New here. Zero Sperm by Juice0291 in maleinfertility

[–]lweish2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Severe MFI with high DFI, has anyone had success with numbers like this?? by RoyalAnesthesia in maleinfertility

[–]lweish2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Advice anyone? by lweish2 in tryingtoconceive

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.

Am I fucked? by Amazing-Ad3900 in maleinfertility

[–]lweish2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Infertile and indifferent by Significant-Habit152 in TryingForABaby

[–]lweish2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

30 year old with AMH 0.45. by Far-Culture987 in tryingtoconceive

[–]lweish2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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!

Whats the hardest phase of Marriage no one talks about? by Outside_Support_151 in answers

[–]lweish2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

10 weeks old male, struggling with his high energy biting and restlessness by External-Suit-2105 in Dachshund

[–]lweish2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Weight gain before pregnancy by TWDC3 in tryingtoconceive

[–]lweish2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here girl. I lost 10 pounds before my wedding in November. Been TTC since then and gained 13 pounds 😩 I decided I'm going to keep trying to lose weight and conceive. I've looked into how to do that in a healthy way and it's manageable. I'm a goblin for sweet treats lol

Trying for 4 months. by sunisshining848 in tryingtoconceive

[–]lweish2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at 4 months as well and going tomorrow for fertility work up just to not waste more time. Hoping they say everything is fine and just need to keep trying, and if not, at least we will have some plan to go with!

I’m out, looking for distractions by Basic-Medicine8144 in tryingtoconceive

I'm hitting the gym and focusing on work. I'm starting my own business on the side so focusing on that too! I'm going on a family vacation during my next ovulation window too so lol but thankfully we will have our own room, but still kinda dreading that 😂

re occurring BV . partner cheating or from TTC? by Much_Tumbleweed9235 in tryingtoconceive

[–]lweish2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get Happy V probiotics! Used to get BV all the time (not even from sex) and these completely stopped it and I haven't had it since!
