So frustrated!

Sorry girls, this is going to be a long one. Today I started my first day of ten of proverb so we can start our first cycle of trying to conceive #2! I was so excited and it seemed like it took forever to get all the bloodwork and crap taken care of.  They told us since do had a great sperm count no semen analysis was needed.  Well in November he started taking some meds for depression which he's dealt with his whole life but until recently it made him so he couldn't climax, which is a HUGE problem obviously. So they took him off the drug that was creating this side effect and that has helped, but now he produces very little semen. So they told me we should really get the test for him, but they can't get him in until May 8 then we will go from there.  I hate all this waiting especially when I was so excited to start our first cycle! So some prayers for patience would be very nice! Sorry this was so long and thanks for those who read to the end!
