Good to know we are not alone.
I am sure as you are aware it really takes a toll on our men, the who male ego thing is very true indeed.
My story is, I had a child at the age of 15, she is now 15. When I met my LH, I was 17. We didn't start trying until I was 20 something, I had stopped having a cycle for many years, but my OB/GYN at the time said I was still ovulating and that I had one child without a problem that I just take a test every month- Great advise right! So after almost over a year of monthly tears, and my LH and I hugging one another wondering why why why? My LH suggests changing dr.s. Well I never changed until like 3 years ago, and what a wonder dr she was (she now has left because she got pg--great), so anyways. My OB/GYN said she would do what ever needed to get us pg. We did his SA and scheduled my HSG along with many more tests. Well my HSG came up that I had a tube blocked but my Dr said that was noting to be discouraged about.
Then like two weeks had passed and I had heard nothing in regards to my LH's SA. so I called the Dr. office. A day that I will never forget. The nurse saying.."HOld on, I think something is wrong with these results." she put me on hold for like felt forever and then she came back and said, "I'm sorry he has zero sperm in his analysis." My GOD I thought. I just started crying. SHe refered me to a urologist.
So I had to go and tell him the horrible news. Needless to say, that we shed many many tears that night.
We went to the urologist, he had run all the test possible and had no logical reason why he was coming up with a big fat zero. He said possibly a blockage within one of the tubes in the testies.
Now it was time to call an RE, so he had a "its not a big deal" kinda attitude, which had me rather left confused.
He sent us to a specialist, and that Dr. was amazing. He made me and my LH really feel like there was hope. He said that the amount of money we would spend to try and unblock the tube, would be the same as IVF, and unblocking could still lead to zero count because of scar tissue after the procedure.
He felt very confident that he will find sperm and that everything will work out.
Oh course everything now it is just a matter of saving now to have everything done, because our insurance does not cover IVF.
Now that is my story-- sorry for it being so long.
I do feel better knowing that I'm not alone here. and I would like to keep in touch in regards with our journeys
