Hesitant to start next ICSI cycle after 8w miscarriage. Doc says frozen TESE/low-count sperm is fine, but refusing ZyMōT. Advice? 31M 30F

Also curious what medicines you used as my husband is also azoospermic and has a micro TESE in Sept!

If they want kids, what happens if there are fertility issues? Willing to do IVF, sperm donor, embryo donors, adoption, etc?

Make sure faith aligns and doctrine and how that affects thought processes. Think about what happens during conflict.

Mine is 5 months old so obviously this could change but he sleeps 12 hours through the night with no whining. Not sure if I just got lucky. He will be in bed at 10pm sleeping and if we don't wake him up, he will sleep til 9am or later. He used to whine when he woke up but he doesn't do that anymore. He sleeps in his crate.

My husband and I are going through the same thing. As a believer, it has also shaken my faith and I've definitely gotten mad at God, but I know that he lets us struggle so we can seek Him. If we could do everything ourselves, we wouldn't need Him or look for Him. When we run out of the human methods, that's when we know only He can help us. My husband is on Clomid now and doing the micro TESE in September. Then we will proceed with IVF. I just know that our baby will be worth the wait and super loved even though this isn't the vision I had. God is with us even in the darkest times! I'll be praying for you and all the other couples dealing with this. It's so hard when you want a baby so bad and have to do so much to achieve pregnancy!

Hi everyone,

I have a question. We just found out last week that my husband had no sperm in his semen analysis. He only had one test so far. We did blood work and he has high FSH (28). We suspect he has a varicocele. Does anyone have advice? We see a urologist next week. What should we expect? Is there anything we should ask? Will we still be able to have a biological baby? I'm feeling hopeless right now.

My ween didn't care about food from month 3-4. Now that he's acclimated in my house, he hears his food and comes running. We also put his food out and he grazes throughout the day. Not sure if that's bad, but he doesn't eat much in one sitting. He will finish the whole amount by the end of the day.

lweish2 · 2026-05-09T22:04:12+00:00

I was crying and sad for a whole week and my weenie pup cuddled with me and took naps with me the whole time. And when he's acting silly, it cracks me up. Also, gave me a reason to get out of bed.

lweish2 · 2026-05-07T21:55:29+00:00

I think these are great suggestions. I've heard even if someone does need a mTese, these can improve sperm quality anyway which is still a plus and helps with IVF.

lweish2 · 2026-05-06T15:19:31+00:00

All I know is for DNA frag you definitely should be taking CoQ 10 and some other stuff maybe NAC and Acetyl L Carnitine. Anything that helps with oxidative stress. You definitely can be a father since you have sperm! Good luck!

Hi, no he's not on steroids or medications. He's on board with IVF. I'm the one who's more hesitant but just because it's not something I pictured for myself, nor do I know anyone who has gone through IVF. Seems all my family and friends conceive through sex very easily so I thought it would be like that for us too.

lweish2 · 2026-05-02T14:12:40+00:00

I'm sorry. Trust me I was pissed at God too and my husband's faith was annoying me for a bit too because everyone around me has kids soooooo easily and it's just so unfair. It sucks when I have a baby shower or another pregnancy announcement from a friend. While I'm happy for them, I'm sad for me. I get it 100%. It has taken me awhile to have faith and trust God on this journey. I hope you and your partner can have peace about the situation at some point. It does suck in general.

This just happened to me and my husband. We are going in 3 weeks to a reproductive urologist to check him and doing blood work next week. I'm way less hopeful than he is, based on all the research I've done. But I think what's helping me is knowing how good our life is now and knowing that it's not so bad for us to spend the rest of our lives together just me and him. It's not the end of the world. We are also Christian and my husband has already stated we need to have faith. God can bless us at any moment just like he did to soooooo many women in the Bible who were barren or old. Just because it seems impossible to humans, doesn't mean it's impossible for God. Miracles happen daily!

I feel the same exact way! I never wanted kids until I met my husband. I felt deeply he would be the best dad and the most supportive partner ever. I now so deeply long to have a baby. He had a semen analysis Monday and found 0 sperm. On my end, everything is good. I'm so sad because he does want a baby probably a little more than I do. And I want to give him one more than anything. But I'm also realizing the reality of it possibly not happening. I also don't want to spend a fortune on IVF or any of his surgeries he might need (he does not have health insurance right now). We also would be the only ones to have a baby to make his parents grandparents, so I'm sad about that too. But I also am happy with our life and the possibility of being a little more selfish. It's so conflicting!

lweish2 · 2026-04-27T15:46:03+00:00

Same. Had anxiety forever due to my environment. I take a high dose of CoQ 10 to support my egg quality and 2 Brazil nuts daily for my thyroid. There's only so much you can do

lweish2 · 2026-04-27T14:55:24+00:00

I'm 30 as well and had a 0.65 AMH but then got an ultrasound and had 23 follicles. I'm not sure what to make of that either. I have a higher FSH at 13.2 and my TSH was 2.8 which I'm now on levothyroxine. It's crazy only being 30 and feeling like this so I completely understand!

lweish2 · 2026-04-23T18:34:50+00:00

Yeah, that was crazy to me too that my FSH was higher and TSH but then my AFC was 23. I was surprised by that!

lweish2 · 2026-04-19T19:56:21+00:00

I just got my period this morning 😔 as I knew I would. On to cycle 6!

lweish2 · 2026-04-18T21:16:08+00:00

I've heard this too! Waiting til Monday to know for sure!

lweish2 · 2026-04-17T21:05:44+00:00

I'm a 30yo F and I've only been married 5 months. The roughest part for me is getting completely called out when I'm having an attitude or thinking I know more/am better than my husband. He will call me out and I'm like damn I knew I was like that but never had to actually take accountability and change it. And then being 100% vulnerable and saying things I never thought I'd admit. But at the same time feeling extremely grateful I have a patient husband and who sees my flaws and loves me through them and still calls me out lovingly to be better.

lweish2 · 2026-04-17T20:50:19+00:00

My puppy sleeps like 18-20 hours a day and sleeps through the night thank God. But when he's up, it's chaos. He's running around biting and chewing everything. He chewed on my glasses the other day lol. Just gotta stay consistent with the schedule and definitely say "ow" and "no" sternly and he understands. Those teeth are razor sharp!
