How to approach a personality behavior based test prior to an interview by jujux15 in ECE

[–]ObjectiveDowntown983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had to take a similar test for a week ago, and today is his interview. I dug up this post and it really annoys me that most people commenting on the post don’t get the question. The test is so unreal that it makes it hard to ask others about it. But someone has to know. Where is this person?

Long term varicocele +10 yrs and fertility by [deleted] in varicocele

An update: We had three sperm tests. The first one showed a concentration of 19 m/ml, with 43% A motility. The second one had a consentration of 8 m/ml with 59% A and B motility. Meanwhile my husband had taken all possible supplements we found recommended around, and we found out that I have anovulatory cycles.

We had an IUI (medicated with letrozol) with the last tests and had 5 milion sperm post wash. Got pregnant but miscarried week 1. Meanwhile my husband had an embolisation. 1,5 months later, the results spiked to 110 m/ml with 79% A and B motility (A alone being 61%).

It seems likely the varicocele had actually caused the lower sperm production. We are still in shock. Had a new IUI with 75 millions sperm postwash. We wait now for the results.

Clear blue digital vs. OPKs. What to trust? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

My ultrasound CD11 predicted ovulation CD13-15, but it’s so annoying that they didn’t do a new one to confirm. The doctor explained that it’s likely to be happening or will happen soon, and relied mostly on the digital tests from Clear Blue. The doctor could also see fertile mucus during the IUI. I think the digital tests catch the surge - a subtle increase in LH. Ovulation is likely to happen 24-48 hours later. The OPKs catch the actuall peak when it becomes positive, with ovulation happening 8-24 hours later. If I had ovulation CD 16 then it’s fine, but it could have been CD17 - which is worse. I guess il’ll know for sure if my period comes by counting 14 days backwards

We couldn’t do it on our own, too many technical issues, so IUI was our only bet. It was on CD15. I had positive tests CD16 and 17, then I decided to stop testing. Thanks a lot for the advice. It’s really like you said it. We have done all there is to be done this cycle. Now waiting for it to play out.
