DP and I will have to undergo IVF as he has a zero sperm count. We are waiting to be see by a specialist but in the meantime can anyone please tell me exactly what I have to 'do' in the IVF process. Not medically, but do I have to be operated on? What is the process for the woman?
At the risk of sounding very ignorant I'm not sure what's involved (I know about the sperm being injected into the egg with ICSI and the medical side). I have a ds from a previous relationship so they aren't testing me for any fertility problems. I know DP is having surgical sperm retrieval, but after that, as the woman, what happens?
Sorry I know this sounds jumbled, I'm sure you can all appreciate the confusion and jumbled state of mind I am in. Also, I am aware IVF won't be funded as I have a DC, does that mean the sperm retrieval procedure will need to be funded by us?
