My husband (now 32) went for his first sperm analysis 1.5 years (2007) after we got married. The results were very depressing “infertility” 3.15 million total sperm count, total motility 30%, normal forms morphology 30%!! My Endocrinologist said that he should redo the analysis in the winter as the heat might have caused the reduction in sperm count with the first test reading. Well, it took my husband another 6 months to get the courage to re-do the test. His excuse was, it’s not going to be positive as I am under pressure and extremely stressed. The results were similar as the last time “infertility”. At this point two years had passed and I was feeling really depressed.
All my friends were having babies and their second one was on the way. I hadn’t even begun (I am 26). My husband then decided to see a Urologist and was diagnosed with a Varicocele, he also saw my Endocrinologist who confirmed it without an ultrasound. He went for the surgery in July 2008, the wound became infected and he had to take antibiotics for 20 days. We now have to wait a further 3 months for the sperm to regenerate before doing another sperm analysis. He will probably have the new sperm test done in December 2008.
My husband had his hormones tested, FSH 9.2 (normal), LH 6.79 (Normal), Prolactin 194.7 (Normal), Testosterone 13.76 (Normal)
I am on PTU (100 mg) for my thyroid which I am sure has stabilized. I see my Endocrinologist in October 2008.
I feel life is so unfair at times and I don’t understand why we have to go through these struggles….
If someone has had a similar experience, please share your experience and if you were able to conceive naturally after a certain period of time. I will let you know the new results in December.
