SA results are in :(

And they are not good. 1.9 million, 27% motility and 17% morph. DH also got blood drawn today to check testosterone levels and is set to do a repeat SA next month. I just faxed the results to my doc, so I'm hoping we'll have a follow-up to discuss the SA results plus my HSG results sometime next week, but I'm not holding my breath...
I really thought that knowing something was wrong would make me feel better, like in a "well since we know what we're up against, we can fix this" kind of way. But I don't feel better. In fact, I cried when he told me the results (good thing it was via text!). And I really think it's more because I know how fragile his ego is and how much this is certainly crushing him right now. He's so hard on himself, and I know he's feeling like it's all his fault that we don't have a baby right now. Also doesn't help that we know going in we'll be OOP on all testing and treatments and just blew all our savings replacing our home's A/C...
Ugh, what a great way to start the weekend

Re: SA results are in :(
((hugs)) T&P's for you and DH.
Sorry the results were not what you wanted...T&P for you..hope your weekend gets better.
So sorry hon. I hope your doctor has a good plan in mind for you. ::HUGS::
Have you intro'd on 3T yet? I know there's many ladies here that are going through IF treatments/testing but 3T will have more ladies who are facing a MFI Dx. I'm not trying to 'push you out', just another place for support
I'm so sorry, that is frustrating news. ((hugs))
Well-behaved women rarely make history.

I'm sorry. MFI really, really sucks.
FWIW, you might try having him take a supplement for fertility. MH's first SA was just about like yours, and I immediately ordered some Fertilaid. The results were better--he went from 3 million/mL to 18 million/mL. Still not great, but much, much better.
Hopefully the urologist will have more answers for you soon.
Oh BEB, you are so wise
I've actually been a dirty little lurker over there ever since I scheduled my HSG, but hadn't felt like I really "belonged." Now, I guess I do...
Thanks for the hugs gals, you ladies seriously are the best!
BFP #2: 1.30.12 - missed m/c found on 2.27.12 - D&C 3.1.12 @8w
Ditto all this. There are a few ladies who are dealing with MFI and they can help answer some of your questions.
Good luck!

Exactly this. I'm sorry. Big (((hugs)))
I am lurking but is this his first SA? I just want to share that DH has now had about 12 SA for IUI's and such and we have had a couple of scares.
HIs first SA was abysmal. Like a million sperm with 3% motility. We were HORRIFIED and terrified. We were so discouraged we took about 6 months off and went to start with another RE again and that time, his SA was nearly perfect. He has a varicocele so we had been expecting the worst. I've been pg twice with injectibles/IUI.
I'm not trying to blow smoke up your ass or anything but just know his guys can have an off week here and there.

((Hugs)) I can relate to how you are feeling. My DH was DX with MFI in November.
The best advice I received was to make sure that I reassured DH that I still loved him and that we would get through this together. I didn't realize how upset DH was at first and I was pretty angry as well, constant reassurance helped him get past the initial shock of the news and start thinking of a plan.
