I recently had a LEEP but was told we could start TTC again just a month later. Our fertility specialist recommended we go straight to IVF with ICSI due to my husbands low motility (~15%). He also has slightly low sperm count and morphology. All of my tests have been fine.... although my DHEA was slightly above the normal range resulting in irregular periods. Anyone with similar info try IVF? I suppose I'm not going to find many success stories on this board, but any info would be appreciated. I'm unsure what will happen next. We are going in to discuss with the fertility specialist today!
Our story:
Married 7/2013 - been TTC ever since
