I am so mad at my doctor. Bad SA results

I thought I would drop back in with what happened, DH went for his ultrasound went back Dec 3rd and found out he has a left Vericocele which they set up surgery for March 2014 to repair and told us there was less than 10% chance of us conceiving before march.... 10 days later i conceived and on Dec 27h got my first ever BFP... looks like miracles do happen. :)

lilmonkey, so sorry you haven't gotten a bfp yet. 13 months isn't so long in the grand scheme of things, but it still feels like a lifetime when you're going through it.

I think both of the urologists your dh saw were right in their own way. The WHO standards put the minimum for a "normal" count at 15 million/ml and men with those counts are capable of fathering a child. However, the lower the count is below 60mil/ml the more you can expect that conception will be significantly delayed. So I think of 15 mil/ml as being "normal" in the same way a C- is "passing". If you're trying naturally, you really want to see it at at least 60 mil/ml or more with adequate motility and morphology.

The good news is that since your hubby's sperm is not extremely bad that there is a good chance that it can improve. My hubby's sperm analysis results were very close to your hubby's and we conceived three weeks after he started taking supplements. I'm really curious about what his numbers are now but I guess we'll never know. Good luck!
 
lilmonkey that's great news!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance: Now if you decide to go for #2, you will know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, so hopefully it won't take another year!
 
DH is still going for his surgery in March so that the issue will be fixed no matter what... that and he wants 3 weeks off work... but we are so thrilled. I get to see my doc on Wednesday to get the results of my first set of bloodwork.

Lil monkey. Your situation sounds like ours a morphology problem my husband has his surgery March 31 and we're hoping that fixes things seeing how all his other labs are normal... The doctor said to keep trying because it is still possible to get pregnant even though it's slim because he does have swimmers. I'm glad you are successful and get to have your little one. I'm hoping and praying with my fingers crossed this all works and I can get back to the fun of waiting to see if I am or not instead of feeling like it's pointless right now. Your story really gave me hope
 
I'm glad I could give you hope Morgan, we had given up completely after our doctors appointment, and figured we would just wait until after the surgery then get back to trying (as soon as we stopped trying it happened). GL with your DH's surgery and i have my Fx'd for you that you get your BFP really soon.
