Hi there!
I'm new here and I've been looking through blogs and replying to a few posts here and there. I just wanted to introduce myself.
DH and I got married in 2010. I was 22 and he was 23. After trying for about 6 months, I got put on Clomid. After 3 unsuccessful rounds, my OB suggested DH get a SA. SA revealed low sperm count and abnormal morphology. She referred us to an RE who ran numerous tests. After what felt like never ending labs and tests, he told us IVF was our only option and we shouldn't waste much time. We immediately began all the necessary steps to begin cycling for IVF. We had a Day 3 transfer as embryos weren't looking too good. A few days later, I got the call that that we would have no embryos to freeze. Through lots and lots of prayer and hope, our first cycle resulted in our DS who is now 2.
We finally feel ready like we're ready to try and go through the process again to give DS a sibling. We went back to our RE and began all necessary labs to see where we stood. Through a sonogram, RE noticed my ovaries were small for my age. DH was asked to complete the SCSA test as well as a SA and culture. Culture came back with bacteria which doctor says is very common and was put on antibiotics for 22 days. We go back to the RE on Friday to repeat the culture and review the SCSA results.
