Idk what to do :( my husband and I have been ttc for 6 months. We’re 28 and we were originally hoping for 2-3 children if possible. I had the weirdest feeling that something just wasn’t right so I went with my gut and we did some noninvasive testing. So far, my blood work has come back normal, but my husbands semen analysis was a mess. Significantly low sperm count, motility, and morphology. High viscosity and ph. Basically in every category we were out of the normal range by a LARGE margin. We repeated the test just to make sure it wasn’t a mistake and the numbers came back basically the same. We saw an rei the other day and she wants to do additional blood work on me and test to make sure my tubes are clear. So we don’t even know if that’s a problem yet. She prescribed another SA for my husband but also said he needs to go to the urologist to make sure nothing else is wrong/see if anything else can be done to improve the numbers. She said as it stands right now if there is no significant change in the numbers <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> with icsi is our best and most likely option to conceive. My question is, am I premature in getting the ball rolling on this (keeping in mind that even if I start these tests and stuff at the end of October/beginning of November, the actual <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> process probably wouldn’t start until January earliest by the time we finish everything preliminary- and also obviously if something is fixable in that time we’d do that and follow whatever the doctors say). I guess I’m just freaking out because <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> is scary and usually when people do it I hear “oh we’ve been trying for 2 years etc”. That’s not our case. But is it irrelevant because we know there is a diagnosable issue that is preventing us from getting pregnant and this is the answer? Or do we keep trying a little and pray for a miracle? I don’t want to jump the gun if maybe we can conceive naturally but I also don’t want to put off <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> if I know that it’s our only viable option with just a 2-3% chance of conceiving without it. But that’s not zero? Ugh idk. Help!
