I just though i'd pop in and introduce myself. My name is Amy and DH and I have been TTC for about 26 months now. Ive popped a bit about our history below.
We had our first appointment with the FS about 8 weeks ago. DH has had 2 tests so far that have shown no sperm at all present in the sample. We thought it was just a blockage but that has been ruled out and we have been left with some rather upsetting news.
The Dr got some info from both of us, how long we have been TTC etc, then took DH off to examine him. As soon as she walked back in, she said it was def not a blockage.... my heart sank.
She said she thinks DH has an abnormality with his DNA and he is missing part of the Y chromosome in his DNA. He has had 4 blood tests done.
They have said if two of them come back with nothing then there is nothing that they can do and we will need to use a sperm donor, if they come back ok then they will need to go in and see if they can aspirate them out and use them for IVF.
So off we went on our holiday to Greece for 3 weeks and came back. (This was 5 weeks after the tests had been done), the results still havent come back and now our FS is on holidays!!!
We go back to see her on 7th July to get the results and to schedule everything in ready yo go. They said that DH and I will go into different hospitals at the same time, I will go into one to have my eggs collected and DH will go into another to have his sperm aspirated.
We have already had out HIV and Hep blood tests done, when we go back on the 7th we will have our counselling session as well. I think we will have to wait until the start of Aug to start our first cycle as AF is due before our appointment.
