I have been a bit lazy in updating but also because after our first results I was pretty depressed. We went in for our follow-up / results appointment on December 20th, they weren't good. DH's sperm count was only 9.6 million. Anything below 20 million is considered low and they diagnosed us with Male Factor Infertility. They told us that it wouldn't be impossible for us to conceive naturally but our chances are really low. I was crushed but I held it together and tried to take in as much information from the doctor as I could. The doctor told us that our best chance of conception would be IVF (in-vitro fertilization with ICSI) The cost of this is around $10,000. They also told us that they will refer DH to a urologist and send him for a second SA. We left the appointment devastated and I cried in the car on the way home. DH kept apologizing to me and I had to keep telling him it wasn't his fault and I wasn't mad at him, I was mad at the situation.
His next sperm analysis drop off is January 3rd and then he will get an appointment to see the Urologist.
