MFI

Hello,

I have a question for those dealing with MFI. For the past 3+ years we have been told that my husband has severe MFI. His counts have always been below 2.5 million and recently they've been below 1 million. Our son was conceived on our 4th Clomid/IUI cycle. We've always been told that our best option would be IVF with ICSI. We recently changed RE and are on our third IUI cycle before moving onto IVF for baby #2. We are banking sperm so that we have the best possible sample on IUI day (something previous RE never even offered). Yesterday my husband gave the first sample - after wash his count was 16 million! I couldn't believe it. Has anyone else experienced such a difference for any reason? Our dr. is the only change we've made. He had varicocele surgery in '09, but there was never an improvement after that. He has not been on any meds. Thanks in advance!

    My H's sample varied significantly. We were originally dx as MFI with counts under 10 mil, several under 5 mil. Things were decent for our IUIs - between 20-50 million. Changed clinics and our testing sample and IVF sample were both well over 100 million.

    My husband has ranged, but never had great numbers in all 3 parameters.  We have no idea why sometimes it can be high and other times it is low.  GL with your IUI cycle!

    Thank you for the responses! Sarah- would you mind sharing what herbs/supplements your husband took? I would love to give them a try!
