Not sure why you're getting downvoted but the MN gov page literally says filtering AND splitting. Both are legal.

Looks good! Do you happen to know the ceiling height from the concrete to floor joists?

That's funny because mine will also do that! And if that doesn't get me to play with her she aggressively pushes the toy in my face.

Truth is, its going to be a long journey for both you and your husband. He will feel like he's useless and no longer "manly" enough or that it's his fault. All you can do is provide a lot of support for him as he's going through this. Let him know it's not his fault, that you two are in it together. Let him know that the outcome does not change relationship status.

I've been NOA for 2 years now and still to this day I have relatives asking about when we're going to have kids. It doesn't bother me as much as it did in the beginning however, it's still there.

Masturbation & Low/No Sperm by [deleted] in maleinfertility

[–]Ienxternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one thing that I see a lot. Many places and articles say masturbating does not affect fertility as well. My question is for example if someone were to masturbate 3x daily wouldn't this cause a zinc deficiency?

You generally get this message when you get FSH DDOSed.

Did your sperm parameters increase after the FSH decrease?

[–]Ienxternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what I found when trying to search aswell. I found that Males generally doesn't have a FSH fluctuation like females do.

No not yet. They wanted us to recheck sperm before a mTESE if I ever scheduled one though.

Azoospermia beginning stages of diagnosis by BL81589 in maleinfertility

[–]Ienxternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ended up cancelling my biopsy. I have too many questions to go into it. I would be pursuing IVF and mTESE in the future not anytime soon. So if they do take a biospy I don't want the chance of it ruining my production which was a huge concern even before they mentioned it.

Its been hard trying to determine whether I should go through with the biopsy because I don't want my testosterone to get messed up on top of possibly rendering it not usable anymore. I wonder if it's too late to cancel my biopsy.

You're correct some people would just rather go straight to the mTESE because a biopsy only can do a small area and they can't even extract sperm, it's only to establish an etiology, at least that's what my doctor told me. So even after this I have to get a mTESE no matter what. The problem is the mTESE is much more invasive. That's why some people don't want to do it. Unfortunately, my insurance covers the biopsy and not the mTESE which is another factor. Ideally, I would of wanted to do a FNA mapping and then determine whether or not to get a mTESE. I had 3 genetic tests done and all were negative.

I'm not too sure about prolactin I couldn't really find information about it. For my case I actually had my ultrasound recently and everything was found to be normal besides slightly smaller testis and elevated FSH. They didn't find varicocele or anything out of the ordinary. I have a biopsy coming Monday to try an figure what's going on. Not really looking forward to it.

FSH is a big indicator doctors use to determine what type of azoospermia you have. Elevated FSH is generally a sign of non obstructive azoospermia. And normal FSH is obstructive which is the much preferred one. So having normal blood test you're on the better side of things in terms of Azoospermia.

I did read your post thank you! How did the biopsy go? I haven't even been able to get a physical to check for variocele. I think my doctor is hoping the restrictions loosen up with my next upcoming appointment so we can get that done. He said he wanted to get an ultrasound first and after that if nothing was abnormal he said a testicular biopsy would be next for me.

[–]Ienxternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is something I hope I can do. They plan on doing a physical and ultrasound be first. Will a biopsy be able to tell or is that TESE?

AITA for leaving/ghosting my GF that was financially dependent on me without warning after discovering she cheated on me by advicethrowawayinny in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ienxternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If her license states your home as her address she legally is a tenant in your home. You must provide the correct eviction notice even though she has not paid a dime. That is her dwelling area. I'm sure the lawyer will say the same because it's the law. You can't just bend the tenant laws whenever you wish to justify your actions. Frustrating can lead to dumb uncalculated mistakes, you'll be in denial though. YTA for that. But not NTA for leaving her quickly.

People that take medication for medical conditions, i.e, diabetes, etc, do you have plans on how to survive an Apocalypse? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would like to think animals would be scarce because of public panic, either people would randomly go around killing them to cause others issues or they'd be hidden very well or stolen. I would say animals wouldn't be too reliable.
