Trouble TTC a Sibling

Intro, new to the group

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to introduce myself to you all. I am looking forward to having some support and a place to support others during such a difficult time. I am 31, my husband is 35. We have a wonderful DD and are TTC #2, going on 11 months. We recently got some very sad news that my husband has low sperm count and severely low morphology (1% normal). My dr told me we have less than 1% chance of natural conception. That hurt. I feel devastated. My hubby is hurting and feeling so much guilt, wish I could lift that for him. This has been such a rollercoaster. I know you ladies will understand the mixed feelings I'm holding -- so thankful for my girl, but dreaming of a sibling and a bigger family. Sometimes I feel guilty, since I feel blessed already with my DD. We have an RE and urology consult coming up in the next month and I'm just praying hard for us and for you all. Thank you for listening tonight.

    All are Welcome!

  • Hi!  Welcome and good luck.  I totally get the "guilt."  I'm also guessing it's pretty common!  This is such a "Trouble Trying to Conceive" problem, isn't it?  I know a lot of people who have had more than one child without feeling this guilt.  So, I try not to, but it creeps in.  Good luck to you.  I hope the RE and urologist can help you get a sibling for your daughter!
