Need some success stories or words of encouragment...please :-/?
my husband's motility was less than 0% with 5 million sperm and showed no improvement over the next three months. we could not do iui because you need sperm to be at least at 8 or 8.5 million. we were given many vitamins and i researched and had him taking a small moutain of them morning and night. three ivf transfers and two miscarriages occurred. his numbers went up to eight million and we tried iui. (in retrospect when his numbers were up he was also doing acupuncture for male infertility and exercising and losing weight, i have no way of knowing but i think it was the weight loss that helped the most). 2 failed IUIs but by then the weight had returned. his number ended up dropping to 1.5 million and we continued with ivf. the infertility urologist diagnosed that the likely culprit for the miscarriages was the fragmentation and morphology of the sperm. he did a tese procedure on the next round of ivf and we have a little girl due in july. and none of it was easy. my first infertility doctor referred me to ivf after completing our diagnosis. i spent just shy of two years with my ivf doctor before i got pregnant (and did not lose) this baby. good luck. i say go for every test and push for more testing because you never know what information you might uncover that could help.
