Anyone else with MFI?

Had such a discouraging day yesterday. Went to the RE to have my pregnancy test done, also got my DH's SA results back. Found out we weren't pregnant and the SA result were not good. DH has only 2% morph, 11ML count and good motility. RE actually said that he is surprised that we were able to get pregnant naturally with our DS. Then to top off the day, I came home and started my period! Oh the joys of FI! 

Anyone else going to through the same issues? DH and I are having a hard time with this because we want a sibling for our DS so bad. We both have siblings and are very close with them, we feel like we are letting him down.

This is our last month with our RE because we are moving to another state next month, so we are contemplating IUI because we don't have the means for a IVF right now. RE said IVF is our best option and didn't seem very hopefully when I suggested IUI. But I'm just not ready to give up! I'm so torn because part of me just wants to think positively and know this will happen (especially since it has happened before), but the other side of me just wants to give up and stop feeling so depressed! I start to feel okay and then I start my period and all the emotions come back up! 

Anyway, thanks for listening and if you have any words of advice, encouragement or have been in the same boat... i would love to hear them! Hope today is a better day!

I have no advice or great story for you but I wanted to wish you the best... we don't have male factor issues that we know of, but I do understand about you wanting a sibling for your child. Best of luck to you!

We have severe MFI...(0 on his SA.) I think IUI is worth a try. We have to use donor, and the IUI samples are usually 10-18 mil each. I would for sure give IUI's a try. Good luck!

My SO has motility issues and I have endometriosis, PCOS, irregular periods, short LPs and ovarian dysfunction. I got pregnant with my DD on Clomid but my EX-H didn't have IF issues. I am not being treated just monitored because of SO's motility issues. He is taking supplements to help improve that. We are on cycle # 7and at cycle # 10, we will do another SA and go from there with treatment. My RE doesn't see a reason to treat me at this point unless SO's motility can improve. If the supplements don't work, we will move to a urologist for his treatment! If they can help, we will move forward with my treatment. It is so long and drawn out and it sucks but we started TTCing earlier then we originally planned because we had a feeling we would have to go through this process. SO has no children of his own even though he is like a father to my DD. I would love for us to have a child together though!

We don't have an official diagnosis, but I suspect MFI since we have results from the SA.

I can relate toe verythign you wrote.  I'm so sorry.  Later this month, we'll finish our testing, get answers, and get options.  I'm so scared that IVF will be the only option.  I've got a lot of issues with IVF that I need to work through, so that answer would be numbing.

Thank you ladies for the feedback! MFI is so difficult! We of course keep thinking, well it happened once, it could happen again! So that is why we are not even considering IVF right now. We hate to go in debt before we add to our family! So we will keep trying! we have decided that we are going to give IUI a shot this month too!   Baby dust to all!
