I get to go back on hormones!
(Sorry in advance to anyone who knows me in person and is weirded out by this too-much-information post.)
Just got a call from the lab tech at the fertility clinic I ended up going to and he said he was able to recover four viable samples from second ‘deposit,’ for a total of five viable samples. (Which means that if/when I chose to use ‘em, I’ll have five tries.)
So I get to go back on hormones!
It’s not all great news, as the samples apparently had about 50% mobility, which means I have tired, lazy sperm. As a result, if/when the samples are used my partner will have to be impregnated by in-vitro fertilisation, rather than artifical insemination. There’s sort of nothing to do about that now (ideally, I would have made the deposits before going on hormones at all, and hopefully had a higher mobility rate) but IVF is more expensive and more medically complicated than artifical insemination, which is unfortunate.
All in all, I’m ready to go home right now and start popin’ hormone pills again.
