Infertility

Intro & Question

Hello! I am new to this board (normally on GP and TTC over 35). But we've had two bouts of not-so-good news lately, which brings me to this board! First, I have slightly low progesterone and am on my first month of Clomid. No problems with that so far at all. DH had a SA done and has low count, low motility (15%), and 70% were immobile.He has two children who are 8 and 10. Does anyone else out there have a husband who has had children who is currently having low numbers, etc.? I feel so alone in this right now, as we were totally not expecting him to be one with any problems since he already has had children. I know he's been under constant job stress since before we got married, so I am sure when we meet with the urologist that how to deal with his stress will be addressed. It's frustrating because there's not a lot I can do about his stress level! I feel like I have cried more in the last two days than I have in a year.

Re: Intro & Question

  • Hi, I'm new too - I actually think you responded to a post of mine yesterday.  I just wanted to tell you you're not alone.  My DH has 5% motility.  Then last night I just found out I have an under active thyroid. 

    It was just recommeneded that I read the Infertility Cure. 

    I can't really offer much else other than support.

  • I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to the board.  I am so sorry you have had a rough few days, I know how hard it is to deal with the news of IF.  It's so frustrating and upsetting.  It sounds like you are taking a step in the right direction by meeting with an RE and Urologist. Hopefully they will be able to put together a game plan for you.  This is a very supportive and welcoming group so feel free to post questions here any time.  
  • i am new here too and i am actually in the same boat as you. I have children from a previous marriage and my DH has a daughter. His SA wasnt that good either. I am starting clomid on monday.
  • Hi and welcome.  IF sucks, but you'll not find a better more supportive board than this one.  GL and hope your stay here is short
  • Hi and welcome! I'm so sorry you've had some tough news in the past few days. Hopefully when it all sinks in, and you have a chance to develop a plan you'll start to feel a little better. This board is a wonderful place for help, support, or just to vent!

  • Hello and welcome!

    You are not alone, my DH has 2 children from his previous marriage and I have 1 and now we are BOTH infertile....crazy huh? I did not know this but fertility can change, so once fertile does not mean always fertile. We also suffer from low numbers and my DH is now on hcg injects which have brought his counts, etc. back to the normal range. There is hope!!
