So DH and I have been going round in circles for the last year. 2 semen analyses came back with the result of 'borderline' normal - counts of 14million/ml with low motility. All the vitamins taken and the first month of IUI this month - sperm count was just 4million/ml pre wash and 3 million afterwards although motility had improved. We can't understand why there would be a drop when he's been working so hard to improve it. But I guess my real question is, what should we do next? There has been no mention of any referral to see if we can get to the bottom of it, we've just been told to keep going with IUI. Everything I read online suggests that IUI needs at least 15 million to be successful with greatest success over 20 million. I just don't want to keep wasting all this time. We already have a 4 year old DS and I feel like all this stress is bound to be impacting on him. I just want this resolved one way or another now!
Has anyone conceived either naturally or with IUI with these kind of counts?!
Thanks in advance and sorry for the waffle. Feel like my head is permanently scrambled!
