Hi a longtime MN lurker here.
After 3 years of trying (and have never been pregnant) DH has just received the results of his tests indicating that he has both a low count and motility. The clinic's assessment is that we are unlikely to be able to conceive naturally.
My tests indicated that I am ovulating with very regular periods so it seems like the male factor is the real issue.
His GP seems pretty clueless regarding the whole process generally and are pretty slow to get going.
I am currently kicking myself wondering why we didn't go for the tests earlier (we started trying when I was 31 and I turn 35 next year but time just seems to have passed us by) and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to absorb the news at the moment. I just wondered what advice people have to get through this time and all the "what ifs?"? And with little guidance from our GPs, what should we be asking for next? We're in West London.
Thanks for listening.
