Thank you all so much. The appointment went really well I think, mostly because he was lovely and answered all our questions.

He examined DH, and has an idea that it'll be a genetic issue (something he was born with, no control over etc).. and to cut a long story short, it seems as though we won't be getting UTD without intervention. DH had all his bloods taken and we've arranged for a gyno appointment for me.. and a couple of ultrasounds each to top it off. It'll be an interesting day!

We havn't decided 100% on the IVF route just yet. The deciding factor is how DH's testosterone tests come back (as well as the genetic tests, of course.. so we'll assume they're fine for the time being..). We were both interested to learn that they actually have to remove 5% of his "mass" to get the sperm.. and doing so may effect his testosterone production. If he's already at a low / borderline level, it could mean hormone replacement for him for the rest of his life. We're not keen on that idea at all!

So, given everything comes back normal, we're looking at IVF. He said there wasn't a huge benefit of doing a biopsy to see what the chances are of DH having sperm, as the results aren't conclusive.. so generally they'll set me up for the egg collection (all the meds I suppose) and then have "one good shot" at getting sperm for the IVF/ICSI. If they find none, then that's our journey over (as we don't want to do the donor thing). If they do find some, then we're good to go.

So, next up is these appointments for ultrasounds and the gynaecologist, then we see the FS again in another 4 weeks after the blood tests are back.

There was a lot to take in at the time, so I'm sorry for missing anything important!
