Heartbroken

Yesterday I went to my follow up appointment at the obgyn with high hopes. We would go over our test results and I would be put on Clomid to induce ovulation. All would be great and we'd be well on our way for our BFP. Instead, the news I received was particularly devastating. My results came back the same as they did several months ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS. The HSG test came back clear, my tubes are open. But, our SA came back with a zero count....none present. How could this be?

We have now had a day to process and have quickly scheduled a retest for the end of the week. We are being cautiously optimistic. We know it is very rare for a second test to come up any different than the first. This journey to conceive has been wrought with obstacles, pitfalls, and heartbreak. I can only say that when this baby finally does come to us, it will be more cherished than I ever imagined possible, if only for the struggle we have had in attempts to expand our family.

I am also extremely impressed with my husband. This diagnosis is earth shattering for the both of us and he has, understandably, taken it very hard. But, he has also accepted this as our new challenge and has bravely said he will do what it takes for us to move forward. And for that, I love him all the more. These difficulties will not break us but make us stronger as a unit and bring us closer together in love. I thank God for that but also pray that He send us our little one soon.
