OUR INFERTILITY JOURNEY | Episode 1, Male Factor Infertility, & Azoospermia Diagnosis ️‍🩹

Started watching you for doodle content and fell in love with you guys. I’m excited to be with you on your journey. I love how you are so honest about the bad as well as the good. Praying for you both. ❤️

My husband and I had/has male factor infertility. My husband has several issues. We did a round of IVF after 4 years of trying and it was a failed attempt. We decided to turn to to foster to adopt. 9 months later we had a 2 day old baby boy placed with us. 2 and half years later we adopted him, our miracle child. Good luck, remember that there is always other options and adoption is an amazing option.

My daughter faced the same issue, but luckily her fertility treatment was successful and I have a 15 year old grandson!

I had a very similar situation to you guys. My husband had a car wreck at 18 and landed on his testicles at 120mph when he was launched from the car. That caused him to also have male infertility. We started trying at 29 to have a baby. Five years went by and we decided to get tested at the doctors and found that his count was very very low. We started a foster care application over the next few years and researched the process of adoption. When the paperwork was all done I felt like I had the flu. I didn't turn it in yet because I was so tired which was a good thing because I was pregnant finally after 8 years. My pregnancy was easy and my son was very healthy. I was being impatient thinking things had to be on my timetable and I just had to wait until it was time. I do want another one but we might just adopt since there are so many kids in the foster system.

GOD is greater than the highs and the lows

Thank you for sharing your story! Keeping you guys in my prayers. ❤

I just came across your channel! I can not imagine what that’s like to go through that, but I’ll be praying for you both to get your miracle 🤍

We have struggled with male factor infertility, I’m sorry y’all are struggling with it as well. Have hope, there are options, we’ve tried all of them. We ended up getting pregnant naturally with our first after my husband started taking clomid (it helps sperm production in men). The semen analysis still said his sperm count was very low and the doctor said the odds of use getting pregnant on our own was like less than a 1% chance and it did happen.

The second time around we struggled, we knew we would have issues again. My husband tried clomid again, his count looked a bit better but still low, then we tried iui. Medicated and non, nothing. 9 tries with that, nothing. So we looked into invocell, tried that and nothing fertilized on its own. We did a round of I’ve and had ELEVEN embryos. Got pregnant the first transfer.

So there are options, and they seem overwhelming and they are hard, but keep the hope. It will happen however it is supposed to.

Also, do not let them put him on testosterone! It is a sperm killer, non fertility urologists don’t know really know this.

You both are so brave to share this story with the world of y-tube. Please keep each other close and communicate with each other. Make sure this is what you both want to share this with everyone. It’s such a sensitive subject ❤

Love y’all’s story!!! I can definitely relate ❤
I love your outlook of “why not us” very eye opening and gives me a different perspective. Thanks soooo much for sharing your journey. Can’t wait to watch more :)

This is my first time watching your vlog thank you for sharing your story with us sending u hugs n prayers for u both

Thank you to Matt for being so open to talk about all of this! It's personal and there's a stigma around it so it's awesome that he's so willing to share

Britt and Jared’s videos would be comforting for y’all to watch, as they are struggling this way too.

God is good all the time pray blessings for you ❤❤

Dear Baile , You pray for God which is good ,I recommend you to try to find The Prophet Hank Kunneman ,He will pray for Matt and you ,I know for sure a miracle will happen.

I'm praying for you both.

Yeah when my 33 year old son in law was diagnosed with cancer a week before their third child was born and died and left my daughter with 3 little kids the youngest 8 months old, then 4 and 6 years old was the day I worked out that there is no God and if there is he's not worth knowing.

I’m so sorry y’all are going through this but God is writing an amazing testimony and I know y’all will be blessed through this. I suffered with infertility for 6 years (the dreaded “unexplained infertility” diagnosis) and went through so many emotions just like y’all! I kept saying “Yes” every time y’all talked about what you were going through. So glad you are surrounded in prayer and with God ALL things are possible!

All the best to you and your future babies.

❤❤God is good All the time. Goodluck

Believe it
Then you shall
Receive it
Expect Miracles
Nothing is impossible
Trust and Believe ❤️ 🙏

Praying for you guys. I truly believe that sooner or later, you will hold your baby in your arms ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just stumbled upon this video and I feel that God led me to your video. My husband and I are going through a similar situation. WE have been trying for almost two years, unable to conceive and I have been asking myself similar questions. What struck me the most, was you knew in your deepest being, that infertility was part of Gods story for you. I have never heard anyone say this in other infertility journeys I've heard but I too, have felt since I was probably a teen that I would somehow struggle to conceive as well. I didn't want to believe it at the time, but years later when I got married and my husband and I started trying for a baby, I realized that in fact, that feeling had come to fruition in real time. I don't know WHY God chose to have this be apart of yours or my story, but the only thing I can conclude is that God chose us to go this struggle because 1) He deemed us strong enough to go through this battle. It is a very, very hard thing to go through infertility but God knew you had the strength to endure. and 2) He saw us fit to tell our story so that we can help or encourage other girls in the same boat. There IS hope. So that when God finally does bless you guys with a baby, you can turn around to that girl struggling, that with God it IS possible. ❤

Lots of love and prayers. It definitely takes a lot to share the raw but I do know our God is a faithful God. As I watched this, I prayed for you all and I know this is just the beginning and you all will have a wonderful testimony to share with your little one one day 🤍

Prayers are up for you guys ❤

Have been watching your channel on your goldendoodle breeding and saw the link for this channel. We have a medium size goldendoodle. Sorry, to hear that you both are struggling with infertility. My husband and I tried for four years to conceive. We ended up going to an infertility specialist and getting pregnant with quadruplets. Our quads are turning 19 this year. I felt the same way you did and was angry at God for a period of time, but God always knows best and will be by your side. Prayers to you both on your journey! 🙏 🐕

Lots of Love and prayers

look into the ICSI procedure. they take one sperm and inject it into the egg. so 12 healthy sperm seems like hope! I suffered from infertility, it took 4years and many mcs to get my first daughter. Now i have 3 beautiful daughters. Whatever the journey, God has a plan for how your family will come together. Sending prayers and fertile vibes.

Did you know some research is showing that Stevia is used as a form of birth control in some countries. Do you guys use that? Just a thought.❤️

A lot of couples have infertility problems and they have biological children and I have faith that y'all are going to have biological children to sending lots of prayers y'alls way ❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

What was the sperm test you did at home?

Excited to pray for you. You will be awesome parents! Prayers you will be Abundantly Blessed; in God's favor and will. ❤

I am not saying it ill not always be a struggle. Even cropping up in your mind unbidden. But there is a huge world and billions of different things that you could be doing WHILE STILL HAVING THE JOY OF RAISING CHILDREN! Praise God for the fertility you do have which I know you do but don't forget to live. Don't forget that is one aspect of life. I'm not saying give up, or don't try. But protect your mind and spirit. Don't let it destory you. Go see water flowing backwards, or the lava tubes in Hawaii, or maybe even these caves with their own ecosytems. Not trying to preach

Hey guys, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your transparency is honorable not only about the infertility but how you all felt spiritually. God is good and sometimes things don’t always go the way we would have planned it but you said “why me” and maybe because you guys are the perfect family to demonstrate what faith looks like. the perfect family for God to use and bless with a miracle. I stand in faith with you guys however the Lord blesses you to grow your family. 🙏🏽

Wishing you both all the best on your journey to one day have a family x🫶🏻x

Thanks for sharing your journey! It is really wonderful to hear Matt’s thoughts on the topic, he is a great role model to other men!

Its wonderful sharing your story. Do you think that in male factor infertility, you must get medical treatment or there's hope that it will just happen naturally ?😢

Absolutely Amen 🙏❤️🙌 You two will definitely be in my prayers!🙏

Oh wow, my husband and I are going through this. We still don't know what type it is but the heartbreak of the diagnosis is so real. Bailey, I totally know what you mean by the anger and feeling angry at the world. I am right there with you! It feels so unfair. Thank you for sharing your story!

Let me start by saying God bless you both. I’m 36 years old and I was diagnosed with Azoospermia at 30. My wife also has infertility issues. Let me tell you the truth of truths as a man it hurt more than ever for the doctor to tell me I had 0 sperm. I had a very similar start me and my wife waited about 2 years after marriage and noticed nothing happen, as our friends and family around our age were giving birth. I was highly pissed at God and asked why. ( I still counted my blessings) but it was very hard to deal with. After I took a at home test it came back inconclusive, a few months later I decided to go to the doctor and they also had me take 2 sperm analysis that came back as 0. The doctor who I originally had was very cold hearted and just told me I would have to use donor sperm, I don’t want to accept that so I asked for another doctor. They gave me new young fresh out of medical school urologist. He was very persist in finding out what was wrong with me and he told me found a Varicocele in my scrotum, he stated I could try having it Removed he also advise I take a medication called Clomid, however he said he wasn’t sure if either would actually work has typically Varicoeles do not stop sperm production. I was happy with his efforts, however I decided to look into different options I and found a world renowned doctor in Beverly Hills, it was $600 just for the consultation. That doctor was very confident and bit on the cocky side. He did a procedure on me called mapping ($12000) essentially mapping is a procedure to find where the most sperm would be in in my testicles. He also said that the second doctor I saw at my health provider was wrong and I had no Varicooeles in my scrotum. He said IVF will probably be the way we conceive after they retrieve my sperm. Weeks after the procedure I got a call from the “world renowned doctor” he advised me he was unable find any sperm anywhere, he stated we would have to do donor sperm, as I have nothing, he then said he didn’t want to give me false hope but I could try clomid (the same medication the second doctor told me take) and that I have the germ cells that can produce sperm they are just not producing anything. I am 6’2 230 pound ex athlete and consider myself a strong man. But I cried like baby for 2 days straight. We let time go by and we decided to go back to my previous health provider, the one who first suggested clomid and diagnosed me with the Varicooelse, he had me do a ultrasound on my testicles where he confirmed I had a pretty significant Varicooelse of my left side. This brought hope back and we decided to do the surgery. However at this point 3 years as went by and we been through so much we didn’t make it a huge priority in our lives, as we decided to travel the world and try to live stress free. I later did the surgery and the doctor advised it was successful and advised I should come back after 3 months to see if I am producing. I made a personal decision to not check and to just let time go by and see if we naturally can conceive ( I honestly didn’t want to hear bad news again). Another year went by and no pregnancy. However like I mentioned my wife had fertility issues herself, so I built up the confidence to just order another at home sperm test, it came back NORMAL! We jumped for joy screening running around the house. So from that point I took 3 more test to make sure and all came back normal. My wife is currently recovering from her fertility surgery and we will be moving forward with Intrauterine insemination (IUI). If that doesn’t work we will have to try IVF. I have so much more to say about this journey but I wanted to tell you guys and anyone else who sees this, never give up. Not all doctors know everything and stay prayed up! God bless

Going through the same almost 3 years! I first I thought it was just me because of my PCOS n it was actually my husband! He has azoospermia

Such a handsome young man; all those silly stereotypes in my head would make me think he’d never be infertile.
Wishing you both the very best. Life’s pretty unfair sometimes.

God bless you

My husband was also diagnosed with azoospermia by a fertility doctor over the phone… back in 2021… this doctor did not tell us anything past that. We were left brokenhearted…. A few weeks later we went to another doctor who told us it could be obstructive meaning the sperm was trapped just like with vasectomy… (we had no idea, we were clueless) & so we did a micro tesse & found out he had lots of good semen. We were so happy!
So we went ahead with ivf…
High hopes and all…
2 rounds and 4 transfers later we are still empty handed.
We have one more embryo which we will transfer next month…
we also just found out that my husbands insurance will cover 3 rounds for us if this last one doesn’t work… which gives us soo much more hope because it’s all so expensive!

Praying for all of us going through this.
Especially azoospermia! I beleive doctors need to learn how to deliver these news in a better way.

Azoospermia can be thought of as a vasectomy… no sperm doesn’t necessarily mean completely infertile they just have to aspirate it from the testicles… my question is why isn’t there a surgery or a stent to help us out yet. Hopefully that is an option in the future because I don’t wish this struggle on anyone.

I was looking for this kind of hope. 😢

My ex took steriods messed up his sperm count took a year to fix

There is nothing impossible for good !
I love your faith and persistence

I have been married for 12 yrs
Long story short
After our first 4 years
I had my miracle baby
Alll that time I thought I was the problem with fertility until my doctor suggested to have my husband check and found out he had a very low sperm ct
But God is good 😊
