Fertility specialist advice?

Question

My husband and I just finished up our fetility tests and the only hard evidence we found is his count and motility were low it's been 18 months of trying and nothing has happened... Our doctors recommended ivf and seeing an RE as our next step anyone have any advice? I'm 26 and my husband is 25 I want a family of 4 and I feel like if we wait much longer that will never be possible 😟

Answer

Definitely see an RE! You have a clear answer now about why you weren't getting pregnant on your own and that is very helpful information! I tried for over a year before seeing an RE bc I was scared and turns out my husband had a Varicocele which was the reason for his poor sperm quality. He had surgery to correct it but bc results can take up to a year and there isn't a guarantee I did 1 round of IUI, then realized I could be spinning my wheels and needed to try IVF for best results. Went thru a fresh cycle, which failed then success with my first Frozen transfer!! I'm 21 weeks pregnant and couldn't be happier. (And still have 4 embryo "frosties" to try for future pregnancies) 
If there is one thing I learned its, don't wait! Also, You are a lot younger than you realize. I'm 31and want several kids and it's all possible :)

Answer

My husband started seeing fertility specialists when we were 23, so don't worry about your age. If you guys are ready to start your family then I don't see the harm in visiting a RE. They may not recommend IVF straight off the bat, but you never know until you see them and hear what they have to say. If you feel like your doctor is steering you in the wrong direction you could always get a second opinion.
