Hello Everyone.. I am new to this board so please forgive me in advance if I sound ignorant. I am going to be 35 at the end of the year and I’ve been trying to get pregnant for over a year. My OBGYN who’s been my doctor since I was 16 tells me I am not the problem based on my temperature readings. My boyfriend had a sperm test done. When I went to my doctor the other day he told me my boyfriend was boyfriend was borderline infertile. Not the news I was expecting....fast forward to today when we went to the follow up with urologist. He says my boyfriend is fine and to keep trying. I have no idea where to go from here. If I posted this in wrong board then I am so sorry. I’m just hoping someone can give me some advice. Thank you
Re: Someone lead me down the right road
Personally, I think that the best thing you can do is get a referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist from whoever will give you one. Those folks are serious. They will test if your tubes are open. They will test your thyroid, AMH, estrogen, prolactin, FSH, and progesterone levels. They will do seman analysis a couple months apart, because they realize that stress can cause a bad sample and that things change seasonally. My ob gyn actually did all these tests for me and gave me a diagnosis (blocked tubes); but things move so much faster and are so much easier with a doctor who actually specializes in infertility. If I could change one thing, it would be to get back the 9 months I wasted with a sweet, kind ob gyn who only dabbled in infertility.
Good luck, honey. There are many ladies here who can offer wisdom from their experience.
Good luck!
