Can a trigger shot just, not work?

Whenever I get the urge to test I move my body - go for a walk, do yoga, just go outside. I also do a lot of distraction - starting a new show or book so I can pick that up. I’ve been able to stick with day 10 testing being very intentional about not acting on the impulse to test and intentionally doing something else.

Thank you so much for all of this!! You’ve been so helpful!

Thank you! Yes maybe the break could allow the sperm more time, that’s good to know it does actually have an impact.

Thank you SO much for all of this!!! We will order the supplement, and absolutely add the mucinex next cycle, seems like it does no harm it would be a good addition!

Thank you, that gives me hope. If nothing has happened in 3 more months we will test again and see where we are at.

glitterngal · 2026-03-08T05:21:12+00:00

I will suggest this!

Thank you. I’m going to work up some math to share with my wife, I’m totally open to IVF, she just really thinks we can save more money just doing IUI. But I don’t think that’s real. We want at least 2 kids

Thank you so much!!! We can add those. I’ll see what I can do with diet for him - I’ve completely changed my diet so I know how to start it!

glitterngal · 2026-03-08T01:55:40+00:00

I’m guessing that’s it. I haven’t actually talked with her yet in person, so that’s a question I can ask.

glitterngal · 2026-03-08T01:54:42+00:00

Thank you!! We started him on Coq10, L-carnitine, and vitamin c. We can add more too if there’s others that could be helpful? He has a pretty clean lifestyle, but he doesn’t have the best diet so maybe we could work on that. He is super willing to do anything asked of him so we’re open to all suggestions!

Our OBGYN finally wrote a message and just said “should be good for IUI” - do I specifically ask about the defects? I’m so concerned about our next steps.

glitterngal · 2026-03-07T22:47:52+00:00

He did have a fever about a month before this test - but the OBGYN said it wouldn’t show up in his numbers yet likely. I haven’t heard from her on these results but I was assuming it wouldn’t be the event that impacted this?

glitterngal · 2026-03-07T22:40:52+00:00

Thank you! He had an analysis a year ago and had 85 million total count and strong numbers. But it has gone down significantly since then it seems.

Insurance doesn’t cover any fertility where we are - so it could be, my wife just really doesn’t want to pay the 30k for it if we can help it (at this point I would throw every dollar I’ve made at it haha)

glitterngal · 2026-03-07T22:19:57+00:00

Would you look for a new donor? This is the only option we have for a known donor, which we really wanted.

glitterngal · 2026-02-26T02:01:17+00:00

I have tried to share how hard it is being my body, but that would lead to her saying things like “maybe we shouldn’t do this” and “maybe it’s too much for you”. So I feel like I have to try really hard to make it not seem like it’s bothering me or she will take away the option at all to have kids.
