close [x]
so results came back. :( not good news. Doc says his scores came back below normal in more then a couple areas, and he thinks this could be the problem. after three years I am thinking maybe i should see a specialist. im so stressed. I wonder how long it will take before the poking and proding. if i see a specialist will they be willing to take advice and start treatment right away? or make me wait even longer, i know i am young but really!? three years?

My first post disappeared..... UGH. I wanted to let you know that you are not alone, although it may feel like that at times. Fertility issues are not really talked about, but MANY people are experiencing difficulties. I would suggest going to an infertility specialist with all of your results. My sister went to an RE (reproductive endocrinologist). She found one that she LOVED and it made all the difrence in the world. The cost will really depend on what your insurance will cover and what they won't, it can be expensive. If you find an RE in your area, go speak to them if possible. They will be with you through a very difficult yet exciting time and you want to feel comfortable with them. There are many forums online that are more active then this one. My sister found a lot of support at a family forum on a sperm bank site. Women and a few men talk about a variety of treatments they have gone through. They discuss IUI, using sperm donors, IVF, medicated treatments and unmedicated treatments. My sister has a friend on the forum that started out using donor sperm becasue her husband had very low numbers. They tried12 cycles, no luck, they moved to IVF and found that they could use her husband's sperm. They are now expecting and getting ready to have an anatomy scan in a few days. Whatever you decide to do please know that you are not alone, and if anything the RE may LIKE the fact that you are younger, since your eggs are "fresher" . Good Luck!

First off you are not too young to start a family. If you and your husband feel ready to take on that responsibility then there is no one who can tell you not to b/c that is a decision that can only be made by the two of you. I had my son when I was 23 and I think that has made all the difference in my ability to handle the challenges of a preschooler.
As far as seeing a specialist goes what they most likely will do is take a look at the work-ups from your doctors and maybe do some in depth testing to try to create the best plan that will work for you guys particular situation. I feel your pain as I have been trying to get pregnant with my second child for about a year now with absolutely no luck whatsoever. I hope this helps and feel free to contact me if you need a shoulder to cry on we're all here for each other.
