Infertility

Low sperm count

Hey Ladies. I don't post often, but lurk a whole lot. I have been waiting for answers on MFI. We finally got out SA done and the results were better then previous. Before MH had 0 sperm count. It has now gone up to 800,000( which I know isn't a ton, but is better then it has been) My questions is anyone have that very low count and been sucessful to make it to ivf-icsi? I have an appointment next week with my RE to discuss our final options and what not, but just wondering. Thanks ladies!

Re: Low sperm count

  • With 800k, you would have a great count for IVF w ICSI.  We had 50k in our last IVF cycle, i did get pregnant but had a miscarriage.

    Good luck moving forward!

  • My husband has low sperm count.  He was up to like 2.5 million the last SA.  We JUST completed IVF #1 w/ ICSI and am hoping at least one of my embryos is making themself at home :)

    I was really worried about the fertilizing, even though we were using ICSI, but half of the eggs did fertilize.

     Good luck!

    TTC Since 10/2007 with no luck and a 'go with the flow' attitude
    1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI
    7/2010 - DH starts Clomid to increase testosterone and hopefully sperm count
    10/2010 - Still low (but improved) sperm count.
    11/30/10 - IUI #1 and only = BFN
    February 2011 - IVF #1 w/ ICSI =
    Chemical PG (Beta 1: 10, Beta 2: 19, Beta 3: 17) :-(
    April 2011 - IVF #2 w/ ICSI = BFN :-(
    September 2011 - IVF #3 w/ ICSI = BFFN
    November 2011 - AMH level tested - .83 (normal for age range)
    February 2012 - IVF #4 w/ ICSI = (best response ever yet still) BFFN
    April 2012 - DNA testing - NORMAL, RE suggests cycling again with own eggs or using DE
    On Break indefinitely...not sure we can afford the emotional and financial roller coaster anymore.
