GHOST? - Clomid for MEN...LOW SPERM COUNT...

[Acapulco]

Hello Ghost & my fellow IVFer's out there...

My DH has had a vasectomy reversal and as a result has been diagnosed with oligospermia (low sperm counts). We have done 2 fresh IVF w/ICSI cycles (the 1st was a BFN and the 2nd was a BFP but ended in M/C at 11 weeks. When I went in for my 6 week U/S, there wasn't a heartbeat, measured 2 weeks small and appeared abnormal. An U/S was performed again at 8 weeks and nothing changed. I went through a natural M/C by going off prenatal vitamin and progesterone at 11 weeks (miserable and PAINFUL experience).

Has any of your DH's used Clomid for low sperm counts and had any benefits? He's on 50mg every other day. Along with natural vitamins (NOT HERBS) to promote the maturation of healthy sperm:

Multivitamin with minerals
Selenium - 200 mcg.
Vitamin B Complex
CoQ10 - 60 mg.
Vitamin E - d-alpha (natural) - 400 I.U. - TWICE DAILY (800 I.U. total)
Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL - 1000 mg.
Vitamin C - 500 mg. - TWICE DAILY (1000 mg. total)
Lycopene - 15 mg.
Zinc - 50 mg.
Omega-3 Natural Fish Body Oils

I just wanted to know if Ghost or any other IVF-er's DH has found success with CLOMID especially.

BABY DUST TO ALL!

Hi Acapulco!

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck, and know that your oct gals are thinking of you and hoping for a BFP for you - when are you starting?

I also am interested in hearing about the male clomid thing - this sounds very interesting.

on a similar note...a friend of mine has been prescribed vaginal VIAGRA suppositories to aid in bloodflow to the area for her IVF

take care

Hello,
My DH took Clomid for 9 months before his TESE surgery. He has a blocked Vas Deferens and needed TESE surgery to extract sperm. The clomid increased his testosterone level and made better quality sperm.
Good Luck!!!
