Hi everyone,

I'm a little lost at the moment, I'm not sure where to ask these questions.

DH and I have been TTC since December, which isn't long, but we recently had a SA done because we had a idea in the back of our minds that DH might not be fertile. The SA showed no sperm, and our Doctor got us an appointment for a fertility specialist at an IVF clinic in Richmond. (Has anyone had any experiences with them?)

So, we don't really know the cause of the lack of sperm yet, but I'm still thinking about the road that lies ahead of us. I have a few questions about IVF too.. like, are you SURE I have to go through the drugs and egg collection if I'm otherwise fine? (I already know the answer to that I suppose ) and with the cost involved - the sticky thread about how much it costs, is that for ONE try only, or does that cover more than one? We're trying to decide how much we need to save up, and where the "end point" is for us.

My DH is wondering about the "natural selection" issue, he's worried if he's not able to have kids naturally, perhaps he shouldn't at all.

We havn't talked with any family or friends about any of this. At least not until we find out what the cause is and what our options are.

Thanks for any help. Also, where does someone like me post here now? I was in the TTC buddies for 1-6 months, but I'm all lost now, as I'm not a LTTTC yet, but we may be going through assisted conception real soon.

Thank you again!
