So my husband and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time now. In December I decided it was time for both of us to get checked out to see if everything was ok. My husbands sperm are apparently the supermen of sperm. Go him! We then found out that my egg count is extremely low, I have endometriosis, multiple cysts, and fibroids. Obviously not quite what I was hoping for. I immediately met with an infertility specialist to go over my options. After some testing she decided to start with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>. I went in on day 3 of my cycle and had my ultrasound and blood work to see if I was ready to start the pills and shots. Shocker...the cysts were producing estrogen so I was unable to take the shots because they would make the cysts bigger. So I just stuck with the pills. I went in yesterday to see if I was ready for my trigger shot. Finally some good news! I went home and the hubby did the injection. Piece of cake! This morning I went, cup in hand, to drop off my husbands semen for them to prepare for insemination. About an hour and a half later I got a phone call saying that there were literally no sperm in the sample I brought them. Not one. Not even a dead one. I know that it was just my first time and that hopefully things will get better. I just literally feel like one bad thing after another continuously happens. I feel like I’m drowning. I can’t talk to any of my friends or family because no one has gone through this so all I get it “it will get better” or “aww I’m so sorry”. And they mean well but it just doesn’t help. I felt like turning to the glow community might shed some light. Sorry for the long post. Just needed to get it out!
