Hi Arielle

firstly - welcome!!! i really hope you're ttc journey isn't a long one!

secondly - NEVER give up hope of a natural conception. as you said, it only takes one determined little swimmer to get there and make a bubba! there are girls in these threads who've been in the lead up to IVF cos they thought it was the last resort, and they've gotten a BFP (admittedly it's not super common, but it definitely happens!)

given the results you've told us, i'm guessing the most likely thing that will be suggested is IVF - simply because they technology is there to use ICSI (can't remember exactly what it stands for but basically the sperm is injected into the egg rather than having to penetrate itself) which would overcome a lot of the issues that exist. ICSI is fairly common and has some great results - there are a lot of IVF/ICSI bubba's around here!

good luck with your journey - come on over and join us in the Long Term TTC and Assisted Conception thread here - there are a few of us that are staring down the barrell of IVF and i'm sure it would be as helpful for you as it has been me to share with others as you're going through all of this. it's not an easy thing to face and can set you on an emotional roller coaster - we're all great at supporting each other when it's needed.

good luck hun
