Bad news

Five minutes later Sarah walks in sitting at her desk across from both of them. “I have good news and I have bad news which would you like first?” “Good news” Richard says both of them looking at her. “ OK good news is Richard your sperm count is amazing. All of your sperm are alive and extremely healthy. Now for the bad news unfortunately Katie due to the shape of your uterus The sperm would have a very difficult time fertilizing an egg. we see this sometimes in more petite women.” The doctor goes on to explain the reasons but Katie can’t hear anything her ears just ring.

Her eyes begin to well up with tears Richard holds her hand lovingly. Her entire life she’s wanted Nothing More to have a loving husband and a family of her own. When she can finally hear again she hears not all hope is lost. “ now Katie not all hope is lost there still is a chance you could conceive a child naturally although the odds are below 2%. We do have great options besides that. We have a wonderful in vitro fertilization clinic here unfortunately that’s a bit expensive and generally cost around $20,000.

Now you could always adopt but then you don’t really get to experience the pregnancy and that usually cost about $10,000. And we do have a great website full of women willing to be surrogates for couples who can’t conceive. Here are some brochures on everything we just talked about give it a look and see what you guys think again I’m very sorry” she says before standing and walking out the door.
