Trying to remain hopeful...*Vent*

rose_archangelrose_archangel member
in TTC after 35

We had SA #1 yesterday...no living sperm.  This is such a kick to the gut.  I am at work, trying to believe God really does have his hand in this...but I really just want to cry.  We fought so hard to be together and turn our lives around and we just don't understand why this is happening.  The only thing we can guess is because DH was hit by a car when he was a kid and his kidneys were pretty damaged. 

SA #2 is next Tuesday.  I have my surgery on Friday.  DH also has to have additional bloodwork and make his initial appointment with the urologist.

Sorry to be a debby downer...I needed to release this so I could get on with my day. 

Love to all my TTC 35 Ladies

DH and I:  37; TTC since 12/2007
Me:  8-9 Follicles seen on Initial RE Visit, Letrozole/Norithendrone to manage endometriosis; Baseline CD3 (8/1/14), 7 Follicles seen, AMH low/FSH high,  OvaVite to improve Egg Quality; Hysteroscopy showed polyp, Surgery set for 8/22; FemVu showed both tubes clear!; Thyroid Hormone high, Synthorid to normalize
DH:  Both SA - no living swimmers, Attempting to set up appt with urologist

    I'm so sorry. Don't worry about being a debby downer - you have every right to be upset and this is your safe space to vent.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    @rose_archangel‌ Was your DH on treatment for low testosterone? I ask because I've heard this happens to guys on testosterone medication. I've heard of guys going on Clomid to treat zero sperm count with a huge turn around.
    Either way, big hugs to you.
