Feeling defeated

@Charley thank you for that insight!! I always avoid going to the doctors for anything because they blame everything on my weight, I'm a solid 250 and most of it is boobs, thighs and butt. And I've had it in my mind that the doctors fucked up my surgery when they removed a cyst from my ovary and I'm scared that it's actually true
@Samantha I was 225 when we went for fertility treatment. I had to have a BMI under 35 to qualify so lost a little bit. My husband has terrible sperm quality but all my tests were normal. We had IVF with ICSI and now I'm 24 weeks pregnant with our first embryo transfer, so our lack of getting pregnant was never down to my side of things.
I second the fertility testing for both you and your husband at a fertility clinic. I do believe you could actually get both done at your OBGYN but it depends on the doctor. Unfortunately a lot of doctors still use BMI for a lot of factors and it’s frustrating but sometimes you will find a doc who thinks it’s outdated and dumb (like mine did).
Both you all drink red raspberry tea daily, brew loose leaf not the pre-packed tea bags. You take Chaste Tree supplements daily. Less stress and control, happy moments increased on purpose. Fast from Alcohol, eat well but don’t be too restrictive, remember less stress.
Those are home sperm tests are not accurate. I would contact a fertility clinic and pay for a check where you get 2 semen analyses a month or so apart. Also hormone testing and a scan for you
