My name is Heather, too, and I have PCOS, too! Such a small world.
Spindaisy and Tickingclock - there is hope! There is proof of that on these pages every single day...I am continuously amazed at God's grace every day when I read these posts.
It doesn't matter how long you've been trying or if you've done as much as others on these boards, the pain is still the same...and it's still debilitating. This is the one place you can come where you are completely and totally understood, accepted and encouraged by those who know exactly what you're going through.
There is hope...there is hope every day here. So, come back here often and get the strength you need, vent the anger you can't vent to anyone else, and find friends who are walking this journey along with you.
I wish you - and every wonderful woman on these boards - loads and loads of babydust!!
Hello all...I haven't posted in awhile..but wanted to check in...DH went to see a urologist a couple of weeks ago, and we have to go back on the 10th of May for another SA. He said even with the low count that IVF is still possible for us. So fingers crossed and I hope this one comes out alot better! Take care all and I will post real soon!

Hello everyone..just an update with me. DH and I went to the urologist again today to give a second sample. Well there was 0 sperm. I know the look on my face really made my DH feel bad. I am not mad at him. Just frustrated. Has anyone had this their DH? And if so can it be corrected? We have to go back in 3 to 4 week for him to give another sample. Thank you all in advance for all your help! Take care and God bless you all.
My husband also has nil sperm in his ejaculate. He had a biopsy done and we found that he had plenty of sperm there but it was blocked in the tube and could not get out. He did have an operation to see if the blockage could be removed but they could not get to it. We had to go through IVF and use ICSI. We are lucky enough to have a 5yo daughter now and we are also now 6 weeks pregnant with our second. This has all taken a very long time but well worth the journey. Good luck to you and your dh.

My first husband has alot of mutated sperm and they were missing the enzyme to break into the egg. They didnt icsi then so we were out of luck. Take care. Bad news is such a shock.

Spindaisy, Sorry about the bad news. It is a huge shock when it comes about. I hope it is something they can work through. They can do so much these days so try not to worry too much until you hear what the docs say about it.

Hello all. I am a Newbie and scared to death! I went for my consultation on IVF last year and now just yesterday (6/20) I will begin my 1st cycle any day now. Just waiting to start the clomid. I am so afraid of the effects the medications will have on me. I'm afraid it won't work and I will never be able to give my husband a child of his own. I am totally frightened at all of the possible outcomes, except the birth of a healthy child of course.
MrsLewis, A little advice, don't be frightened or stressed out. Let your body relax, everything will be ok. If you stress, then your body might take longer to get pregnant. I didn't have any side effects from clomid but my sister-in-law had some mood swings. Every women is different.
We are here to hold your hand through this journey, good luck and keep us posted!

Hello my name is Rebecca my doctor said that my tubes are blocked can you tell me what a HSG is and will it hurt i have been trying to have a baby for 3 years now i'am not on birth control i don;t understand why i can't get that wayi really want a baby more than anything so maybe you can help me whats hsgwhat is that
Rebecca, HSG was a little painful for me. they couldn't get that cathader in the first time due to my cervix being bent. But after the 2nd time, they got it in. They pump die into your tubes to see where they are blocked. There is a little cramping. Make your husband go with you to hold your hand. It worked for me. Some women didn't experience any problems.
