Trouble TTC

DH's urology appt today

Which I should have gone to.  Only because the information DH gave me was so limited and had lots of holes in it. However, once the RE gets the report back we'll have a meeting to go over everything and make a plan for us and our next attempt. 

 Basically, like I thought, there's not much he can do. DH has an ultrasound just to make sure that the doesn't have the enlarged vein making things too hot for his boys.  He did tell him ways to keep them cooler.  DH didnt mention the doctor saying anyting about losing weight and eating healthier...I wonder if he did.  DH could seriously stand to loose 100 lbs...and i'm not saying that to be mean or anything, but it's true.  He's too young to be in the the health state he's in (already on two bp meds). 

I've heard loosing weight and eatier healthier can help....it even said that on the urologist's website.  So i bet he was told....the message just didn't get passed on to me. ;-)

 

So here's to getting a few more answers and hopefully have a plan by the end of this month!

Re: DH's urology appt today

  • Glad to hear the appointment went well, your are one step closer

    our Urology appointment is next week 

  • Thanks...i was reading your post below.

     Fortunately my DH is taking it well.  But we have problems on both sides...his however, is now the major problem.

    I think men have to deal with things on their own terms..and if he's anything like my DH...he really doesn't want to talk about it all that much.  One  or two conversations and he's done.  He'll ask me if he has questions about something...but that's about it.  I've had to learn to just leave it alone and let  him come to me.

  • What kind of ways did the urologist tell him to help him cool down?  My DH has the same issue.  He is not overweight at all, so that might not be the problem with yours.  My DH took things pretty well when we got the first bad SA.  However, lately he's been really down about it and apoligizes that he can't get me pregnant.  I don't know what to say to him when he says stuff like that since it is mostly because of his swimmers.  How do you deal with it?
  • Not taking hot showers, no lap tops on his lap, loose pants and boxers, no hot tubs....those were the things he told me after the appt.  I'm sure there were a few more ( I swear I should have gone)  My DH sweat a ton..i can be perfectly fine and he'll be sweating bullets....so i really wonder if that's a major problem or not.

    DH hasn't really don't that with me..but it's not really his personality to do that (if that makes sense).  I'm more the one to get emotional and apologize....especially when I thought I was the only problem.  I really wish I had some advice...

    I do get frustrated though...especially since there's not really anything we can do about him.  My problem was fixed with meds...and I responded so well.  It's hard not to focus on that and just go forward and look for the next option. 

    If you find a good way to cope...let me know....i'm sure we'll all want the secret!

  • My DH did receive that advice at the urologist so yours may have too. It's funny how you never quite get the whole story from some guys. I have to ask multiple questions to be able to draw any kind of conclusion. 
  • My DH used to be very overweight and since lost about 150 lbs.  HOWEVER he has all the extra skin still, especially the inner thighs.  We have pretty profound MFI and the urologist told us it is most likely a temperature issue related to the extra skin keeping everything too warm.  He recommended skin removal as one option.  Weight certainly contributes in that sense, which is part of the reason we did an SA right away.  Its a tough topic to discuss...weight and MFI issues!  Yuck!

    MH is having a really hard time with it.  I keep reminding him we will be parents together one way or another.  I know this isn't his fault.
