Well, my husbands semen analysis wasn’t great at all. He has a low sperm count BUT, they said that it’s common for that to happen in the first analysis and they would like to do another analysis just to make sure the results were accurate. They also started talking to us about the reality of him having a low count and what that could mean for us. I had already decided to put him on supplements simply because it couldn’t hurt for him to take them. Of course the RE’s don’t necessarily believe in supplements but it’s not their job to believe in them. I believe that God put natural herbs on this earth and if we would simply try, those herbs could possibly help with many of the ailments we suffer from on a daily basis. Anyway, so the doctor started talking to us about IUI and IVF.
I know a little bit about both procedures but honestly, I’m not ready to talk about that yet. Who knows…maybe IUI or IVF ARE part of God’s plan for my life but I need a little while to process that. I want to wait until after we get another semen analysis before even talking about it. I would also want to know WHY my husband has a low sperm count. I feel like there HAS to be an explanation for it. He’s not overweight, he doesn’t drink or smoke, he lives a pretty healthy lifestyle so I feel that either the results were incorrect or there has to be an explanation for them. Either way, we want to take our time through this process. We would never want to make any hasty decisions. I don’t know the answers to many of my questions but I know this…God has a plan for me and in due time, that plan will be revealed.
Jeremiah 29: 11 says: For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
I trust God and his plan for my life…
