First I want to say how grateful I am for stumbling onto this website and furthermore, this group! It is soooo stressful/depressing to be facing infertility issues.
My DH and I have only been TTC for 6 months now but it seems like an eternity already. I know 6 months isn't long but something inside told me I should consult a fertility clinic as to why we hadn't gotten pregnant yet...good thing we did.
Unfortunately, we were told that my husband has a very low sperm count of 3.8 million, not to mention the motility and morphology of his sperm are also abnormal. ALSO, the doc tells me that I'm more than likely not ovulating every month according to my blood work results and the fact that I have ovaries that "look" polycystic but do not actually have PCOS. I had never even heard of most of these conditions a year ago so it's a little much taking all of this stuff in.
My husband will be getting his bloodwork done this week and will see a urologist soon after that to determine where we go from here...the only upside I've found (thanks to this website) is that the sperm that was analyzed from him is actually from 3 months ago?!!? This gives me a little hope because before I knew about heat to the scrotum causing infertile sperm...my DH was sitting with his laptop ON HIS LAP while working (he works from home) every DAY! He's stopped doing this about a month ago so hopefully in 3 months he might have a better sperm count.
To add to all of these stresses it seems like ALL my friends and coworkers are getting knocked up! WTH?!?!?! Just like that it's soooo easy for them. And of course I've told a friends and family members that we're TTC so everyone keeps asking..."still not preggers?" and I want to slap them in the f-ing face but I know that it's not their fault. ughhhhhhhhh!
I keep thinking that God is punishing me for my crazy lifestyle in the past or something (this is my karma I guess) but dammit why punish my husband?!?! He's been an angel his whole life! I'm having trouble focusing at work too...this is so stressful and distracting...especially when I'm spontaneously bursting into tears, having to close my office door with a fake "on a conference call" sign on my door! I guess I'll just keep hoping and praying and trying NOT to stress cause whatdya know, that can ALSO be a cause of infertility!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

sorry to hear you're having a tough time. "Lucky" that you discovered the problem early on - I have the same issue but wasn't able to determine what it was till well over a year of trying bc it takes so long to get into a doctor in Canada. I knew by 6 months somethings was up too but was brushed aside.
