I know this may be reaching however i am wondering if anyone else's hubbys had to do this test. The one they say that takes 6 months to get the results? My question is did it really end up taking 6 months to get them? My hubby had his done mid September so 4 1/2 months ago and i was hoping there was a chance on getting the results sooner? The urologist wont do the biopsy until they come in. Patience is a very hard thing to learn!

Yep, It did take almost 6 months in Edmonton. I think the speed of the lab results is really depend on the clinic/lab. Unfortunately here it does take this long. The clinic can ask them to speed it up, but it may reduce the time only a little bit. 4 and half month down, it is only 1-1.5 month and get the result. Stay positive

Only 3 weeks for us in Montreal. I'll stop complaining...Karyotype + micro deletion search = 800$ + 3 weeks at private clinic but 80% paid for by DH's insurance... I belive they said it was 4 months if we went public.
Me - 37 - Poor responder
Him - 39 - Low count and morphology
DS born Jan 2014 following:
- 2 failed natural-IVF's
- 2 natural-IVF BFN's
- 1 failed IVF
- 1 almost-failed IVF producing only one embryo
DD born Dec 2015 following:
- 1 IVF+PICSI leaving us 5 frozen embryos!
Going back for Baby3!
FET may 2018 - No embryo survived thawing
Surprise natural pregnancy!

I feel a little cheated to be honest. If I would have known I would have gone anywhere to get this test if I could have gotten the results sooner. I cant believe the timings are so drastically different. Is Edmonton so busy that there is just a 6 month backlog to run the 5 day test? I dont understand.

I believe the wait has everything to do with alberta health care, the cost of running the test and the fact that its not really a priority test....in the eyes of the government anyways!
It does upset me that our blood sat in a freezer or something somewhere for six months and my re's nurse still had to call and get things going. Who knows how much longer it could have been.

It just makes me mad! This is the richest province of the country with the highest GDP per capita. Still our healthcare system is so much worse then other provinces. Lots of treatments/tests are not available, much fewer services are funded and they actually purposely make you wait longer for things for save a few buck??? It just blows my mind.I believe the wait has everything to do with alberta health care, the cost of running the test and the fact that its not really a priority test....in the eyes of the government anyways!

I wish i would have been given the opportunity. Although to be honest i wasnt at the doctors appointment but my husband said he was given no options. The joy of not being allowed at hubby's appointments cause he is military. Even more frustrating

We were told between 2-4 months.
Becky (35) Unexpectedly widowed in Feb 2013. The night after my ER. I was married to an incredible man named Chris.
Son, age 6
TTC #2 (his first) since our wedding in July 2011.
Dec 1, 2011- Found out he has azoospermia (no sperm in SA.) Totally heartbroken and shocked.
Jan 2012- First consult at fertility clinic.
March 2012- My tests show high LH but everything else was normal. His LH/FSH were high, testosterone was really low. (4.2)
May 17, 2012- Official Dx of testicular failure and non-obstructive azoo. Given the option of mTESE, TESA or using a donor.
June 7, 2012- Urologist is seeing us again per our request. We need him to answer some questions about the procedures and testosterone. He would not consider Clomid or any hormones for DH.
June 27, 2012- Saw RE and decided to proceed with dIUI. Told we needed one cycle on the BCP because of my high LH.
June 28, 2012- Started BCP for 21 days. Did pre-IUI micro and blood testing on July 3rd. Told they should be in on time for IUI in early August.
July 21, 2012- CD1. Called clinic and found out my cycle was canceled. They messed up and my file wasn't ready. They forgot to draw vit D and some other results are missing.
August 9, 2012- Nurse left message saying they cannot do this cycle either. Now it will take 2-3 MONTHS for DH's blood tests before we can use donor sperm.
August 10, 2012- RE called. DH has a reactive Hepatitis C blood test and they are trying to figure out if he's got an active infection or was exposed in the past.
August 23, 2012- He's Hep C NEGATIVE! Phew!
October 2012- Latest SA results still shows azoo, but we're glad the testosterone looks normal now. dIUI after 21 days on the pill. Clomid for cd3-7, LH is too high (17 and 14.6) and progestone getting too high. Had 3, 13.5mm folliciles and my lining is 8.6. CD13- Lining was good, triple layer at about 9. Now I just have one 17.5mm follicle on my left side.
October 17, 2012- dIUI canceled. Clomid didn't work, estrogen too low, LH was normal again and progesterone was off too. Now we need an appointment to talk to our RE again to start over.
Dec 2012- Saw RE and we have to do IVF/ICSI, even with a donor. So, we decided to throw in a TESA with donor backup. Bloodwork this cycle, BCP and mock in Jan and hopefully a Feb IVF/ICSI/TESA!
IVF #1
Mock done, teaching visit done. Started Suprefact on Jan 30. AF arrived on schedule.
Baseline done, starting Gonal-F and Luveris Feb 11.
Stim day 4- 1 follicle at 11mm, 40 more under 10. My lining is already a triple lining and at 8.6
Stim day 6- 8-9 follices between 11-13mm at least 20 more under 10mm. This doctor saw my lining at 6.3? Encouraged to walk because my circulation to my uterus wasn't what they wanted to be this time. No idea what that means.
Stim day 8- 14 follicles. All measuring between 11 and 15 with more under 10. Lining is over 10. Circulation is good again. They are letting me skip my day 9 appointment.
Stim day 10- TRIGGER tonight! I have 14 between 15-21mm, a few more at 14 that may catch up. Lining is over 10. DH's TESA is tomorrow.
Feb 21- No sperm found with TESA. ER tomorrow with donor sperm.
Feb 22- ER was successful! Collected 18 eggs. 7 from my right and 8 on my left. We can skip ICSI because the donor's sperm is great. Crossing fingers for a good fert report tomorrow.
June 2013- Updating. My husband, Chris, passed away unexpectedly of Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome just hours after my ER on Feb 23. Had 14 fertilize. 9, 5-day frozen blasts are at the clinic waiting for me to make some decisions.
FET #1
June 2014- 5-day blast. BFN just in time for what would have been our 3rd anniversary.
FET#2
August 2014. FET #2 on Aug 25 with another 5-day blast. BFP! Had scare with a bleed at 4w5d, but beta is still doubling. Due May 13, 2015. Ultrasound on Oct 5.
Oct 5- 8w4d- Blighted Ovum. Stopping estrogen and progesterone. Waiting to miscarry. Looking forward to moving on with life.
Oct 17- D&C. Feeling peace about being at the end of the infertility battle. Looking forward to the next chapter in my life.

Yes indeed it was more than 6 months for us in Edmonton. I had called the clinic at one point and the pathologist told me that they were 5 months behind. I asked my ONGYN at the time to call for me to expedite things as we did not want to try to get pregnant if there was a genetic issue causing our losses. He had the nerve to tell me that he had already done enough for me (as in faxed some of my tests to a RE) and that calling another Dr was very inappropriate and I was asking too much. Welcome to Alberta Health Care is right. In Alberta there is not an option to pay for the test, as I surely would have. When you are dealing with IF every Dr will tell you that time is ticking and age is a big risk factor, yet we still have to wait 6 months to get 1 silly test done. It is very rare that karyotype will be abnormal, but still needed to figure out why 1 has 4 F---ing m/c and what route to take is very key!!

Our genetic councellor told me it depends on the emergency (at least in Montreal). Mine was ready in 1 week exactly although they told me initially to expect the results in 6 weeks.

My Dh's karotyping blood test took 4 months in Calgary in 2008. Of course, theyn won't start your cycle until that result comes back as normal.
Seems like now it's even a longer wait now! The waiting and waiting and waiting when dealing with IF really sucks!

I can't believe how long this test takes! Our FS has suggested that this is the next step for DH and I (she wants us both to get tested). Since I have DOR I'm not looking forward to having to wait 6 months to try again! Hopefully she'll be able to do something to get us some results faster.

Our urologist would not schedule a biopsy without it. Our fertility clinic also ask that we have it done prior to our initial visit. This was the longest wait so far for us in our Journey. We waited almost 6 months for the results and had our initial appointment at the urologist on April 4. Because all his tests came back neg she scheduled the surgery for May 1st and we visit the fertility clinic May 24/25

We were in a situation that we had amino done and had some atypical results. So both DH and I had our blood karotyped here in Victoria and we got the results in a couple of weeks.....maybe cause they were looking for something in particular though.....
Good luck....
