Yes well even though my DH has been through a vasectomy, then a reversal, he has offered to go get another vasectomy once we have completed our family through IVF 'just in case'!!

I know what you mean, I really do Lu!

Hi Ginger, well I remember when I found out about our male infertility I was... relieved! A strange reaction maybe, but for me it was good to know what was wrong instead of wondering wondering wondering. It felt like some of the pressure was taken off us and while we waited to start IVF we could just enjoy each other without even thinking about getting pregnant. Sounds weird, but maybe you know what I mean...? You sound like the perfect candidates for IVF and I've got everything crossed for you that the time goes quickly and you have success first time!

hey Ginger - Thats not good news. Atleast you can get the ball rolling quicker and know what you are dealing with now.

I wish you all the very best

Do you mind me asking - was your husbands sperm tests normal before you had this one done at FA?

A answer is good, and we know what we're dealing with. Technology is such that we have IVF as an option ...30 years ago, it would have been a different story. Plus, our income is such that we can go private too.

We have a really good lifestyle and diet, and the specialist said that there's not much we can change in that regard - we're both active, don't smoke, barely drink, eat lots of fresh fruit and veges and fresh foods ...all the right things.

Anyway, it'll be ok. We just need a bit of help

Unless I can rearrange Al's shifts etc in the meantime, our next appointment with the specialist is on 15th June.]]> Mon, 21 May 2007 13:02:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7690&PID=148448&title=were-unexplained-no-longer#148448 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7690&PID=148423&title=were-unexplained-no-longer#148423 Author: tashzmum

DH had to do another semen analysis the other day, and I just got the results back. They're not good. The morphology is abnormal, and the motility is abnormal.   We're abnormal. Coupled with my endo, it changes things dramatically according to the specialist.

Bugger.

Still, I told the specialist that we want to go ahead with an IVF cycle later in the year, and there is no barrier to it now. We'll go on the public waiting list also, no questions asked.

Bugger, bugger, bugger.
