Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you and your wife the best in your fertility journey. I know that it can be an all consuming, emotional journey, and I wish you as much peace as possible during this process. My husband and I are undergoing our first IVF/ICSI this month, and we're hoping for the best.
May all that smiles, smile upon this month for you. Please remember that it is natural to feel frustrated and angry and hurt at times. But we live in remarkable days. We have hope where we might have had none. These procedures are hard, but hold on to each other and it can be borne. May life find its way to you both.
No news. We are kind of hovering on the edge of trying again, but almost too afraid to fail. This is really taking a toll on our relationship. Thank you so much for following us over this long time. I hope that we end up with good news soon.
Checking in after a long absence. Sorry not to see any exciting news. I think a couple of treatments in is the low point for a lot of people - us, certainly. Things did get easier to bear after a while. I have noticed a lot of couples hit rock bottom around the third or fourth cycle if things don't work within that frame, and of course it doesn't help if tries are limited.
Do what will give you no regrets whatever the outcome. I'll keep wishing for a great outcome for you.
I don't even know how I found your videos, but I am glad I did. You seem like such a sweet, gentle soul. I believe you and your wife will be parents one day. And great parents to add! There is a child for you, whether he/she will biological or adopted, that child is meant for you. Good luck to you sir! Things will work out for you and your wife.
I'm sorry, I can't tell you how much it may cost. This depends on your location and doctor. If the varicoele is an issue and it may cause infertility, if you have confidence in your doctor, you may think of this as an important investment.
Thank you so much. We are not irrelevant, but it is so easy to feel diminished by this process. In the end, I know that it may strengthen us and give us more to offer later, but today is hard.
I feel irrelevant and I am the woman... even when I do everything the way I am told... and even when there are good chances... all my prayers and wishes... it still is not up to me... some greater power or natural source or maybe some just think it is chance has the final say.
you are so right that the ache takes on new forms everyday...
fear and loss of hope and faith are so hard to live with.
We struggle through a similar situation everyday.
May peace and faith find you. In the end none of us has a role. . . be it god, nature, a doctor... we can want children with all of our cells... it is not in our hands.
It is a hard road to walk. And that wanting with every cell of my being is a very good way to put it. In large part, you are right, this is out of our hands, but I do need to care for myself more effectively. That is the only control left to us.
I really wish you and your wife the very best. I'm actually going to be starting the process, well actually my husband. He's Infertile and i understand it's a struggle because i see him struggle with it all the time. I feel bad but @ the same time we are in this together, and we also hope to have a child of our own. We are just starting this long journey and i see from your videos it's a very long and difficult process but i wish you and your wife the best. Good Luck in your journey!
My best to you on these early steps. May you each remember your love for each other as often as is possible. Make sure that you remember that there is more to life than this process, although it will at times take over everything. Make sure that once in a while, you take a holiday and just love each other for a bit. Take care of yourselves and your bodies and the process will be much more effective. Sleep, eat real food, move around lots. Laugh as frequently as you can. Take care!
Thank you for your expression of belief when my own has flagged. It is much appreciated. My best to you and I hope that you mange to maintain your positivity for yourself as well. It is an inspiration.
Well, for everyone who struggles with infertility there will be ups and downs. These are things that I remind myself of whenever I am down. Hang in there.
My thoughts are with you and your wife and for a happy outcome for you both. Bless you for sharing your experience, it it hard to be alone; comforting that others know your pain; yet saddening to know that others must suffer the same ache of empty arms.
My husband and I have had to deal with infertility for nearly 7 years now and it is an endless heartache.
The ache takes new forms every day. But the fact that there are people so desparate, so willing to commit to having children in their homes does bring some comfort. My thanks and my prayer that your dreams take shape and blossom.
lots of prayers being sent your way for you and your wife. i'm so sorry to hear that you are still struggling and in pain about this. my husband and i are also still w/o children, and it IS a particular type of pain that no one can understand unless they go through it. man it's SO hard....
My sincerest prayers for your success. May life take hold in your wife and may her body be the cradle she has been dreaming to be. Thank you so much for writing and I will look forward to good news.

Some day you will hold a beautiful happy baby in your arms.
Some day all of this will be behind you.
There may be heartache along the way.
It may not come the way you thought. But, in the end, it will be just as it should be. Never give up!
I'm believing this with you and for myself. Thanks for posting.. blessings.
