Dealing with azoospermia?

[deafgal01]

Agree with you Snd on the naive feeling and being that uninformed about azoo. Hope you find the funding and I know you will get your bundle of joy sooner or later. sending lots of hugs to you!

Hello everyone

Thank you for all your advice and friendly words, I really appreciate it.

To preserve my sanity, I HAVE to cling to the idea that it can be fixed and that we won't need to go for IVF or ICSI in the end. See, our medical insurance REFUSES to pay for anything even remotely related to infertility treatment (we had to pay for DH's semen analysis out of our own pocket) and obviously we didn't make any financial provision for this unexpected speed bump.

I will phone the doctor's office and ask them whether DH would be required to go for some tests and whether we can do it in advance. Chances are, the doctor will want to see DH first. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

So cheers to another 25 days of waiting and obsessing.

You know what I miss? I miss being niave! l miss having a glimmer of hope in trying the old fashioned way! I miss not knowing anything about azoospermia or that it even existed! I miss being the "old" me!!!! Now I'm this medical junkie with information overload!! I just wish we could all be "normal" like others and get pg without effort!!! Sorry to spazz out and scare any of the new girls, but this is not an easy road for some of us!

And on a last note, I miss some of the old girls from here... I've been on this thread for a little over a year; so many have moved on and some of us are still here in limbo azoo-hell! Guess I am a little hormonal today!

to all that have made it this far in reading!!!

This rings so true to how I've been feeling the past couple of months. I too miss the old 'me' and 'us' and how everything didn't revolve around scans and IUI and injections and pessaries. I feel like I've changed and that scares me, but my lovely journal buddies have assured me I haven't and that I'm still the same person deep down, but have just had a lot of crap to deal with. They reckon once we have our child - by whatever means - I'll start to go back to being 'me' more once again and I'm sure that's true.

I think we're all hormonal most of the time. Don't apologise for it

I do hope that you get the IVF sorted out or that you come up with a plan while you're waiting in the meantime. Maybe it's worth one more IUI shot whilst you wait? I'm sure you'll both come to a decision soon.

BettiS: I feel your pain! We have paid for all 3 rounds of IVF cash out of pocket... We did change DH insurance at one point so it would cover the SA and urologist visit but other than that squat! I hope you get the answers you want soon.

Betti - I hope you get it all sorted out soon. It sucks when insurance refuses to pay for anything. DH & I paid for everything out of pocket as well....its very stressful to shell out that kind of money when you are already dealing with the stresses of this kind of infertility.

Just to let you ladies know that my 6th DIUI has failed, so I'm going to be going down the DIVF route now.

Just gotta wait and find out if we're approved for 1 free NHS try before we do anything.

[raelynn]

SunUp - What a great number! Hoping all goes well and you'll have your BFP soon!

Silverbell - So sorry! Wishing you the very best with IVF.

My husband was just diagnosed with Azoospermia. I am new to this forum, or any forum for that matter. Just need to talk to someone who has been through this. We see our specialist on October 11 for our initial consultation. I really appreciated your post. Were you successful?

 

[deafgal01]

wgreen- the front page lists all the successful couples who have been able to conceive and go on to have their dream of having a family of their own (either with husband's sperm or a donor's). Lots of information on the first post in the first page too so that'd be good place to look. Sorry that you're joining the boat but at least you came to the right place for support.

 

[Arimas]

Welcome wgreen! There is a bunch of helpful info and support on this thread. Does ur dh know the cause of the azoo? Did they check his urine after ejaculation for retrograde ejaculation? R u scheduled for a testicular biopsy to look for sperm?

*hugs*

Silverbell - Im sorry IUI didnt work....I wish you the best with IVF.

Sun - yay!!! When is ER?

wgreen - Im sorry to see you here, but everyone here is super helpful! Good luck!

ER was the 22nd, I have 22 still growing, and ET is the 27, which was how many eggs they initially retrieved. I think I should play the lotto with those numbers!
