  I hope its ok to post. My IF buddy, NMscubaGirl's DH had this. They actually minitored at home and it was like every 60 days he'd have sperm for a few days. So he would go in every 48hours when they found sperm at home.

  My DH hasn't done the up and down thing, but his tests always have freeze orders on them so if there are viable swimmers in there, they are preserved.
  
  Unfortunately, they don't thaw well.
  
  Fortunately, for our last IVF there were enough fresh that no frozen were needed.
  
  Hope that you can find answers!

  I really don't know but I was going to ask what the pp said - can't they freeze everything they find when they test?  It must be so frustrating.  I am so sorry for you both.

  We are in a similar boat to firesiren as you can see in my siggy, unless you are on the stupid mobile bump. I also HATE MFI. So sorry you are dealing with this.

  TTC since June 2011
  DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
  Me (32): all clear
  Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
  Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test
  Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
  2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
  Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
  ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
  TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found
  froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.
  8/3/12: 2nd opinion from MFI uro on biopsy slides. Suspects "partial late maturation arrest."
  Plan: more SAs, third biopsy/TESE with frozen back-up either from DH or DS.
  SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
  SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
  9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!
  All 3 survived the thaw on 11/15/12!
