Our experience with IVF and IUI after cancer

So our experience with IVF as well as several IUIs. Right after surgery, they froze the little sperm that they found albeit became they found it was amorphic and low motility, so it was low chance of working right after so we went through our first IVF in June-July timeframe after radiation, two years ago, hoping that would work and hoping that we’d after this horrible year of cancer and radiation treatment and find out there’s no sperm count. We just we’re hoping for some good news to take us out of this dark tunnel that we’re now entering and hopefully let us see the light at the end of the tunnel a lot sooner than two years later that we still have no sperm.

So we did an IVF cycle then, did not take, so two weeks of after the transfer into my wife of several embryos, two weeks of walking on pins and needles, wondering if it’s gonna take, we find out through blood test that it did not take and my wife was not pregnant. After that there was several because my wife had so many eggs, they found 11 sperm that were found in a matter of four vials. They defrosted four vials after my surgery; after the radiation treatment, they found 11 sperm, and with those 11 sperm they had seven embryos that made it so we were hoping that this was the light that we’re gonna have children, most importantly my biological children. And we put in, after the first IVF cycle, we put in three of them, none of them took, so we had four left over that was frozen. The doctor did tell us that when you freeze embryos it’s not as high as a chance of survival when they thought it out.

So we ended up, I think July-August timeframe, tried the frozen cycle, they defrosted out four and two of them dropped off right away and then one of them dropped off and we have one left, and it wasn’t they didn’t have all the cells so it was pretty devastating to know that the only sperm I had left, there was one embryo and it doesn’t have the full cells division and so we just put it in and hope for the best. Two weeks later I found out through the blood test again that it didn’t take, so now we’ve got no sperm. My wife and I went through an IVF and no baby is on the way, so that was extremely devastating.
