So, I got DH SA results. Not very good. 6 mil count, good formation, really bad motility. So I guess our only option is going to be IVF. So I called the insurance company to find out what we have covered and we have $15,000 each. A little has been used already on our previous IUI's but there is still most of that left. So even though I got really bad SA results, I'm still a little hopeful. Now to discuss all this with DH. He's been really touchy about IF lately, so this conversation will be interesting.
DD conceived after 3 years of ttc.
MFI - DH had varicocele repair and took Clomid to get DD b. 02/2010
TTC #2 since 6/2010 10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013. DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair. Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies. Wishing, hoping, waiting.
Im sorry for the bad news, I hope the conversation goes over smoothly with your husband and you can move forward soon. Sending T&P and big hugs your way!
Thanks everyone. The conversation went better than I was expecting. Need to call and get more clarification on our coverage and figure out how much IVF will cost with our provider.

I'm really sorry for the bad news from the SA but wish you the best of luck with IVF! And I'm glad to hear the conversation with your DH went pretty well!
