Everything went great yesterday. They got 700,000 with 50% motility. Although the doc says it kind of a low number it is exactly what we needed!! YEAH! As I said in my previous post my Mom came with us yesterday. Well, after we got the result my Mom and I were crying (happy tears of course) for at least 3 hrs on and off. I still can't believe it. I feel like this is a dream and I am going to wake up soon. It is soooo unbelievable. I am elated. Yesterday was such a roller coaster ride but it was well worth it. I cried saying goodbye to DH when he had to go to the holding room. I kept somewhat calm while waiting..Thanks Mom...and then once we found out I couldn't wait to see him. I couldn't wait to tell him that he is going to be a DAD!!! Hehehehe...its an awesome feeling.
He is actually feeling really good today. He hasn't taken any pain medication since we left the hospital. He is such a trooper. I don't know if I could go without it, but he keeps telling me that it really isn't that bad. He has a scrotal support on so I think that is helping too and we have been using ice packs on and off. As for the next steps in our journey, I have my HSG on monday (can you believe it? The timing of my cycle couldn't be any better) and then on the 19th we have our IVF consult and the RE will do my u/s then. We hadn't done any of that up until now because we wanted to see what happened with DH. It's so incredible. I feel like everything is one big whirl wind now. I 100% believe in the power of positivity now. Nothing will stop me from staying positvie. Somebody up there was listening and all I can say is THANK YOU!!!!! How does it work with starting IVF? Someone told me they might make me wait 1 full cycle before starting-does that sound right?

Congratulations! That's so great! I hope that the IVF and ICSI work and you don't have to wait much longer!
You will probably be put on BCP, then lupron to supress ovulation, then stims so the eggs will grow and grow. I started BCP on 4/10/06, got AF and started lupron on 4/24/06, began stims on 4/28/06, retrieval on 5/9/06, 3 day transfer on 5/13/06. I hope that gives you a good idea of timeline.
Good luck!

OH MY GOSH that is WONDERFUL news!! I am so excited for you and and I can totally imagine how incredibly happy you and your DH must be feeling. Congrats!!!!
Wow, wow, wow!!! Great news! That is really wonderful, and I hope you are able to start the IVF/ICSI soon. It took us a little while to get the meds together, do the bloodwork, etc. but we're also dealing with a back-up of donor sperm (more paperwork).
Keep us posted. Maybe we'll be cycling together?!

Crossing my fingers for you!
