Tonight's crop (46 hours of abst) didn't blow my metaphorical skirt up. While some views were quite good with easily 25 average to better swimmers and lots of "wigglers," there were vast fields of less than 5-10. Also- a lot of the better swimmers appeared to have poorly formed tails.
Thoughts: This is intriguing in several aspects.
- Is the increase in wigglers and flattening of swimmers in some of the fields good?
- Is the decrease in overall swimmers something to be concerned about?
- Do the poorly formed tails on the good swimmers mean anything? Did they get shot out prematurely due to the rigorous pipe cleaning on Saturday?
This is not encouraging, but I'll chalk it up to starting from very clean pipes on after Saturday night. Gut check tells me we will be shelling out for ICSI if something doesn't start to shake. Damn it.
On a tactical front today it occurred to me that the low T is something to leverage in the near term: I made some calls to my general practitioner today to see if they could do some referring around with reference to my blood work. Hoping to get my "treatment" onto insurance since this low of T isn't exactly normal or healthy for a late 30's male. At the very least I'd like to get my blood work and next SA paid for. A bit of a gamble since the GP is going to stick me for a 100 bucks to get the referral. It's fucking extortion since the bastards have been worthless thus far in anything on my swim team. Candystripers from the local high school would have been more useful in diagnosing male infertility. The jackass general practictioner should have at least prescribed the blood work when I went there in the first place and told them my motility sucked.
Sorry for the salty sailor talk. I'm a prick when a licensed "professional" gouges a customer.
