2. Unexplained Fertility
3. TTC 2yrs
4. Had abdominal myomectomy to remove 9 fibroids, and now waiting until end of may to have hysterscopy to remove scar tissue and unblock left tube
1. First Name: Dawn
2. Diagnosis: I have been diagnosed with LPD. DH was diagnosed with azoospermia due to testosterone replacement therapy. He has hypogonadism.
3. How long have you been TTC: 14 months
4. What treatments are you currently doing or if you are on a break when you will cycle again.: Currently waiting to see the endocrinologist specializing in MFI. That appointment is June 4. DH is supposed to go to him to get some sort of shots to help his body produce its own testosterone again and hopefully get back to making its own sperm. I will more than likely be put back on clomid for LPD when DH once again produces sperm. In the meantime, we're doing acupuncture. Hopefully that will straighten out my cycle so I won't have to go back on clomid!
