DH's urologist appt

Cindal

He went. I don't know if you gals remember but he was thinking of not going. The Dr. told him that everything checked out normal no varicole veins or whatnot and then dropped the bomb on him. His urine sample came back with alot of sugars in it. Then they tested his blood. It came in at around 200. He thinks he may be diabetic and is saying that his bad SA results are a direct result of that. I didn't even know that diabetes affected sperm, I mean I know so many diabetics who have large healthy families. So now he has to have blood drawn tomorrow when we go back to my dr. for our 'go over the results' appt. And then he has another appointment with a general practitioner in about a week. I feel like we opened a veritable pandora's box. What else is going to jump out of it?

And I'm having a hard time coping with this potential diagnosis. In my head there's a little girl stamping her foot and screaming its not fair over and over again. Asking stupid questions that have no merit or base. Why him? Why him when there's so many more people out there who are so much heavier, who eat so much worse, who don't even attempt to take care of themselves and they're fine. Why us? When there are people out there strung out on drugs, living off the system, low life fricking pedophiles who can get pregnant and have babies and not us. I know there's no rhyme or reason to it. But I've been little miss sunshine optimism for so long now and I feel like I'm running out of sunshine to give, like the past two years(not all ttc related) have just been steadily siphoning it out of me and I'm on empty. Sorry for the stupid vent.

I went to our local rec center and bought us a family pass. I don't want to take this laying down. It's so weird I was prepared for the diagnosis of not being able to get pregnant naturally, I was in the process of coping of finding a way to deal and move past, and then this. It caught me off guard and it scares me. I could handle I think not growing our family, but I can't handle not having him around. Not trying to be melodramatic I just know that diabetes if not brought under control leads to a plethora of other diseases, other problems...*sigh* its just a lot to take in and handle all at once. And a very bad day in general.

Oh and you girls were right on the SA the nurse who originally stated that his count was great obviously didn't know what the fluck she was talking about. The urologist went over his results and it is 175,000/ml and as the uro put it DH is 'in the dirt' all over. Thanks to you guys I wasn't surprised, however that doesn't really make it suck any less.

Thanks for reading my mini-novel.

I'm sorry that the nurse messed up the count by mixing 175 mil and 175 thousand.  Because yeah, that's quite a difference!  And I am really sorry for the Dx of Diabetes...I'm sure without family history or knowing about it earlier - getting t

I'm very sorry for this very upsetting revelation--- I know how hard it is in that moment to hear that this amazing man who you married has a medical issue.  I remember that moment for us, and to this day I'll never forget the feeling of hugging a

I'm so so sorry. What a tough day! I can completely sympathize with what you were saying about not expecting this news and it therefore hurting even more since you weren't at all prepared. And I didn't think your vent was stupid at all. I thought you s

Aside from his sugar level, did they give you an A1C level?  Because blood sugar level just looks at the last 24
