What the GP failed to tell us for 8 months..

Hi everyone,

I'm just reeling today and have no one left to turn to.

Me and DH had a Doctors appointment last week and found out;

• His sperm test showed he had primary testicular insufficiency and poor sperm count (the latter we knew) which we were told is untreatable and maybe progressive

.

• He was referred for sperm cryopreservation (we are choosing Salisbury as our referral)
• His last blood test showed he had slightly more testerone then his Oct blood test.

• We also found out he has very high LSH levels (but positively the results also showed the LSH levels had dropped slightly since his blood test in October due to acupuncture)

• His blood tests showed a consistant problem with Spermatogenesis.

It doesn't look good. I am so frightened. He's never had any injury, illness or infection. We aren't elegible for any NHS treatment as we are under 30.

I'm so upset. This was our 3rd GP appointment - we should have been reffered to a fertility clinic in OCTOBER and they all missed it and lied we were fine and it 'only takes one!'

Has anyone know anyone with these factors who managed to conceive naturally? (I'm guessing not)

Babydust to all.

Hi, I might be wrong but I believe if they think the speem are seriously declining the nhs will offer sperm freezing which can be used in iui/ivf at a later date for free to those under 30, but you might have to wait until 30 to get the treatments to put the sperm in you.
My brother in law had sperm frozen before 30 on the nhs to be implanted after, and lives in Hampshire which is the same pct as you.
Hope this helps x
