This will be short as no time or energy to say more.
The hospital results this morning were rubbish. Lots of tests but only one mattered – the attractively named “swim up test”. Not one sperm made it through so they are saying zero chance of conception for us going forward and it is irreversible. No more diagnosis planned and no hope of getting pregnant naturally unless God gives us a real miracle.
Only options left are IVF (moral and practical questions on this) and Adoption.
This may be end of the road for us. Wife and I are gutted. Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Thanks Caz, it certainly wasn’t the best!
I think it took a while for the implications of this to sink in. And also we had a lot of ups and downs on the journey of infertility treatment. This day was just the final kicking.
