Question

Gutted, have been told to do IVF :(

Hi guys so went to docs after 15 months TTC and was told this, im heartbroken after wasting 15 months for nothing!

6.6 million sperm, 8% normal and 88% Sperm antibodies....This is bad right??

Why wasnt we told this 12 months ago?! All we was told was this was good enough for a pregnancy after his vasectomy reversal.

So the new doc said no way, definatly recommend IVF.

We have the money..........just. But googling im this ICSI is the way forward, do you agree??

Any advice would be great, thanks girls xx

If you've got the money, IVF is definitely the way to go! Although it's not the ideal way to get pregnant, it has a very high success rate and with ICSI, you're nearly certain to have fertilization despite the less then stellar sperm analysis.

I've read lately that after vasectomy reversal, it's very common for them to develop sperm antibodies. Here's a post about it on another forum I came across: http://forums.fertilitycommunity.com/1108487657-post6.html

Good luck!

Thankyou Essemkay, interesting article! I had heard about the antibodies but thought we was all clear with that, how wrong was i!? Two of my sisters had IVF and one had ICSI aswell and both worked first time, im keeping my fingers crossed the same will happen to us!!
