get pregnant naturally without the fructose that the seminal vesicles add to the semen. So, it's sperm extraction time, hopefully the MESE method
(that's general anesthesia and has the best results).
Thank you for all the happy thoughts!!!!
Aaron Nicole, the doctor did not tell me to lose weight, but I have read that everything goes better if you are in the normal BMI range, so I am trying. I'm trying to lose 10 lbs at a time so I don't get discouraged. I am hoping that getting ready to have a baby will be an excellent motivator....it worked for quitting smoking, which I did back in Dec. 07, back when I figured pregnancy was just going to happen....silly me! Oh well, anything worth having is worth working for, I guess.

Good luck with everything, we are also heading down the same route. I will look forward to your updates. Im in the UK and my doctor told me to loose weight before the IVF, I need to loose 1 stone. I've been doing my exercise programme and diet and its going ok.

Thanks again!

Thank you for the support, I NEED IT! I have been trying to lose weight and then giving up over and over for 10 years. I figure, I'll just keep trying things until something works. I like to think that I have the world's best motivation...to be healthy for my future pregnancy. Right now, I'm doing the Power 90 exercise DVDs, and watching what I eat.
I need to lose 19 lbs to be within the "Normal" weight range for BMI. I would need to lose another 15 lbs after that to be where I was when I was 19...but I didn't have any muscle back then either. I have seen some really amazing transformation stuff on the internet, and here on JM Weight Loss. It gives me hope.
