Could it be?

Starting to believe ,that it's not me...and the reason I don't have children...may have to do with my partner.

To convince a man that his sperm maybe the reason,that a baby is not in existence.

Someone, even claimed that a man with low sperm count can have children ,alot quicker than a guy with high sperm count.

I am not convince that it's only me.

I don't think, it's fair that I have to go through each cycle hoping that I have conceived.

I am just so sick of everyone claiming that,it's my fibroids...I have lost so much weight and symptoms are very different during my cycle.

Feel very frustrated and annoyed about people telling and ask me when would I reproduce.

You are correct, it may not be only you. 1/3 of the time it is the guy, and sometimes it is both of you. Has your hubby been tested? My gyno only did bloodwork, but as soon as we went to a fertility specialist one of the first things they did was a semen analysis on my husband.

I have fibroids and got pregnant.. though I miscarried at 19 weeks. It was not due to the fibroids but an incompetent cervix. Women with fibroids can get preggo.. it depends where the fibroids are located. Also, with ivf and ICSi ,fertility specialists can fertilize a women''s egg with sperm. Have you seen a fertility specialist?

Thanks for the replies,I really do appreciate..sometimes I get so frustrated and feel so alone sometimes.

My partner have not ever ...had any type of tests on his semen,not even ever.

I have seen 3 GYN's but I have not seen a fertility specialist.

I am trying to convince him that fibroids is not the only issue and that he needs to go the doctor.
Yes,we became pregnant with his semen and my body didn't hole our baby long enough to have a successful pregnancy.
But I am not convince, that I am the only one... to blame for infertility.

I have been pregnant a few times and I am constantly take care of my body and fibroids.
The funny thing is my grandmother had fibroids and she launch a whole family foundation .So I know getting pregnant is a possibility but sustaining a pregnancy would be an effort that will be basis solo on my body and healthy after fertilization.

You can buy an at home test for your husband to take to see if his count is high or low. I bought one in the drugstore and had my husband take it and then we both went to the feritlity dr. to get tested.

My DH was totally like "It's all in your head! It's all stress! It will happen..blah blah blah." Finally, my OB was like "you've tried for 2 1/2 years without a blip...NO it WON'T just happen." It still took me going in for all the testing and the HSG and how miserable that was for DH to finally decide that MAYBE squirting his baby juice in a cup wasn't such a big deal. Lo and behold, the problem was on his end! I don't know if hearing it from a doctor will help, or going to an RE/fertility consult will help or what, but I hope you can get answers and find out every variable. I think it really does help with deciding the next steps and what to do. It will also take some of the strain off of you to know exactly what you're dealing with (fibroids, low sperm count, both, other...)
