Male Fertility Issues....

FLY106

Hello Ladies!!!!

   I decided to open this discussion because although I've read some personal stories about the struggle with MFI, I feel like it hasn't really been discussed that much on here. My husband and I have been struggling with this issue for 3 years. We've had two failed IUI and just don't know what to do anymore. A lot of people have advised us to go the IVF route but righ now that just isn't an option for us. What has been your experience? What treatments have u decided on? Supplements? Accupuncture?  Amount of abstinence days to improve count and motility? Timing on fertility drugs, trigger shots, procedures? Any success? Please share ur experiences. I know it would be easier to read them on one post instead of searching through them all.

Great topic! I feel like an expert now. We tried for 3 years before seeking specialists and had all kinds of tests done. Has your husband been tested? Turned out my DH had low count and motility. His fertility dr suggested eating steak, black berries, exercise and he started taking a bunch of supplements including Naturally Smart for men ($70!) and CoQ plus more (I'll try to find the paper tomorrow with the list). I went on the Paleo diet at about the same time at the advise of a hormone specialist (sugar, bread and dairy is estrogen causing. My flow was irregular so it was hard to time it right) after 6 months of all thi,s it finally worked! Plus we both lost weight and were looking good. (Whatever DH does takes 3 months to effect his sperm as opposed to us in 1 month.) My dr was encouraging though and said you only need one sperm to make a baby.
