Belizeli - I'm sorry to hear of your news. Some of those symptoms sound like my DH - and that was where the FS was leading us to, but didn't say the name of it, just described the genetics getting mixed up. I hope the biopsy finds sperm for you.
Our FS just called DH and said he wants him to have another ultrasound for his clot and come in and see him late October, early November. What?! That long? That'll put back our chances of IVF for ages.. DH said it felt like he was seeing this as a different issue altogether. What if it isn't? What if the clot is causing his zero sperm count? Then again, many of the symptoms of Klinefelters describes DH (a bit pear-shaped, slightly enlarged breasts - he says that not me - bad teeth, small testies..) but not others (not lanky or tall, his libido is pretty high). Lots to think about... but we should probably wait for a diagnosis before stressing out too much (this time! ).. Waiting sucks.
Belizeli - so sorry to hear the diagnosis. It is very though to deal with. There have been pregnancies with Klinefelters. I know that the chances are a bit less than with other reasons, but there is still hope. It has happened before.
Frugal - Why does the FS wants to wait so long. That seems like a very long time just for an ultrasound. Are you considering getting a 2nd opinion?
Amy - Good luck, I really hope that they will find lots of sperm at the retrieval and that you get a BFP real soon
Kristine - DH mentioned getting a second opinion today and I'm thinking it might be a good idea if we can't get this FS to move at our pace. DH is going to call him on Monday and ask some questions.
As for above.. just ignore that. I took a good look at DH in the shower when he got home and no, he's not pear shaped at all, and his chest isn't anything like the ones I saw on a website about the issue.. so I think my imagination was playing tricks on me for a while there (thinking the worst!). It's put my mind at ease a bit, but I guess it doesn't mean that there isn't a genetic issue just as the FS thought. Argh.
