Hello ladies i've been floating in and out of here having a read of all yes all the posts.
Here's my story......

After 4yrs of trying. We both decided to go docs and had tests done mine came back that im fine. Other half not good news.
Okay so im feeling very lost and confussed waiting for OH to see specialist doc.
We got the news from doc after seamen test was done. Not 1 sperm alive! None dead just none?

Okay so now have an appointment with the male infertility service at university collage hospital for 13th Oct 2011.

But since having the seamen results back we have been investigating ourselves searching the internet ect.
TMI COMING UP. Well had a feel of other halfs balls myself he's tube thing that carries the sperm on he's left ball is enlarged. We did see a doc about this a while ago doc said this shouldnt caulse a problem as he still has another ball. Im starting to wonder if he just fobbed us off as this was said before the seamen sample......

So we experimented more.....TMI With going by what i read on google I had my other half with he's legs up high and done a sperm test myself . He done it and it was a hell of alot whiter then the test that we sent off.

Has anyone else tried this or got the swallon tube?
That's all i can say for now.

So good results today. My antral follicle count was 17 (7 right 10 left) and everything else looked good (I do have 2 fibroids, but they are not interferring with anything)... I gave blood and have my saline ultrasound on Wednesday. DH getting his blood. Then we will put 2 and 2 together and I will start my meds! Yippie

Hi there. Sorry you've had to come here. We've all been there though and this is a really great place to ask questions and seek support.

My DH doesn't have the swollen tube as such, but he did have what felt like 2 testicles on one side (so a total of 3!) It turns out that this extra lump is in fact an epidydimal cyst and is harmless and wouldn't cause problems with sperm flow. It's very common for men to have these apparently and usually nothing to worry about. I'm not sure if this is what your OH has, but hopefully the specialist can tell you more next month.

As for colour of semen - I have seen a few things about this and to be honest it doesn't seem to matter at all. It seems that change in colour, quantity and consistency can vary from time to time and this is normal.

I hope this helps and good luck with your appointment. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a happy outcome for you both.

Great news, Mo! Not long now

Hello sorry you have had to join the group but everyone here is so supportive.

My oh had no sperm in his last 6 tests and has a vargus (sp) vien in his tube so i kind of understand your upset.

We thankfully got a naturally bfp after we applied for adoption.

I really hope you get your bfp soon x

my hubby was told when he was joining the forces that he had a swollen testicle tube (this was over 12 years ago) he was told it was nothing to worry about and quite common. When he got dx as having non obstructive azoospermia, the urologist never mentioned the swollen tube even tho it is still the same now. His fsh was raised slighty so that points to NOA. I haven't tried the sperm test and don't really know anything about it what is the whole keeping the legs up high about? Hope the time flies by quickly until your appointment with the specialist

Dh semen analysis came back instead of a few to 600,000 per drop! I know that is still severe male factor infertility but to go from nothing to that many is awesome for us! We are waiting for labs still so I am wondering what the urologist will want to do next.

Welcome Kelly

Fab news Mobaby - what has happened to improve things so much? xx

Wow, Mobaby!

I agree, I'm intrigued. I wish, wish, wish that would happen for my DH. It would make things so much easier and at least there would be that 'possibility'. I'm very jealous

Idk why... he started on an organic multivitamin which I assume helps....I hope the urologist tells us we can just freeze a few samples and use them instead of having a mtese

Well something has worked for sure! I'm sure they will allow that, Mobaby.
