Finally, some good news!
Well, our journey down the fertility path has been quite frustrating thus far (and we're only just beginning). We were referred to a fertility clinic and I took the initial appointment by myself. I've already discussed the tests I had done, and now it's Jason's turn. He's had his sperm analyzed twice so far. The first time, through my gynocologists office and the second through the fertility clinic. The first test showed that he had strong swimmers, but low overall volume. The second test showed low volume as well. We got two very different reports from the fertility clinic about the results of the second tests. First we were told that basically, Jason had no viable sperm. Needless to say we were devistated. Then, I called the clinic back to ask more questions and was told by the director of the lab that he did have viable sperm, but that the volume was low so we might need toYconsider in vitro, but we should sit down with the doctor. In the meantime, Jason FINALLY got in to see the urologist. We had him read the analysis results and he said that his "swimmers" were strong, and moving in the right direction, but that we needed to increase the volume. SO.... how, I ask you, does a fertility clinic allow a couple to walk out of their office thinking they won't be able to concieve when that very well may not be the case. I was LIVID! However, we were overjoyed at the news from the urologist. So, now we have some hope. Jason will need to have more tests run so we can see if there's a pattern and if we can get his volume up. Finding male fertility supplements is not easy, let me tell ya. We're still waiting to hear back from the adoption agency about Korea. They said they were checking with their office in Korea and we would know something in the next week or two. GOD bless, everyone going through this process. It requires courage, stamina, and a whole lot of faith.
