Looking for a ray of light from your personal experiences.?
Hi
This is not really a question. It is more a case of looking for advice from others with similar problems. I am really looking for encouragement and hope.
We have been trying to conceive baby number one for 1.5 years. I am 34 and hubby 38. He had lymphoma 10 years ago and was treated using chemo. I have multiple sclerosis that is fully under control and I am fine. I am on Avonex interferon weekly injections.
We recently visited the fertility specialist and this is where it all gets depressing:
Husbands morphology of sperm is 1 %. Plus the few he has don’t swim well.
I have a fibroid in the uterus, many cysts on my ovaries and endometriosis.
I have booked to have the fibroids and endometriosis removed and the doc has us tablets to decrease or insulin levels and prolactin levels. As both showed up high on the blood results.
So I am feeling very down in the dumps wondering if having a baby will ever happen for us.
So I guess I am asking for miracle stories and some hope. As I have been praying like mad but can’t quite believe that so much is going wrong with us. I mean when are we going to get a break in life and start seeing rewards.
So any of your own stories are welcome.

i am very sorry for your situation, remember never give up and never stop asking God for Miracle, i feel your pain and i will keep you in my prayer, god bless you!
I don’t have a story to tell, but just wanted to let you know I just said a little prayer for you two. I hope blessings come your way soon!!!
I will be honest with you, things look grim. But there is always a chance for things to get better. When my sister was TTC she discovered that she too had fibroid and her husband a low sperm count. They went through every fertility treatment out there and sadly… nothing! But then one night after consoling each other over this a little miracle happened and they conceived naturally. She had her period all through the pregnancy and was shocked to learn she was 3 pregnant and with a healthy baby. Even with her rare case of still menstruating in pregnancy, of her problems conceiving… this baby was born a healthy 7 lbs 9 oz at 38 weeks.
It can happen. But if it does not… prepare yourself. Look into your other options for being a parent. I have 4 biological children myself and one on the way but I also adopted and I can tell you there is no difference in the love you have. You and your husband seem like good people so I urge you to keep this option open.
I also urge you to keep a couple things in mind. The fibroids you have can be treated and you may be very capable of having a baby… but your husbands low sperm count may be getting in the way. You can consider a sperm donor in this case. You and your husband need to talk about this. Also, remember that there are so many fertility options out there now there is almost always some hope. Good luck to you and lots of baby dust.
