    Think I might need at least another day of wallowing.

    PM, so sorry for AF, take care of yourself x

    Code-sorry for rubbish test results. Have they said if it was just low or none at all? There are a few reasons why results can be poor. When ours came back with no sperm they redid a SA a month later. It was our FS who had a feel about and could tell that hubby had no vas deferns and did the bloods to confirm. Although it is horribly hard news to hear it does give a really defined plan of action, which takes away a lot of the day to day stress of TTC. I hope you are feeling better today x

    Hope everyone is good x

    Code, don't panic after one SA (easier said than done I know). If the test isn't carried out quickly enough, or in the right conditions, you can get rubbish results. Also, men have much more capacity for improving poor results with lifestyle changes/vitamins etc.

    Try not to panic, it really might not be the awful news you''re thinking right now.

    Big hugs xx

    Code- I'm sorry that your DH has had really crappy results. When we got ours I thought it was the end of the line, but his next one was slightly better. As MrsHappy said I hope that it gives you a definitive answer in order to move forward.

    It was a really bad day for everyone yesterday wasn't it?

    Thankfully it was a Friday lol!

    I don't know what to think from here on for us, OH isn't really on board with going through IVF, he thinks I should just be happy with the fact I have a daughter already. But it's not with him :-( I love my daughter to bits but she's always asking for a sibling and I can't give her that?! I really feel like a failure as a woman, and I'm fed up of seeing babies and pregnant people. I don't even like seeing the pregnancy threads on here being high up on the board :-(

    Oh my goodness lots of hugs required all round :grouphug:

    Code I'm so sorry your hubbys results were bad x

    hugs for your dh being insensitive PM its so strange the way they react sometimes x

    Hope your DH comes round to the idea of IVF Mrsdavo so you can move forwards with it x

    Hugs to all wallowers everyone needs a good wallow now and again I think x

    Totally non ttc related and slightly embarrassing but I once had an obsession with a rather cheesy american daytime show called sunset beach and have just discovered that someone has uploaded all 755 episodes to youtube! Believe me when I say if you are looking for background wallowing entertainment nothing beats it!

    hugs to all x
