I almost forgot, one last thing. Allow yourself to enjoy this. I know it sounds crazy right now but it is a process to reach your baby, enjoy all of the "good" what ifs and possibilities. Like I always told myself "there will be plenty of time for tears and anguish later if need be, I'm going to take pleasure in the 'what if it works' right now, it may be all I have to enjoy, then again -it may not!". We are so hoping for you both.
We have been trying to take this advice to heart, but really, there is so much anxiety, which isn't helpful. I tend to naturally fear the worst, perhaps to save myself the disappointment of failure. I know this isn't useful at all and I'll try to put it aside. Thank you!
So many prayers for you and your wife. Please tell her she is in my thoughts as she undergoes supression and superovulation. I know it's awful but it will one day be a distant memory as she deals with morning sickness! I want this almost as bad for ya'll as I did myself. You're in our prayers that all goes smoothly and that you are blessed beyond belief with a beautiful healthy baby....or two!
OH MY GOD..... I cant believe it man, we have just decided to go down exactly the same path as you!!!! so yes i must say i do know the same feelings and emotions etc.. I've been depressed for the past couple of days ever since we got the bad news from the male fertility expert, he pretty much said "Natures is a bitch, you can never get your wife pregnant naturally.. sorry" it was like a knife through the heart for me, feelings of failure as a guy etc.. we have to keep in touch mate, cheers
I don't think there is any good way to get the news. I was devastated and it lasted for months. I'm not sure I'm over it yet. But 10 years ago, what we are about to attempt might have been impossible. So in this we are blessed. I do hope that your own path ends well!
Thank you very much. I am trying to stay positive, but I'm naturally a worrier. I'm also not thrilled about the side effects on my wife. Hopefully this will all be worth it.
The procedure sounds quite promising if you ask me, with today's technology they will surely find atleast one sperm that is able to be utilized. I wish you the best Bernard, i'll keep you in my thoughts and will be looking forward to the good news.
Both the urologist and the fertility doctor are also optimistic that they should be able to find viable sperm. There are a lot of unknowns, and at the best the odds are not with us. But sometimes the bread has to fall butter side up.
