Intake appointment
My wife and I had our intake appointment at a fertility clinic today. Pretty much just confirmed all my tests that have already been done by the VA. I have NOA with high FSH, about 29 to be exact.
Next they referred me out to a male urologist and discussed what will likely be next. Another semen analysis in about June or July, and more genetic testing, Y chromosome micro-deletion test. The doctor had no appointments until June so it’s going to suck to have to wait. I’m also kinda scared about the micro-deletion test because it’s so damn definitive as to we can proceed with anything or it will just be the end of the line for me. It’s so confusing to me because I don’t know if I should be on any vitamins or supplements since I literally have ZERO sperm. It makes sense that all that stuff can help someone with low numbers or weak swimmers but in my case it seems like that stuff won’t help. Is there anyone with experience in that department that maybe had ZERO and you took something for months and it helped ??
I’m feeling kind of defeated already and it’s just the start of the fertility journey for us, if anyone can help me with any advice I’d really appreciate it.
Another thing I’m struggling with is that they told us if sperm are found and embryos grow, they can do genetic testing to rule out any diseases they might carry and therefore eliminating the growth of those embryos. That doesn’t sit right with me at all being that I am a Catholic and I’m trying my best to live a decent life here. It’s all so heavy. I’m 35 years old and all I have ever wanted was to be a father. Anyway, I have open ears here, thanks in advance!
