Q: male infertility
asked by: Kaylynnsmom on August 4th, 2008

My husband has undergone 12 months of testing for infertility and his diagnosis is "unexlained Infertility" I dont' think I've ever felt more depressed in my entire life! I have my good freind that I see every day and my sister pregant right now and they always want to talk about and I just can't bare even talking about it or even seeing a baby. We have been denied the most basic of human abilities and that's hard to deal with. I see ! And here we finally decide we're ready and our dream was shot down in flames. How do peoplle deal with infertility like this. I just need some support. I have no one to talk to about this really. I don't want my husband feeling like he let me down because it's not like he can control this but I do need to talk about it sometimes. Friends and family who know about our situation just offer us false hope and options we're not interested in like adoption and donors. Such a hopeless feeling right now...

I'm so sorry to hear that. I guess all i can say is that you're just going to have to come to turms with it ( I mean that in the nicest possible way!!!) that's all you can do. You'll greave for a while and then you're going to have to pick yourself back up and carry on. Sometimes things in life are just not fair. We are all faced with things in life that aren't fair. Some more than others. But we have to carry on right.
You could try seeing a psychologist. Cognitive therapy can be quite useful.
I hope you start to feel better soon. xo

Thank you for the words of support. I know I'll have to come terms and accept things they way they've been dealt to us. It will just take a long time to heal this knife through the heart but we'll get there. Thanks again

hello
Hello, I'm really sorry to hear about the horrible news u got,I can imagine how u feel, my husband and I r trying for 2 years and just the thought of us never concieving kills me, I know I'm not the best person to tell u this,but all I can say its for u to be strong and support ur husband, its very sad not being able to have ur own kid,sometimes life its just not fair and things happen for an unknown reason, also I know adoption its not in ur mind but for the future I really think u should give it a chance nobody can take the right of being a parent away from u,I don't want to bring ur hopes up but sometimes miracle happens u just got to have to believe, I husband's cousin was told he couldn't never have kids, now 20 years married he has a beautiful 10 year old boy, how did it happen? Not even doctors know its was a miracle from life, so never give up, be strong look at the possitive side of life,try not to think about it anymore(I know it would be really hard) but u can do it, now that ur friend and sis r having a baby,get involve help them out, u gonna feel like a second mom. I honestly wish u the best, whenever u feel down remeber that nothing in this world is impossible. Take care and I hope u can come out of this with ur head up and loving ur husband more than ever!

Many people being told that they can't have kids end up having them. And it seems like when they get to terms with it is when they get pregnat. Let it up to God. In the mean time remember what other have mentioned. Life is just not fair. And it is very painful because we have being raised with feel-good, politically correct teachings and we were never taught at school that life is not fair. Bill Gates told this at a high school in California.

You will be alright. And you will become a parent. Smile

Hi... know exactly how you feel. My husband and I went through thousands of dollars to get pregnant. He underwent vasectomy reversal... no pregnancy. We then went to ICSI IVF... and thousands of dollars later... nothing. I still have moments of anger where I am mad at anyone who has gotten pregnant and aborts, anyone who abuse their children, etc. etc... because they don't know the gift they were given.

Be strong. I know it is hard. Did your husband have a vasectomy in the past? How old are you? We were told even though everything was perfectly normal, the docs suggested I go and buy eggs and use my husband's sperm, or that we could buy eggs and sperm, since my husband's vasectomy had not worked... whatever... made me so mad. At that time, i wanted a baby from him and I... not from whoever...

Anyhow, as my husband and I are not getting any younger, we have finally come to the decision to adopt so are in the process of that.

I hope you heal someday... maybe not now, but one day. The wound keeps opening for me some days.

just beleive in God and know you don't give yourself only god does and he created Adam who does not have parents and Eve who has father but not mother and Jesus who doesn't have a father. And you or me we both have parents so pray to God who is the giver. You'll not regret
