What should we do now?!

Question

My husband and I have been TTC for 14 months now.
 We are being seen by a reproductive endocrinologist. I have PCOS and my husband just had his SA done and it came back severe male factor and they want to retest my question is has Anyone else been in the position? 
What did you do when you found out? 
How did you handle it emotionally?
I’ve heard stories where is some men have went and seen the urologist. This is all new to him and I.

Answer

I have pcos, after two SA it was confirmed my hubby had low counts.  We were told we could do ivf or he could see a urologist and we could see what the outcome of that was (both we had to pay out of pocket for).  We went the ivf route, im 16 weeks pregnant with a little girl, and we have 2 other frozen embryos for future children.  Once our life is a little less chaotic my husband will see the urologist in hope that in the future we could maybe not have to go through ivf again (if our other two embryos don’t stick).  I always knew I’d have a problem conceiving (gut feeling idk how to explain it) but it hit him really hard to know he had an issue too.  Just comfort each other, grieve, and figure out the best way forward for the two of you.  Ivf we felt was the best option for us at the time because we didn’t want to wait much longer to see if the urologist could help.  On the day of my egg retrieval his sample only had 300k sperm in it.  We did icsi and out of 7 eggs, 5 fertilized and 3 made it to freeze as high quality blasts.  You don’t need many sperm with icsi, which I think is truly an amazing thing.  Good luck, I promise there will be a good outcome for you.

Answer

My DH has two SA and they both came back extremely low. He is awaiting an appointment with a urologist. We are also on a wait list for IVF which is (8-12 months). I am having some further testing done such as a dye test as well. It’s emotionally draining but just try to remain positive.

Answer

After my Husbands semen analysis we were told IVF is our only option for ever having children, emotionally it’s extremely difficult because IVF is $14,000 and I feel like I will never be able to become pregnant. I have cervical cancer, endometriosis and a genetic disorder along with my husband who has low count, Motility & Morphology. It’s depressing month after month, year after year. We’ve been trying naturally for 10 years, 4 of which have been with assisted fertility. I’ve been on Clomid, Femara, Metformin. We are determined and try to stay positive, all we can do is wait and save money so we can get our IVF done!

Answer

My husband has had 2 sperm analysis and is seeing a urologist next. 
This might sound selfish but now that i know it’s not me, it’s eased up my feeling of failure. I had changed my diet, took supplements, you name it, I tried it.
However, my husband is now emotional when we talk about it. I cry every month when I see a bfn then af, so now I feel like I have to hide that emotion a little to not hurt his feelings.
