Re: Any real life experiences with retrograde ejaculation?
I think retrograde ejaculation means that the ejaculate is going in the wrong direction. There is probably a treatment for this on your DH's end. I think there are medication treatments and IUI options. Please don't throw in the towel.

Re: Any real life experiences with retrograde ejaculation?
i just did a google search - it seems there may be some treatments that don't involve IVF.
"Around 40% of sufferers from retrograde ejaculation have found that use of pseudoephedrine (brands names include Sudafed) noticeably improves the quantity of ejaculate.[citation needed] The tricyclic antidepressant imipramine has also been used as an effective treatment for retrograde ejaculation. It must be noted that both medications have links to erectile dysfunction, pseudoephedrine being the frontline treatment for priapism. People with erectile dysfunction and retrograde ejaculation (not uncommon in those with diabetes) are strongly advised to seek medical advice about the best 'dual' treatment methods available to them, i.e. combining pseudoephedrine or an alternative with an erectile dysfunction treatments such as sildenafil."

"Retrograde ejaculation can sometimes be reversed with medications that are primarily used to treat other conditions, including:
Imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant
Chlorpheniramine and brompheniramine, antihistamines sometimes used treat cold symptoms
Ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine, used in some decongestant medications
These medications help keep the bladder neck muscle closed during ejaculation. While they're often effective treatment for retrograde ejaculation, all of these medications can also cause numerous side effects. Some of the side effects are minor, but others can be more serious."

please don't give up hope!!!
