“You Simply Have Bad Eggs…”
“You simply have bad eggs! We know it’s not your husband, he’s a good man. Don’t you have any sisters that can donate an egg or two to you?” -Reproductive Endocrinologist to mother during consultation when all tests showed both mother and father had no identifiable problems that might be causing their infertility.
This is blatant sexism.

If there’s no identifiable problem, it’s the mother’s? Which part of no identifiable problem did he not get??
I think there are herbal and vitamin routes to take to strengthen both of their reproductive systems, if the couple hasn’t tried them already.

Are you kidding me!?!? We went through 3 fertility specialists, who all said that although my hubby had low sperm count & high morphology that they could get us PG. The 4th finally looked at the sperm under the same microscope that they use for actual ICSI transfer, and discovered that the sperm heads were too big for the pipette. Doctors don’t know everything…

My jaw just dropped. “He’s a good man”??? As opposed to you, who are…what exactly??? As someone who knows all too well the pain of infertility I can’t believe an actual RE would be so insensitive! Why even go into that field if s/he’s not going to be compassionate? To the original poster, I am SO sorry anyone said such an awful thing to you – even more since it was someone who should know better.
