I guess this will be last post here. I think we finally figured out why we haven't conceived yet.

It's been ten months since the vasectomy reversal. Mike went to the office to do a semen analysis on Monday (May 1, 2006). We got the results back yesterday. The nurse said that his sperm count was 100 million. She said that was 'normal', but I think I've read that optimal is 400 million. Regardless.....I think motility of the sperm is our biggest problem. She said that 60% to 80% should be 'swimming' but only 5% of Mike's are.

I'm really disappointed about the results. I wished that I could have foreseen this and saved us $8500. I'm not angry with Mike though. He did everything he could to try and give me the opportunity to be a mommy. I guess it wasn't meant for me to be one though. Fate can be so cruel sometimes, but I try to remember that everything happens for a reason. We don't always know what that reason is at the present moment, but somewhere down the road we might realize what it was. I'm sad about the results, but what can I do? Life goes on.

I guess Mike's daughter was right a few years ago when she was angry at me, she said that one thing was for certain......SHE would be a mommy someday and I never would be and that was why I have to adopt dogs. She was right. She is the mother of a 19 month old baby boy........ and I have 2 dogs.
