I completely understand... It's my fault that my husband and I need IVF... The only advice I can give you, is remember how this must be affecting your husband.
I'm sure he is just as devistated- but probably more so...
I know how he must be feeling. Please make sure you support him through this time as well...
Don't worry too much... My brother in law only had ONE good sperm in a sample and that's all they needed. I now how a gorgeous niece from ONE sperm...
They can do lots these days.
Keep positive!

My husband and I have been TTC for a while. He got the results of the semen analysis yesterday and they aren't good. I have been doing the basal body temp, following cervical mucous, and OPKs and pretty sure I'm ovulating. We are going to see a male fertility specialist next week, but based on how bad the results are, the only option is going to be IVF, I just hope they can use his sperm. I guess we'll have to cross that bridge when it comes, but so far, this has been very hard. I can't seem to stop crying. I wish everyone else the best, but it's nice to know others are in similar situations. Although, I wouldn't wish how I feel right now on anyone!

Thank! You too...It is definitely frustrating and has been a hard week on us, but I know we will get through this. And you will too! I'm still a little afraid of going through with this. But I know that our desire to have a family is more important than anything else to us, so we will do what we have to do! -

My husband is also our culprit. He has a varicocele operation in Nov '08 and we were at the RE in April. We are currently in our 1st IVF with ICSI cycle. So far so good. They retrieved 7 eggs, 6 mature and 5 fertilized. I'll never forget what my doctor said on Monday to me - we only need 2 eggs! Well he must have had enough sperm so I am excited, overjoyed and nervous for tomorrow.
I just keep my prayers to God and St Gerard and I know I will be okay.
I know many friends that have gone through almost every type of infertility. I have heard and read lots of stories. Just know that you will be okay. I have been as positive as possible - including the day on our vacation in FL when we had to go to the hospital for blood work. I felt the treatments have been okay - I am still sporting a lovely bruise from day 2 of injections. But these are all the things that won't matter when you are holding a beautiful healthy baby.
There will be so many stories. And so many prayers. I will keep all my DS friends in my prayers! -

Thank you for all your prayers. So far so good. We got the BFP on Monday and the Beta numbers are great. Scan on 6/29 to detect the number of sacks. Just one please!
