Hubby has low motility - 19 months and still no BFP :(

Hi Guys, my Hubby and i have been trying for 19 months now and still no BFP! i have had blood tests and ultra sounds and all clear and about 10 months ago we tested his swimmers to find he has very low motility. i have him on vitamin c, a fertility blend from chemist (i dont recall the name and big brown tablet he takes before bed) and have had him try a few other things too like l-carnitine and zinc... i have been making him finish all his showers with really cold water on his testicals as iv read this helps... im dying to hear success stories of natural conceptions with low motility as we really dont want to go through ivf, he is embarresed enough as it is. please someone give me some hope, im losing hope as each month goes on... im 28 and hubby is 27.


TTC for 3 years. Me 29 Hubby 28 We were initially told Male fertility, low motility and now we have been told we have 'unexplained infertility' Failed iui #1 Sept 2013 Failed iui #2 Oct 2013 Failed IVF #1 - May 2014 - no eggs were fertilized. apparently my eggs rejected hubbys swimmers in IVF, im still not sure what this is called, but looks like our Fertility issue is that my antibodies may be rejecting hubby....

My husband also had very low motility. Test after test we were disappointed. Then the Doctor suggested that my husband try Fertilaid for men and Motilityboost, both by Fairhaven health. After taking them for 3 months his motility went for 7% to 50%. That was in November of last year. Since then he has continued to take both supplements and his numbers have stayed at around 50%. I found out this week that I am 4 weeks pregnant. Check out Fertilaid it really helped us and I think it could help you too. Good luck...Baby dust :) Oh I am 29 and my husband is 28

I can relate this is month 19 for my husband and myself as well. He to has what your husband has, so we decided to go on a different path, we had our first IUI on may 19 and now we are playing the waiting game... 8 more days of my 2ww. Have you considered an IUI?

Fingers crossed that ur IUI sticks!! we went to get a referral from the doc in Feb this year to go speak to fertility docs and take the next steps for IUI etc but she talked us out of it instead i had more blood tests, got put on Vit D and hubby started Menevit (which doesnt start to take effect for 3months from start date of taking it, which is about now'ish). she said because we are so young and the expense of fertility is so high she wanted us to try menevit for 6months and then come back. also before i can do iui or ivf i need to have my measle rubella which cuts out a further 3 months of being allowed to try. i think i will get the rebella in nov for over christmas and go see a specialist in feb next year. i just want it to happen naturally so bad, my hubby hates all the invasive stuff.... let me know how you go with your IUI!! baby dust!!

i ordered fertil aid and motility boost on friday, so fingers crossed this might work for us!!

Hubby started on Fertilaid for men and Motilityboost this week, fingers crossed this is just what those little swimmers needed...
