Jamato - I'm holding onto your words and trying on a new game face for my cycle :D I have to believe in my heart that it'll work one day.

I was overstimulated on both my cycles so they think that also led to the poor embie quality - i've only got 1 ovary and first cycle I produced 37 follies (they ...

Justine, Jamato - thank you both for responding and telling me your success stories!! I know it can happen

best of luck to you both!!

Just wanted to know if there was anyone out there that had a successful pregnancy by doing ICSI for severe MF issues.

DH's mophology is 3% and his motility is practically 0 but his counts range between 7mil to 25mil.

I've had 2 failed ICSI cycles and going for attempt #3 in Jan

Just wanted to ...

Vita - did you ever try metaformin? I have a mild case of PCOS and my clinic is going to add metaformin to my next cycle - also did they say they could drop your dose of meds to produce less follies? That's what my clinic is doing for me since I produce too many eggs and just like you they grow slow ...

Sam I just wanted to send this to you - it might help you out a bit - my dH is on all of these - we did not go with any specific brand:-
Supplements

The following supplements may increase sperm count and/or motility. Allow 3-4 months for the supplements to work.

• Arginine - Take 4 gr daily ...

Vita - I've had 2 failed IVF cycles so far and I think it was because I was overstimulated and that made my egg quality poor - first of all I only have one ovary and I know from reading and from my RE that the ideal # of follies to have is between 10-15 (this maximizes egg quality) - because of my ...

Luvbabbies you made me laugh when you talked about your curly hair! I've got curly hair as well and there's only 1 girl that can get is straight and look good! I'm in the office and everyone's going 'wow you look different' normally I wash it out before work on Monday but I was running late today so ...

Hi Cheeky Monkey - DH did do a seman analysis and that's how come we know his motility is so low but the thing is with a SA they only know counts and not genetic defects - you have to do DNA testing for that - which he does not want to do - so we're just gonna put him on some meds and vitamins and ...

Luvbabbies - thanks so much for the support! I know DH will come around eventually - I just need to kick him in the butt and send him in the right direction!

I heard a really great story today about a couple who was TTC for 10 years with unexplained infertility and did IVF numerous times and on her ...

Thanks for the info Ghost - I checked out the websites and I guess I feel a lot better becasue the success rate seems to be the best with motile sperm found in an ejaculated sample which is what we are dealing with. just that there's only a few to choose from but at least there's some to choose from ...

JES24 - thanks for the info! you made me feel a lot better to know that there is hope for us.

Hi Ghost - you were so helpful before I thought I'd try my luck and see what you thought about this.

Had my follow up with my RE today and they told me that they think we're looking at a sperm issue with why my last 2 IVF cycles failed and not egg quality like they originally thought.

little ...

Hi Cheeky Monkey and Meiji - had my follow up call with RE this morning and now I'm even more depressed.

she thinks our last 2 cycles failed because of sperm issues and not egg quality like we originally thought. She said based on the ratio of the mature eggs to total follies it just shows that ...

Luvbabies - I'm feeling really depressed today. Spoke to my RE this morning and she said that they think our 2 cycles failed because of sperm issues. She said even though I'm producing a lot of follies the ratio of mature eggs to follies is amazing so she does not think it's an egg quality issue ...

luvbabbies - you are so right!! I'm laughing at how you said the roller coaster is just slowing down for another ride :lol: that's so exactly how I'm feeling!!

Your situation is similar to mine - I got 27 follies when they only wanted 10-15 (i've only got 1 ovary and it's super producing one) I ...
