I'm so sorry to hear that lovely ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I hope you don't mind me asking, but your ticker says TTC for only 3 months; what made you think at this early stage that something might be wrong? x
didn't realise it has been such a struggle for you to conceive
Thanks ladies
I know there is nothing anyone can say, it's nice to have lots of hugs though
I've been going over the results and they are so bad...
He produced the minimum 2ml semen sample.
His semen is too viscous.
He had a 5mil/ml concentration instead of the 20mil/ml normal minimum.
Only 4% of his sperm cells are moving normally.
A massive 82% of his sperm cells are totally useless.
He has to go for a second test in a few weeks incase they make a miraculous recovery and the doctor said IVF would be the best option but they probably won't be in a rush to give it us because he isn't technically infertile.
I'm going to be going for tests next cycle, half hoping i'm not working as intended too so that it gives us an angle for IVF.
Everything upto this point feels like such a bloody waste and i'm clearly not going to be getting pregnant anytime soon, and i'll miss the local baby boom too.
LouiseB, so sorry to hear this but keep strong, show the Drs that they can't get you down by their opinions/comments. My OH had some similar results with only 4% normal so we went into overdrive on getting him healthy (cut down on caffeine, less cycling and using laptop on lap, uping exercise etc and mainly took lots of Fertil Aid. 3 months later his SA has improved. There are lots of vits out there to try and they may work for you!x x x
I know how you feel about the not knowing part, because I had the same feeling before I got pregnant, I had had a couple of long term partners and they never used protection and I got nothing not even a false pos. So I lied to doctors saying I'd been with same guy for over a year I soon had some tests done. I found out I had PCOS so that was the reason behind my irregular periods I was due to have an xray to see if my tubes were blocked but I was waiting for period to come for ages when my partner was like test please I was in denial about it all... Just keep your chin up, the month I got pregnant my partner did his sperm sample which we never found out the results for. (wouldn't give them to me over the phone)I hope you don't mind me asking, but your ticker says TTC for only 3 months; what made you think at this early stage that something might be wrong? x
I don't mind you asking, it's no secret
Concerns about myself stem from me having had two long term relationships and not using any protection and yet never being pregnant. The first relationship lasted 3 years and my current relationship about 5 years.
Concerns about my husband stem from his never having got me pregnant and his age and his diabetes.
Add those elements to the fact that i'm very impatient and very thorough and very logical - it is just in my nature to seek answers rather than wait around confused. I don't believe that the same equation can have different results - why should the same two people doing the same thing not get pregnant one month and then get pregnant the month after that? It doens't make sense to me, something has to be different.
I'm much happier knowing the worst and dealing with it (after the initial shock)
Don't stop trying, the stats for people getting pregnant whilst waiting for IVF are extremely high. xx
What fertility tests have you had done so far on you? Blood? Ultrasound?
