So this is my 3rd ivf. First one was in Feb, second one in June and Third start this month.
I hope this one works....but has it taken anyone this long to get pregnant with DH having a low sperm count?
It's so frustrating, tiring, mentally and physically draining..
Re: IVF 3
Good luck!! I'm sorry you're facing #3 but I hope the third time is IT for you.
And, yes, our main diagnosis is MFI and it has taken us multiple attempts. But we are also limiting fertilization to only a few eggs for religious reasons, so that is probably a factor too....

I hope the 3rd time is your last time doing IVF!
We also have MFI and plan to start our 2nd full IVF cycle in the next few months.
We're currently doing genetic and coag testing first (and saving money)!
