Opinion?
Let me give you a little background story, I have a hypothyroid which was diagnosed at 13 and, PCOS I was diagnosed with it when I was 16. I really didn't think much into it because, well, I wasn't trying to conceive, and if I wasn't having a period, that's pretty cool, right? Until facial hair began, losing weight started becoming a problem, and finally the thought "I wonder if conceiving is going to be a issue". Well this past November 2015, I got pregnant, completely unplanned. But I was so happy for the news. Even though the pregnancy wasn't planned, I wanted that baby more than anything. Ultimately my pregnancy ended with a miscarriage, I wasn't far along at all. But that was still MY baby, and I lost it.
Obviously I wanted to try again. So I went back to my doctor and he started me on metformin 1500 mg 3 times a day. I was sick from it, but I pushed through the horrible symptoms. He had told me that he wasn't worried about my SO getting a sperm analysis because "he had already knocked me up once" and was pretty sure that I was the one with the issues. So a couple months go by and I continue to take metformin, took one round of provera to start a period, got one, then 24 days later I got another. Went to the doctor he said in 5 more weeks you will be ready to start Clomid. Then he asked "have you decided to do the sperm analysis?" He went on to say that it was up to me, because he feels that since he "already knocked me up once, his swimmers were fine." So I left his office, I get another period , 34 days after the last.
So yesterday was my appointment, and I was super excited to go in and finally get this Clomid process started. My doctor came in, and he shook my hand and asked some of the typical questions. And he said "so we're ready to start Clomid then?!" And I said "yes sir!" So he had me
Take a couple notes (Clomid instructions) then he asked "so your SO Sperm analysis came back good then?" And I kinda looked at him surprised and said I thought you said you weren't concerned on him getting one? And he just shook his head and went on saying that he needs to grow up and just get it done, to act like a man and it isn't a big deal to "jack off in a cup" that if he can't handle jacking off in a cup how will he be able to handle getting up at 3 am with a child. He said he isnt impressing me right now and I think you really need to sit and think about this before you go down this road, and can you imagine what it will be like with his mother involved. He was just completely belittling my SO... In my opinion for no reason, and it seems like it came out of nowhere.. We don't have a problem with getting his sperm tested, the doctor was the one that didn't have much urgency for it in the beginning, and this seemed like it came from no where.. I have never had a doctor speak to me like that..
