Got The Results Back

[ema-lou24]

of my OH sperm test.


Less than 5mill

20% mobility............not good.

Have a the docs on tues for both of us to get referred to the infertility clinic.

Has anyone been through this before? What have i to expect??x

 

[Mervs Mum]

I'm not sure hun but I didnt wanna read and run In the mean time have they given any advice on what he can be doing? Eating etc? He's not a smoker or anything?

 

[ema-lou24]

non smoker
non drinker...hes a right norm lol

told him to wear baggy clothes around that area, we will find out more i suppose when we go to the doctors.

only thing we can both think of is he worked with solvent ink for 3years at his old job

 

[Mervs Mum]

Maybe in the meantime you could get some of the mens TTC multi vitamins?

One of my friends has been through probs because her oh had poor sperm, and i know they had a few courses of ivf and support from the fertility specialists. I'm thinking of you hun, i remember how hard it is wanting a baby and not getting anywhere. I wish you lots of luck, and i know its easier said than done but try not to worry, your being sent to the right place to get the help you need x

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

i've got no experience of it, but wanted to send big

 

[evie_smith]

get him to eat lots and lots of cheese and unsalted nuts the told my oh and sister in laws oh to do this i think it just makes whats in their stronger maybe frozen peas wrapped in a hand towel to get what he has more active loose clothes and dont let him have hot baths. Hope everything works out well hun x x x

 

[ema-lou24]

mervs mum, where do i buy them vits? anything is worth a try!

katiejane, do u know if it was funded ivf ? did they have to wait long? my mind is mush!!

 

[mrsH2009]

Have no advice hun but he could always try father to be vitamins.

 

[evie_smith]

my sister in law is going to go through ivf soon they told her to get it funded she needed no kids to either partner and to be under 38 i think but its dif for areas i know if you egg donate they knock some of the price off x

 

[mrsH2009]

Here you go hun

They sell a his and hers pack in boots

 

[ema-lou24]

well OH has just basically told me it was never gonna happen for us, we cant afford IVF. so thats that. im gonna be one of those pathetic women that gets broooody at everything and cant have it.

 

[mrsH2009]

Try not to think like that hun

 

[ema-lou24]

he has just told me to my face, that it aint happening!

 

[Mervs Mum]

It's raw. He's feeling crap. Give him some time.

 

[mrsH2009]

He's hurting give him time. His man hood has just been questioned he's bound to get defensive it's what they do best

 

[ToffeePop]

He's probably feeling a little despondent at the moment, sweetie, and feeling like it's his fault and there's nothing he can do about that. Irrespective of his past job possibly causing issues etc, there are a few things he can do to improve his swimmers and I'm sure a doctor will also be able to provide more details on that one for you both

For one thing, it's times like these that will also show how strong your relationship is and that is SO important - that you're both there for each other

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

its all really raw for him atm hun and he's probabl more upset than he's letting on, you know what men and their spermies are like i think all the funding rules are different in scotland than they are here xx

 

[ema-lou24]

i know, but everytime im trying to be there for him im getting it flung back in my face and the small little digs that hes doing are doing my head in, i.e....that wanker can give u a kid but i cant! grrrr

im trying to be there for him but hes pushing me away and even tho i felt positive, hes ruined that for me 2

 

[evie_smith]

awww hun you might be able to get ivf funded best to chat to people when you go to the fertility clinic as you both have never had a baby togther even if it is half funded if you do egg donation they might be able to fund you for nothing just give him some time hun x x x
