Hi all,
We have been trying to Conceive since January 2014 without any pregnancies. We now know my DH has severe OATS - count was 0.1 million per ml, 0%morphology and zero motile. We thought it was Game over. Gp refereed him to a urologist locally who did basic tests and referrred on to Ramsay who trailed tamoxifen for 4 months to which we now have 0.4 million per ml and 4% motile (never felt so good hearing that)! So, Ramsay has given another 4 months And my gp has referred us to our local fertility clinic. My fertility seems ok, bloods normal and uss normal. I've reduced my bmi from a hideous 49 down to 37 while DH has been going through his tests. So, while we wait for my bmi to come down to 29 for the NHS ivf we were planning on starting our first private Icsi cycle in a few days time.
However, we had our appointment today for consent my scan and injection training. They also wanted to do another SA on DH. Well my scan was totally normal but unfortunately his sperm results have gone back to being unusable like before the tamoxifen. 0.1 mill per ml and none motile. Absolutely gutted. They have suggested retesting in 10 days after 10 days of abstinence and if still the same they will refer him for surgical extraction with only 40% chance of finding sperm. So not starting any time soon, if at all. It's starting to feel like we may never have a baby together.
Does anyone please have any advice? 10 days of abstinence seems very long compared to the normal 3-5?
Is it worth going for surgical extraction? The fertility dr today seemed more bothered about morphology / is that right? Ramsay didn't even mention it but to be honest when we last saw hi m he was more interested in his medical students than our consultation.
I'm exhausted.
