Yeah the chopper is fun for the first 5min for me but i get sick and we dont go any higher than around 400 foot MAX but were we are going is 10 000 above sea level so i might not look high but your body knows you are high!! DH showed me how to fly but it doesnt interest me its really hard and really easy to crash, i can fly straight and take off ok but suck at landing and chasing cows close to the ground so i am much happier in tha passenger seat! Oh and my baby bird pedro is coming to town to i have to find him a new home today!My temps is usually around 36.50 or 36.55 at this time but it shot upto 36.71 this morn, i wonder if its the meds???? Not too much else to report on, just mowing like mad now!! Got nearly 2 inches out of that storm!!!

Hey girls,

I have been on this website for 10mo in the ttc forums, and now here I am, writting in this one....My husband and I just found out Monday that he has azoospermia. His blood work came back normal just there was no sperm in his semen. It's it crazy?! You go your whole life waiting to meet that one special person for you get married start a family. Then this? I keep waking up at night thinking its a deam. I have been scouring the Internet to reade as much as I can about everything there is to know its so overwhelming!

We had originally gone in to see his PC because my insurance wouldn't cover me getting tested yet but they'd cover a SA for him so we decided to start there. The Urologist found that he had a large varicocele in the left side testicle and thought that could be the issue so he ordered a SA, DH did 2 samples and the blood work up.. Everything came back normal in the blood but no sperm in his semen. We're so confused?? He is normal in every other way, goes to the gym 4 times a week, we eat well, he always takes vitamins I justttt don't get it! We are now seeing a specialist in two weeks, I hate the wait its killing me.

I don't know about you but things are pretty gloomy here at my house. We both had said that it almost feels like someone died....I know we don't have the full results back yet but the urologist told us that we definitely wouldn't be able to get pregnant at this point with out help. Those words were devastating for both of us to hear. I'm 27 and DH is 29. Neither one of us on either sides of our family have issues with having children. So im really holding onto the fact that there is a blockage somewhere. I'm trying to stay positive for us. He doesn't say much about it. He still thinks the tests could be wrong. He is not open to adoption or DS right now either, which I totally understand. We're not ready to tell family and friends yet either so I though I'd come here and see if there was anyone else in our position.

Im so sorry Hersey, I know what you mean about planning ahead in your life and what you see you future to be and then suddenly the road you were on seems to have come to a screaming holt!! I am lucky my Partner has sperm but i know how i felt when there was a chance that he didnt, he too id closed to donor or adoption!! I hope they find a blockage and you get some spermies!! I was allway sceptical for some reason that conceiving wouldnt come easy but i never thourght i would go through this!! Please keep us updated and vent when ever you want! I know it feels like you can only talk to yourself at the moment because he doesnt want to talk about it and you cant tell those who are close to you, so if you just need some support we are here! We have gone through alot over here in this forum and i couldnt think of better ladies to share my ups and downs with! They have been great support
Mel hows your BBT going??
Hoping- have you got you temp dip????

AFM- Holidays tommorow!!!!!!!!!!!! Found my little bird a new home!! He came to me at the right time (just after my chemical) so he has been good to have around but i am taking hime to a wild bird carer in Cairns so maybe he can get released! They said that the breed he is they can get very attached and will allways be looking for me so that makes me sad! Maybe if they still have him when im readt to go home i can pick him up and release him here aaaawwww my little Pedro im gonna miss him!

Hersey,sorry you got bad news! I am wondering about my DH swimmers too. I bought a microscope to check his and I haven't found but a few in my post intercourse fluid one time. Maybe when we get back from vacay he will let me do a semen only sample. It would make me feel a lot better to see some. But I totally understand the feeling of loss. To be so hopeful every month ad then to be told theres no chance, has to be crushing. We will all hope that its a blockage thats fixble.

And yes, stillfun,my temp went up .4 this morning and I was sure it would. Had strong O pains on left ovary yesterday for about 6 hours. Had an EPIC ovulation this monh....5 days of ewcm definately felt O yesterdayand had about 24 hrs of blazing OPK till today (maybe soy isoflavones worked???). If only a spermie got there. FX FX FX. On the downside, got a little yeast infection from so much moisture from cm and semen I guess But at least fertile time is gone so I can treat it....Good luck everyone!

stillfuntryin: Temping has been going well. I def Ovulated yesterday just as my Ovacue predicted. Even though we didnt get to move forward this cycle I'm happy to know that the ovacue works and do a practice round of temping so now I will know what to expect next month. So happy to hear you found a new home for your little birdie. I'm sure you will miss him. Its def. bitter sweet sending off a furbaby...or I guess I should say in your case a feather baby. lol!

Hershey412: I'm so sorry that you and your dh are going through this. I have been there and I want to let you know that it will get easier. It takes time and I remember feeling like I had lost someone very close to me as well. it was devastating. Good news a lot of success with varicocele surgery and having everything great as far as blood results is GREAT! I dont know where you are located but I highly recommend doing a free phone consult Dr. Turek. We told him over the phone what the lab results were and the results of the SA and he gave us the odds of success and the procedure he recommended. unfortunately my dh had cancer as a child and so our odds were 10% so it wasnt worth us to move forward. But it took my Dh a full year to start moving forward and now we are about 2 years in on and off using donor sperm. Only one chemical so far but it will happen. I hope that your Urologist gives you some good news soon! If you need anyone to talk to feel free to pm me. I know that right now there really isn't much that will make you feel better. Please keep us posted! I know having people to talk to and knowing I had support, even from strangers, it did help me cope some. Good Luck!!!

Well made it to town!! Cried like a baby when i gave Pedro up! Lucky DH was there, even he was sad!! I know he is going to a better home and is being released when he is ready, the person he is going to has heaps of the same birds around the same age so he will have buddys! Oh you should see my sun burn from the chopper ride with a singlet on!! SILLY ME.... anyways i will post tommorow, im still doing my BBT

OOHHH Mel i just checked your BBT!! What a nice O dip, now lets se that good rise!!!

Aw, stillfun, that's too bad you had to give up your baby bird - he was so cute! Sounds like he's going to a good place though. Have fun on your holiday!!!

Hersey, I'm sorry that you are dealing with this too. You spend so much time worrying about NOT getting pregnant, only to find out that you can't when you want to - it's hard to deal with. This is a really great group here though, so please feel free to vent and chat!

Mel, it's good to know that your ovacue is working just like it is supposed to at least, and to know that you definitely are ovulating!

AFM, nothing much...started doing OPKs yesterday. Much darker today but still not as dark as the control. Don't know what's up with my temp though - it dropped really low on CD 8 and is rising now but I haven't ovulated yet. BD'ed yesterday and will again tomorrow. I'm really just waiting to get back to civilization and get on with doing an IUI. Will be interesting to see what another SA result would be since hubby's been on lots of vitamins. Would be nice to see an improvement...

northernbabydream: I hope the viatmins are are helping your Dh tons!!! YEAH for IUIs. I wish I had the money to do a couple more. Maybe after we do some home insems! :)

stillfuntryin: Thanks as you mightve noticed silly me I was posting all my temps in Celsius on accident lol! I didnt even notice until my ovagraph told me that it couldnt go lower than 95.0 lol! I figured might as well stick it out for now and then next cycle I'll make sure to fix it haha!

AFM: Thursday is my appt. to check on my cyst. fingers crossed its all clear and I dont need surgery. I'm wondering if I ended up ovulating on that same side this month (if thats the case I'm glad we didnt insem) but I've been feeling pinching on that side the last couple of days so either the cyst is growing or I O'd on that side. Hopefuly its O. I'll keep you all posted! fingers crossed this next month is the month for those of us still waiting!! Hoping Everyone is doing well!!!

Mel, I really hope you are in the clear and don't need surgery!! Good luck.

Welcome Hersey, my husband also had azoospermia, I can say had because we had a SA done in January and it came back great! His was caused by a medication his doctor put him on, all that time we were ttc and would have never gotten anywhere if it wasn't for our fertility clinic and a urologist that agreed with what we thought was the problem.

Northernbaby, what vitamins did you put hubby on? Have you tried horny goat weed yet?

Going for doc apt tomorrow, crossing my fingers it's not too early to hear a heartbeat :)
