Hi

My dh COUNT WAS HIGHER THAN THAT BUT HAS LOW MOTILITY AND MORPHOLOGY AS WELL AS A BODERLINE LOW COUNT AND IVF WITH ICSI WORKED 1ST TIME FOR US WE DID NOT DO ANY INSEMINATIONS AS OUR RE FELT IT WOULD NOT BE AN OPTION FOR US DUE TO THE MOTILITY ISSUE. JUST SO YOU KNOW IN THE GENERAL FORUM THERE ARE ROOMS TARGETED FOR THOSE OF YOU WAITING TREATMENT OR JUST STARTING I WOULD GO INTO TO ONE OF THOSE ROOMS LOTS OF SUPPORT THERE... GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Yes, we had luck with IVF the first time. We had male factor issues [low count, low morphology, low motility etc]. However, that ended in a sad miscarriage at 4 months. We are going with IVF/ICSI for the first time now. In the process right now... retrieval is in 4-5 days. Really anxious & excited...

So it does work!! Good luck to you.

Is anyone on the same cycle as I am? I would really like to go through this with someone else. Comparing notes will be very helpful for both of us!! I am on birth control pills for 20 days and then the real meds start. I hope to be pregnant in a few weeks.

Hi,

I know it could get very expensive. One of things I was able to continue with IVF is ask the doctors if he has any donated medication. I also called different pharmacies to get different quote on the medication. I will include more explaination on my website. Also ask the doctor if he can give you any discount. It worked for me. Please visit my website to know more about the information.

Thanks,
kuny

Thanks Kunny but the problem is the ivf cost,not the meds since I got them covered by my insurance.

I tried asking for discount from my RE but all he did was 200 less!!

So still will cost me$ 4200.

Thanks and good luck to us,

Natasha.
