Hello Ladies!!!! I decided to open this discussion because although I've read some personal stories about the struggle with MFI, I feel like it hasn't really been discussed that much on here. My husband and I have been struggling with this issue for 3 years. We've had two failed IUI and just don't know what to do anymore. A lot of people have advised us to go the IVF route but righ now that just isn't an option for us. What has been your experience? What treatments have u decided on? Supplements? Accupuncture? Amount of abstinence days to improve count and motility? Timing on fertility drugs, trigger shots, procedures? Any success? Please share ur experiences. I know it would be easier to read them on one post instead of searching through them all.
Me: 35 DH: 33

Currently Self Benched to figure out what our next step will be
Re: Male Infertility Issues...
this is my first time posting on this board. We have been ttc for a year, I was diagnosed with pcos in February and have had no ovulation in the past year.
i was concerned about the quality of my OHs sperm because he was a very heavy smoker for 15 years and drinks probably 3-4 drinks a night. He quit smoking and I put him on a butt load of supplements including maca, 1000mg of vitamin c, zinc, folic acid, vitamin e, multi vitamin, evening primrose, coq10. I bought him a pill sorter from the dollar tree and I sort out his pills every Sunday. I also asked that he cut his drinks down to two a night. He has been on the vitamin cocktail for about 5 months. He just had his SA done two days ago and it came out great. I'm not sure if he had a problem to begin with but I do think the supplements help and he feels great!
he did make a huge deal after he got it done like it was the most important thing that has happened since we started ttc. I made a snarky comment about the endless blood work I've had, doctors appointments, ordering and organizing supplements, temping, charting, peeing daily in a cup for opks, spitting on the saliva microscope, acupuncture and chiropractor appointments, plus having my vagina poked around inside!
Third cycle Clomid 6/29/16 O'd CD 16 BFP @11dpo!
