Re: a man full of questions....
Hi Husband,
I totally understand where you are. My husband and I were there. First, go to a fertility doctor. Also known as a 'Reproductive Endocrinologist'. They are the real experts and while your current doc may have some infertility knowledge they are usually not the experts. My OB told me that I was too young to have these problems, well obviously he was wrong.
After seeing the RE we both went through a battery of tests, HSG, Sperm Count, Blood work ,etc. We discovered that not only was I not ovulating but my husband had sperm issues. The RE said that on our own our chances of conceiving were almost 0%. So we went ahead with treatment. I had surgery for endometriosis, a d&c, and ovarian drilling. Then I took Femara and HcG trigger shot (which forces your body to ovulate with in 36 hours) then we did intra-uterine insemination. I'm now 13 weeks pregnant. My husband and I also wondered about God's timing. But we knew that it was his will for us to have kids and we believe God gave us medicine to be used. If it means anything my husband has been a minister for 15 years so I'm sure he had the same thoughts as you.
Sometimes if we want something, we have to take control and do what we know is best. I wish you the best and I pray that you and your wife are holding a little one soon.
