I'm Currently Feeling: | Progesterone levels question Hey everyone, if you remember me i've been gone for a few months. I just needed to take a BIG breather from everything but now feel mentally ready to take everything on.
I had a 21 day progesterone blood test the other day and just got my results back. It is 21.6 the nurse said it was normal but kind of sounded a bit vague about it so I wanted to check.
Also, DH is still getting his accupuncture done and we got another sperm test done after 3 months of treatment and it has gone from 15% to 30%, we get another test done in 2 months.
I hope everyone is doing well  |

I hope everyone is doing well  | Welcome back, as to your results, I can't remember what mine were, but if the nurse says its normal it most likely is. That is amazing about the accupuncture, will be interesting to see how much more it increases over the next 2mths. Good luck ttc | | | | Status: Offline

Well we can only assume it was the accupuncture and herbal teas that he's been given by the accupuncturist, he hasn't been doing anything different.
Time will tell with the next test and whether or not the motility rate has continued to improve. We sure hope so, otherwise its a trip to the fertility specialist and a whole new chapter in this journey of ours
The break definitely did us both good, it was just consuming us and our whole lives and we just couldn't take it anymore.
Its still very hard obviously and each baby we see doesn't get any easier, nor does each birth and pregnancy we hear about, but we're much stronger now.
And i'm glad to see that your pregnancy is going well!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | When will the next test be? I hope the rate has improved what a nice success so far, really pleased for you - you must be
Lovely to see you have bonded together and stayed strong that alone will end in success.
An thankies still a bit unreal after all are problems and how I was coping (or not).
Let us know as time goes on won't you I know sometimes the forum can be too much depending on circumstances but don't forget us  | | | | Status: Offline
