Intro - Dealing with male infertility
Find a Conversation

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about six months. I took Clomid for three months and had a bunch of tests done to find out that everything is ok with me and the next step was to get DH SA done. Almost a month ago, we found out the results of his SA which was not good at all. His results were bad in all areas they look at. They told me he needs to see a urologist and we scheduled the first available appointment which isn't until May.
So, here we are a month later and I still am not sure how to deal with this. I'm trying to tell myself that whatever it is could be fixable, but the wait of another month seems like eternity. We've been trying to be proactive and switched him from briefs to boxers and he started taking some supplements.
It seems like we've got a long road ahead of us, and I'm looking for any advice anyone who has dealt with this can give me - anything from how to get your mind off of this to anything else we can do to be proactive?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Katie,
Thought I'd see how you're doing and give you an update on me and my hubby.
Hey Julia,
It's nice to hear from you again. I have been thinking about you lately knowing that your appointment was coming up and was going to write. You beat me to it.
My hubby has been on clomid for almost a month and has had his testosterone levels checked twice now. First level doubled, which brought his counts up to the normal range. MD was pleased but said for fertility purposes he would like them higher so he increased his dose of clomid. Second testosterone level increased a little bit but not like the first time. MD wants to stay where we are at now and come back and see him in July for another SA. So it looks like we are in the waiting game together again. I know you were probably hoping like I was to have a stronger plan after seeing urologist, but remember,
Hey Julia-
Just checking in to see how things are going and if you have gotten your husbands lab results back. Things here are still the same. Hubby still taking clomid and will return to urologist on July 9th. Hope things are well.

Hi, Katie,
How are you?
Sorry it took me a while to respond.
Julia,
Congrats MOM!!! I am sooo excited for you.
That is soo wonderful,
Wow!What a surprise!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you!!! Yeah! I am glad that everything is checking out ok. How are you feeling? What made you do a pregancy test? Were you late, experiencing pregnancy signs??? What a shock for the urologist I bet. Are you guys thinking about freezing his sperm in case the MD is right or are you going to take your chances since you got pregnant without intervention?
Thanks for keeping me in your prayers and I will do my best to stay positive. I will definately be keeping you in my prayers. I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy. I hope that you will keep in touch. Take care and best of luck.
