Waiting for +OPK!

Hi all, so my husband and I are in the process of starting our first IUI. He was diagnosed with azoospermia and even after varicocele repair, still nothing. We have decided to go with a donor and are both very excited. We have our vials ordered and are waiting for the right time. I am 26 with no known fertility issues and will be doing a natural cycle. Really nervous and need words of encouragement. We are going on 3 years TTC and are definitely ready!

  • Good luck to you and your husband Missksea! This is a very exciting time for you. Just a warning...the 2 week wait after your IUI is torture. So try to have lots of things planned to keep you busy those 2 weeks. Other than that,just try to relax and enjoy it.
  • Hello Missksea!

    I am going through the EXACT same thing, I read your story outloud to my husband and he thought I had written it!

    My husband also has azoospermia, had a varicocele repair AND testicular biopsy and still nothing. We chose a donor through California Cryo and I go for my very 1st IUI tomorrow and I am super excited.

    Becky, thank you for the warning about the 2ww, I will try and keep myself busy.

    Missksea, you are NOT alone.
  • Thanks Becky! I am prepared for TWW as I experienced those when we first starting trying! They are horrible! lol! Trying to stay relaxed this time around!
    Artist, thanks for letting me know we are NOT alone. I feel so much like we are as all of our friends get pregnant at the drop of a hat. We also had a biopsy and all that was found was abnormal sperm. I have to say our men are very strong and selfless to be doing this for us to have a family! Good luck to you!
  • I very glad to read of others who are having fertility issues on the male side! I felt like I was alone! I am 25 and married to my amazing husband but wee will unfortunately never be able to have biological children. We have also chosen a California Cryobank donor and will do our first try in June. I'm glad you posted your struggles and know you aren't alone! Sending baby dust to all of you!!!!
