It’s bin a week since I got a positive result 4 days before we discussed with the consultant about starting ivf in 6 months if clomid wasn’t successful but to our surprise it was! I got a letter today which explains about my husbands sperm morphology that he had poor DNA fragmentation once iv Googled this as you do it goes on to say this can be a main reason for miscarriage and other birth defects after already having two miscarriages I am petrified and can’t help getting upset never mind the thought of actually going full term to have an poorly baby iv bin so positive an now I’m just in panicked mode anyone had a hubby with poor dna fragmentation

Awh bless. Try not to ruin the present happy moment with the terror thoughts. No body knows what each day brings. I think it’s totally normal for ivf crew to be like this though because we know all the ins and outs. Wouldn’t it be lovely to breeze along like the regular people ? 🙄 try to find some things to keep you calm in THIS moment . Nothing you do or don’t do will change the outcome . You’ve done your best and now it’s up to the big man upstairs or whatever you believe . Give yourself a break and breathe. You are doing the best you can 😘

Hugs and understanding

Ps my husbands sperm results had a big red mark on the screen ! Poor shape, morphology , motility , count etc etc etc. Couldn’t have been any worse other than not being there . 🥴 we only got one blastocyst . I can’t change whatever happens with it now. Just have to let it runs it’s course and see 🤷🏼‍♀️ If not ..... try again .
