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!

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!

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

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!
