Infertility Waiting

We are waiting. We exist in a time between now and possible success and failure. Waiting is very hard.

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.

Once again, good luck to you! :)

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.

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.

this is sad!  I have Varicocele and my doc told me its ok and can be corrected quickly

I am thinking of getting surgery now! How much does it cost?

[Caliban018]

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.

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.

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.

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.
