Urologist called....

in Infertility

just to tell us that bloodwork came back abnormal so we need to make an appointment to discuss them....so to the uro we go on Wednessday to find out what exactly we are dealing with! fingers crossed its something that will help his sperm count! or at least raise it enough to give us a few options!!! ......he was like really? they call to say that and give us NO other info, thats torture lol ....at least they could get us in on Wednesday and we don't have to wait a whole week! 

 never thought I would be so relieved to hear "abnormal test results"  ...I know he is freaking out but like i told him, it would be even more frustrating if they said everything was fine and there was no reason for his sperm count to be the way it is...

 he said the next 48 hours will be torture..poor guy

    GL!! I feel like we are pretty much on the same page these days, I am just slightly behind. We had our uro appt yesterday & the ultrasound & exam looked normal. They took blood & we are supposed to get the results on Fri. I am also sort of hoping for abnormal testing because the dr said if it comes back normal that DH would then need a biopsy of his testes done...just want this process to move along already!! I will be looking for your follow-up tom! :)
    TTC since June 2011
    DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
    Me (32): all clear
    Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
    Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
    Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
    2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
    Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
    ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
    TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found :(
    froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.
    8/3/12: 2nd opinion from MFI uro on biopsy slides. Suspects "partial late maturation arrest."
    Plan: more SAs, third biopsy/TESE with frozen back-up either from DH or DS.
    SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
    SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
    9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!

    at least you got an ultrasound on your appointment! he didn't do an ultrasound or pretty much anything for that matter at our first uro appointment!  but like i had said in out other appointment our urologist behaved like a complete douche, and like he could care less which gets under my skin pretty quickly lol .....good luck to you! fingers crossed they find something they can fix!! ill update everyone tomorrow on what the results are!

    Uggh yeah, your urologist does sound like a jerk.. if I got a call like that I would've gone through the roof...hello, what exactly is abnormal?? If they tell me I need an appt I will demand the info over the phone haha. So frustrating--GL though, tomorrow is almost here!
