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.

TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
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!!
