My husband and I started the IVF process about 14 months ago. All it seems to be is endless blood tests and semen samples. In every sample they find no sperm.
However we got very excited and got our hopes up 2 weeks ago as it was our first appointment with the consultant. But she told us what we already knew - that there was still no sperm, and no reason why yet. He either has no sperm or there is a blockage. She also that my test results basically said that I have the fertility/hormone levels of a 39 year old (I'm 31). If he has got a blockage, they will extract the sperm from him and we can start, but it has a low chance of working because of me.
So she asked us to do more bloods and make the next available appointment to see her. We did, and the next appointment is June! In that appointment maybe she will tell us if we can start? If so, apparantly she has a waiting list of 8-10 months to do the sperm extraction.
This process is so long and I am losing faith rapidly. Does anyone have any experience of this or some advice please???
