Infertility

Urology visit

DH and I are shocked today.  We went in to talk about TRT since DH barely had any sperm and has failed treatments to try to increase counts.  We decided if we did need sperm we would use donor for a donor egg cycle.  Well, the urologist did an S/A this morning and there are 17 million motile!  I was like WTF!  The urologist didn't have anything to say either, he was as confused as we were.  We have never been text book so any questions we have for him he always answers with "well this is what is supposed to happen but" response.  Just wanted to share our news this morning with you.  We haven't decided what our next steps will be but the urologist did not want to give TRT now.

  • We are considering freezing but the frozen samples we had didn't do so well during thaw.  The quality was poor.  With ICSI, it would probably be okay but still not as good as a fresh sample.  We'll probably freeze at least one sample again though.  I was bummed we couldn't freeze this one but because they are doing further testing on it, we weren't able to.
