very bad news for me
I got the worst news of my life today. I went to RE for CD3 bloodwork and u/s and possibly get clomid for PCOS. He told me my DH sperm analysis is very bad, that we have to do IVF and we have about 70% chance with IVF. I can not breathe, eat or drink. How is this possible? Tell me what below mean.
Count- 10 million
Motility - 19%
Morphology - 7%
Please tell me how bad 19% is. I do not think I want to live anymore

Re: very bad news for me
Oh sweetie  dont be so upset! Your RE sounds like a real a$$ for not giving you all the information - sorry but i have a bias against RE's since they seem to push IVF as the only answer when there are many other options (but ones that dont put $$ in their pocket)
What you need to do is get your DH to a urologist to get checked out. There most likely is an explanation for his count and most likely a treatment that can put him in normal ranges.
My DH has ZERO sperm and after only 3 months had normal counts!
I also had my DH on a supplement concoction that copies the ingredents of ProXeed (recommended by top urologists)
Mens Rainbow Lite Multi Vit
CoQ10 3omg
L-carnetine 1000mg
Acetyl-l-carnetine 500mg
Good luck

Re: very bad news for me
First
It's not the end of the world for sure. There are things to help motility. Also even if you have to do IVF, 70% is unbelievable odds.
My DH has great counts and because of my age our chances are in the single digits.
I think you may want to sit down with the RE and discuss all options.
Good luck.

Re: very bad news for me
I sent you an FM.
I would ask the urologist for things he can do to help. Then redo the analysis in a month or two.
70% @ IVF is really good statistics.

Dr. T is my Dr. too...but let me tell you..I think SIRM PUSHES IVF!!! I know another lady on another board who went to see him three weeks ago for a mere consultation and now she is signed up for the October cycle!! No reason for this...she has PCOS but just had a chemical a few months back and is in her 30's. All else is well, Do NOT rush into this...explore your options.
One such option that I have heard of and that I have my hubby on is Fertilaid...many say that it has increased their motility and counts.

Re: very bad news for me
another issue that I do not O on my own, probably have PCOS. But he did CD3 u/s today and he saw " a lot of eggs floating around".
No, DH did not see urologist yet, i only got the results today, i was in tears and in shock, so i signed myself up for Oct cycle. Now, I am thinking of backing off. he said only 10% with IUI for us

Re: very bad news for me
I would see the urologist and maybe wait a cycle. If you still decide to do IVF, you've only pushed it off one month. MY DH just had a zero sperm count. It's a horrible feeling. I have PCOS too. We found out that my DH doesn't have vas deferens, so we have to do IVF but I think there are a few things you can try to improve the count.
Good Luck! I feel like our urologist is pretty well informed. If you want his information, FM me. Another poster recommended him as did my RE.

Re: very bad news for me
BTW-male issues are some of the easiest to fix.
Even if you have to do IVF it will be fine. The end result will be a DC!

I saw Dr. T when he was at Columbia. He told me the same exact thing...we knew we had MF though. I've never cried so hard because I was so devastated. I was so against IVF and just honestly didn't want to have to go that route. We did end up doing IVF/ICSI and got pregnant on our first cycle with DD and it wasn't as bad as I thought at all.
DHs first SA only had 1.4 million sperm so it was much worse than your DH's. He started a regimen of vitamins and by the time we started IVF/ICSI the count was up to 8 million. I would definitely have your DH see a urologist and get another SA since they tend to fluctuate alot. Antibiotics, smoking, drinking, tighty whities all effect sperm count. I can FM you a list of vitamins if you would like. Good Luck!

Re: very bad news for me
I wanted to say thank you to all who responded and sent me FMs. Today is another day, I was hoping to wake up from yesterday's nightmare, but I did not. With help and advice of a few very special people, I decided to back out of Oct IVF cycle. DH is seeing urologist at NYU this Friday, and will be loading up on vitamins. In the meantime, I will be on clomid/metformin and timed bd. I know that I might end up with IVF anyway, but I have to give it a chance before I jump that IVF wagon. Again, thanks to all
