Me and dh have just been diagnosed with male factor infertility after 18months of trying. We have a GP appointment June 6th to hopefully get the ball rolling. I presume now we have a diagnoses we won't have to wait the 2 years we were initially told as we have zero chance of naturally conceiving.
What will be the next steps after a referral? Will I need more tests done? I think I will need my bloods repeating before a referral. And dh will need a repeat sa, although it won't really change things as he has 100% antisperm antibodies.
I'm worried that the process will take a very long time with waiting on nhs lists as I'm already 34. How long did you guys have to wait between where I am now to your first ivf?
I look forward to getting to know you and making friends for this tough journey ahead. Me and dh are still reeling from the news and keep randomly crying at the unfairness of life sometimes :-(
