Totally Bummed!

My hubby and I have been TTC since February, with no luck.  I know these things can take a while, but because of other things going on with my body, I decided to see an RE, which will be in two weeks.  (seems like it takes forever to get into one!)  In the meantime, I told my hubby he should get a semen analysis done just so we could bring those results to the RE in two weeks.  He had one done a year ago, and his results were fine.  This time, they did a strict morphology semen analysis done, also called the Kruger method.  So, we got his results in the mail Friday, and it's hard to read, but it did say % of abnormal sperm morpholoy = 100%.  What the HECK!!!  It literally ruined my entire weekend!  And my hubby's follow up appt with the urologist isn't until Thursday of this week, so now I'm left wondering what the heck is going on.  I'm totally bummed and totally stressed!!!

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this?  I'm hoping and praying this test was just a fluke, but I'm so worried.  I knew my body was having some issues, but I didn't think his were also. :-(

I just wanted to say im sorry you are going threw this. Ive not  been in that situation but me and DF decided that we should get checked out some time in november just to cover all bases.  Im not sure what that mean, but im sure the re can explain what it means to you, or have him call the office that did it and have them explain what it means.

I will keep you in my prayers,

Thanks Latrice. . . The waiting is just killing me!  This entire process moves so slowly.  For the first time ever, I'm starting to wonder if having a biological baby maybe just isn't in the cards for us?  The thought terrifies me!

Yes, my hubby's test was normal a year ago.  I don't know which type of S/A he had done last time though.  This time they used the strict morphology/Kruger method which is apparently a lot stricter.  I don't know. . . so worried!
