TK and I were getting pretty frustrated at this point. I hadn't thought of it, but TK offered to get tested. I didn't argue, but I just figured if his counts are low, we just have sex every other day instead of every day. My trust book didn't have more than 2 pages on men being the reason for infertility, so I had nothing to worry about, right? Wrong.
TK's semen analysis came back abnormal. Low counts, VERY low motility. A quick webmd lookup told me this was bad, very bad. The phrase "low chance of getting pregnant naturally" was floated. But, we hadn't gotten a chance to talk to Dr. General yet.
I had a dinner that night that I should have cancelled. I was obviously upset and preoccupied. But a friend was in town and I wanted to see her. This was the same time when pregnancies really started to bother me. It was announced at dinner that a friend of ours was pregnant. She got married more than 6 months after me. I was being lapped. I had to leave.
TK was upset when I got home, and we cried together.
The next morning, we spoke to Dr. General and she went through the results and said they were fine, we could still get pregnant, we're young and healthy and no, there's nothing TK could take to improve his numbers. Dr. General sucks.
I emailed the results to my OB-GYN who said TK should see a urologist. Again, in my ignorance, I had no idea why. As I would soon find out, there can be hormornal and/or structural reasons for low sperm counts. He made an appointment.
I also did my search on google and read about every supplement that might help and took my credit card over to GNC.
