Just found out about being infertile.

[C13m91988]

Hi Guys. It's my first post, and I'm struggling. Me and my partner had been trying for a baby for well over 2 years and it's something I just presumed would happen and that she was stressing over it checking her ovulation apps etc.

To cut a long story short, I've just produced a second sperm sample after the first one showed no live sperm and the second one has shown the same result.

Is it normal to feel completely useless? Like I've let down my partner and family etc about being grandparents/aunties etc.

It feels like nothing anyone can say around me makes me feel better.

Hence why I am reaching out.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Craig

Hello C13m91988,

I can see you've not had any replies yet - this is probably as you are still exploring your options moving forward. The More to Life community is for those who are no longer pursuing treatment/other options. You might be better of posting on our Fertility Network forum - healthunlocked.com/fertilit...

I hope this helps. If you would like to talk please give us a call on 01424 732361.

Best wishes,

Hannah

Hi Craig. I'd echo Hannah's post about the infertility U.K. Forum. It's really supportive and you can feel confident in posting just how you feel and we all support each other.

I'm so sorry to hear of your struggle. It can feel very isolating but one of the benefits of the fertility forum is you realise you're not alone. This has given me strength.

I'll look out for you on there. Perhaps just give a little introduction to your situation and you'll see support flooding in. A chap posted on there today and has been given instant support.

Thinking of you,

Vic x
