    My coworker just started IVF after two months of trying at her doctors recommendation and her husband hasn't been evaluated yet....like what??

    I do wish both families the best. They should talk about the causal factors of these issues in men and how we can change our lives to avoid this happening. Makes me feel more thankful to be a father

      Sad part there is certain religious communities that wants to ban IVF because it is not natural. But in reality it had helped so many people to have kids of their own.

    Thank you so much for sharing this story. We are going to have to get a MTESE as well and we're hoping to be blessed with a child through IVF. It feels good to see us represented and to know that we're not alone in this journey. Thank you for giving us hope in this rough time.

    Before a couole say I do.
    1. They should both conduct fertility tests
    2. They should get a partenity test done once the baby is born.
    Saved headaches several years down the line.

    Clomid is so cheap and it’s generic yet insurance won’t cover it for male fertility simply because it’s also used by steroid users to recover.

    To be honest 25% compared to the 75% that DO get tested is not bad, 🤷‍♂️

    Hey, I whacked it into a specimen cup for testing in the past... no big deal... BTW, lots of strong little swimmers at the time... of course, I'm old now, but, hey, there was Tony Randall and now Bobby DeNiro... ;-P

    I find it funny he took three years to get tested. Like has he taken any other tests like STDs or idk. Remember some of those can make ur batter bad. And dont always have symptoms. I feel bad for the kid that is born from this union. They will be known as this mans child.

    Still do not understand why are people so bent up in having their own kids? If someone really loves kids and are reproductively challenged, why not go the adoption route? Why carrying your DNA so important? In this case why can’t the women use a male sperm donor? Wouldn’t that be easy, instead of going through all the hoops ? These doctors and hospitals will sure exploit the vulnerability of these wannabe parents! Please try n consider other options

      Humans are animals. It's a natural instinct to want your own offspring who is genetically yours.

      A lot of people think they'll be better parents to their own offspring then realize they just don't like parenting all together. A lot of those kids they had who they thought they'd love end up in foster care😢

    • @ShinbiBelldandy

      Throwing out adoption is actually reckless. The process can be very expensive & you can do everything right & still not get to adopt a child. That's just as upsetting.
