On March 4, 2008, Mike had a semen analysis done and we received the results later that same day. The results were very poor and are as follows:

Sperm count: 13 million (should be at least 20 million)
Sperm motility: 10% (should be at least 50%)
morphology: 2% (should be at least 14%)

The RE suggested IVF. There is no way we can afford to have ANY procedures done. So our chances are slim to none of ever conceiving a baby.

I guess Mike's daughter was right when she told me that she would be a mom and I never would and would always have to adopt dogs.

I can't begin to describe the pain I am feeling. I tried so hard not to cry in front of Mike because I don't want him to feel guilty or that I blame him for this, but I couldn't help it and the tears fell. I cried for two days. I am better now, guess I'm all cried out.

We will continue 'trying' even though it's a lost cause, but I'd rather keep trying than give up and always wonder 'what if I hadn't given up?'

I try to keep in mind that it only takes ONE little sperm.
