Male factor infertility
Hello, we are TTC for a year now. I know that this is not a very long time, but in November last year we were diagnosed with MFI, so it may take a while longer (hopefuly not that long). I was wandering if anyone who is "in the same boat" have any suggestions. I will be glad if I can hear some success stories too. We did our first IUI a day ago, so I am hoping for a BFP, even though I know that the chance of conceiving is very low. Well, I guess you never know, we need only one sperm after all.
A lot of baby dust to all of you!

Thanks Grasshopper,
We're done what I think will be our last IUI. My DH had 92.9 million total count with 9 million post wash. The motility was 59% post wash, but unfortunately the morphology was at 0% this time. We've never had zero normal before. I'm feeling ambivalent with this round. Last time was text book good but it still failed. This one has had timing issues all the way through, and now 0% normal. If it works I will be completely shocked.

I have been ttc for 18 cycles now. The last 3 cycles have been iui's. All have been unsuccessful cycles. Re referred dh to urologist because his sperm has been dropping since april. So friday he has to get an ultrasound of his testecles then hopefully they will know why his sperm motility and morph. Has been dropping and why its taking so long to conceive... im preparing myself for the worse. I really am down and depressed with this entire journey and i had nowhere to turn...

Hello Ladies, So my husband and I have been TTC for 4-5 months and I know thats not a long time at all but we were NTNP for over two years before that and nothing. My cycles are fairly regular so I started to look into possible hubby issues. He being a past steriod user also made me more concerned of his vitality. So started off with doing a home SA, I breed and raise horses so I had a brightfield microscope (a cheap one mind you) for biology purposes. The first analysis was devastating, I looked through every drop of the sample and there was zero movement anywhere! So i started him and I on the vitamins and herbs. I have him taking Zinc, Selenium, CoQ10, Omega 3's, folic acid, Vitamin E (tocepherol not tocepheryl), vitamin C, Vitamin B 12 and the B complex, L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, Maca root capsules as well as Black Maca powder (in a shot glass mixed with hot chocolate mix, yuck terrible stuff). Anyway herbs and vitamins usually take a while to kick in, plus it takes about 100 days for sperm creation from start to finish, so the first few months there was no change in the home SA. Now coming on five months after starting his pill regime (first month with Maca) I was shocked to see what an improvement in his count, motility and morphology! like 400% better! So as of right now I feel hopeful for us! and I really am believing in the herbs. I have not yet had a BFP but I just wanted to share about the amazing difference these natural inexpensive supplements have made.
