Infertility

Lab mix up

My husband had his SA yesterday and I had my consultation today.  As my husband was driving me to my appt he got the worst phone call we could ever expect.  They mixed up the lab work and his count is zero, unlike the person who they mixed it up with.  We are shocked and heartbroken, we were going into this thinking that we'd have to zero count and to have them say his count was great we were ecstatic, then to have that dream ripped away from us.

  • OMG @weebitfluffy.  How devastating and not at all called for.  What a terrible thing to have to go through. :cry: 
    ***BFP & Child Warning***

    Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014
    IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs
    IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos
    FET #1 (Sept 2016) = BFP! DD born 5/30/17
    FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN
    FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
  • @weebitfluffy I'm so sorry to hear of that mix up. I could imagine how disappointing that was to hear. My DH also had a sperm count of zero after 3 different SA's. He had low testosterone levels and was even put on Clomid. Still nothing. He ended up having a procedure called Micro TESE and they were able to extract sperm right from his testicle (the vials are currently frozen while I get prepped for our first IVF cycle). The doctor didn't know if he even made sperm so the procedure was our last hope for him. My point for telling you this is to hopefully lift your spirits. Medical science is amazing today. I pray your DH doesn't have to go the same route we did and you get answers soon! My fx are crossed for you! If you want to talk more, feel free to inbox me.

    Thank you, I have a feeling that we'll be headed towards IVF.  We're thinking a blockage due to a hernia and hernia repair he had 12 years ago.
  • I'm so sorry

    Worst part this is our 1st ride.
  • @weebitfluffy How terrible!! I can't even imagine getting your hopes up, and then having that happen!!
  • @weebitfluffy - so awful. I'm so sorry.
    We knew about my DH's low morphology (1%) just from sperm analysis, but our last RE never looked into the reason why his morph was so low (new doc has diagnosed varicocele, and unfortunately there were cysts so there's concern of testicular cancer). Our last RE spent years telling me I was fine. Only when I found the new doc was I diagnosed with endo. So needless to say, bad news seems to always be just around the corner. 

    I wish your story were different for you :( I'm sorry you're dealing with this. 
    ps. when you say count is zero does he have azoospermia? What's the plan of action for you guys now? 
    Big hugs to you!
