Hi ladies I would like to introduce myself. I have been on the bump for 3 years now. My DH and I have been TTC for those 3 years with no luck. This past year we finally decided to find out what the problem was.
My DH has been diagnosed with extremely low sperm count. Although his number have improved some they are still to low to even try iui. Our RE gave us the news that our only chance we might have of conceiving with his sperm is IVF. Unfortunately IVF isn't possible for us due to cost.
Our next step is going to be DS. We meet with our RE in 2 weeks to further discuss. I'm looking forward to learning more about this process and getting to know you all.
