Trouble TTC

Hello! Brand new here!

Hi everyone, I'm Heather. I just turned 28 and I'm from Pittsburgh, PA. I've been TTC with my husband for 14 months now. I've had no problems with bloodwork, ovulation, or tube blockages. However, my husband had his semen analysis and had a low sperm count of 7 million and a low morphology of 6%. We have our first appointment with an RE on September 9th.
Me: 28 - no known issues DH: 32 - MFI - low count and low morphology TTC since 3/2014 IUI #1 cycle started

Re: Hello! Brand new here!

  • Hi and welcome to the board!  Glad that you went straight to an RE instead of an OBGYN.  There are a lot of stories of  them giving Clomid to women with no testing for many months when the issue was sperm count all along.   I hope that your RE gets you on a plan that will make your stay here short and sweet.   You might want to also make an appointment with a urologist if you haven't already....
