Kyriaki, it seems to me that when we are in the deepest dispair, that is when we need to be alone the LEAST! Isolation and seclusion make us vulnerable. God gives us others for a reason. To draw strength and support from when we are at our end.

I am so sorry. I was filled with anger and sadness that comes with getting no help at all by the medical staff here.
I was in mourning for a while now. Why? Well, my dh, doesn't want to do the sperm analysis. So, that reduces my all my chances of ever becoming pregnant. That is if I listen to the B.S. that my gyno is telling me. I still hold out for the chance that my prayer will be answered and if it is God's will for me and my family to have a child or children.
The fact that my dh doesn't want to do the sperm analysis, it seems that I am left here to languish with the hormone levels out of normal and the possiblity that I could be IR. When I approach my GP, for referral, he told me that as long my dh doesn't do the sperm analysis then he cannot do anything. I even told SOB, that I wanted to take back my health and to ignore my husband's desire. The doctor didn't hear me, instead he asked me if my husband loved me.
I am glad that you all got the help that you require in order to reclaim your health.
Kyriaki

I am sorry you're feeling so sad, you're in my prayers.. (((hugs)))
You need to find another doctor, someone willing to treat your PCOS without an SA from your husband.. The quality of your dh's sperm is of little relevance when it comes to the risks associated with untreated PCOS, and your doctor is insensitive to get hung up onto this. It really makes no sense.
It's true that there may be some sperm quality problem to further hinder ttc, but maybe not! That doesn't mean they shouldn't help you with PCOS.
Maybe try to find another doctor, someone who is focused more on you and your health...
Good luck and may better days come your way!

Well, first thing is first. Have you asked your DH why he won't take the test?? Sometimes it makes men feel inferior and really weirded out that they have to do such a thing....they feel pressured. When I asked my DH there were no questions, he just did it. I can't say as though it wasn't alittle scarey for him...not knowing what to expect or anything. But there are no other men there watching, the lab techs don't time you and really aren't interested with whats going on in that separate room as they are too busy trying to but the other samples on the glass strips to put in a computer so that it can be checked. Odds are, its not the man in most cases with women with PCOS.
I don't know any doctor that won't treat a woman with symptoms of PCOS just because their DH won't take a sperm count test. Thats totally rediculous! You need to go back into that office and ask one more time, tell him that he is being paid to HELP YOU, and that if He won't refer you to someone that can help you, that YOU will find a new doctor who will!! This is your body, and you need to take charge of it both by research and by living a healthier lifestyle now. Which in most cases isn't easy. But when you do, You will look and feel so much better about yourself!
I would also take the time to communicate with your DH. He needs to know how you feel and there should be a mutual agreement to help each other out if your both interested in Having Children. Alot of times it takes some selfless acts on our Husbands part and though something like this is hard for them, sometimes if the need is great enough, they will do anything to help. So take the time to communicate your feelings...and also to be sensitive to his needs as well.
Don't forget to talk with that OBGYN...they come a dime a dozen and if He isn't doing his job to help you, then you should move on to a doctor who will!
