April 29 2013 Infertility blues journey


April 29 2013
It has been over two months now when I last blogged here and share some of the low experiences of our lives due to infertility. 
As what Ive said on my past blog, we are heading to philippines to take it easy and enjoy rather that strictly work hard everyday, thus we are now here - relaxing, enjoying, eating and ofcourse enabling some more justifications on why we are not yet to conceive and how to make a baby as soon as we find more reasons why. 
Suprisingly, after a yearlong of heavy treatments and tests done in the states, there was a new one that we just found out here in the philippines and that was the sperm dna fragmentation test. After we came home here, my aunt decided to bring us to a faith healer so we could be healed and hopefully get pregnant naturally., of course, we hoped, we prayed, we held on our faith more stronger because in our minds God was still and will always be the giver of life so we gave it a chance. Hoping that it would give a miracle but my period came last month as expected (no regrets) and so we tried to go to a doctor to give us some more help and that was when he told peng to do the test.
We did a few research in the internet and found out that most of mens infertility issues was due to high levels of dna fragmentation and it said there and anywhere from 25 to greater than 30% would give you poor quality fertility, that also explained why our ivf cycle failed because pengs first test was marked 32%. Again, we were devastated and down to our knees. 
The doctor said that gluthation iv could help lesses the fragmentations and could also help me become more fertile so it was a necessity for us to have the shot every week for 4 weeks.
Peng did the test again lastweek as the nurse said they have to redo it for the new machine they have just for certainty and the result came down to 19%! Great news of course!
Now that our problem is slowly improving another new hope was brought into us again. We just hope that soon enough we would know that we’re finally pregnant..
for now, we are still patiently waiting just like what we did the past year and months :(
