Dh's appt
Dh went to his appt with the new urologist today. Come to find out there was no point in doing the scans to check for varicoceles because most of his sperm aren't shaped right. They are too round to be able to even penetrate an egg. Then, there are a majority of others with tails that aren't even swimming. Poor dh even got to look at them through the microscope. :( Supposedly the good news is that there are some normal ones that would be able to fertilize an egg with ICSI, if my eggs are normal. HA! At this point I even have to wonder if that would be possible. The urologist is supposed to call the RE and let him know exactly how bleak our situation is.
The urologist listed some vitamins that he wants dh to take for at least three months before we do ICSI. He has another appt on Feb. 12.
Dh has been so sad and depressed that right now I'm just hoping he can make it home from across the bay in one piece in rush hour traffic.
And, this day is commemorated by my best friend going into labor 12 days early. Most likely everything is going to be okay, but we will always be able to remember the child's b'day as the day we found out that there was absolutely no chance of us ever getting pregnant naturally, and that IUI is even a very long shot.
I'm going to go stick my head in the sand.

I'm sorry about the news too, but at least you have an answer. And the doc does think you can be successful with more advanced treatments. Hopefully the supplements will work. I put my DH on them too a few months before we conceived. He also quit letting the cat sit on his lap for long, to her everlasting dismay, because we realized how HOT he got down there when she lounged there :-) Seriously, take care of each other. You'll get through all this.
