pcos and low sperm count

[Finaldeskination1]

Hi ladies,
I've had pcos for about ten years. With a previous partner I did not get pregnant and had resigned myself to not being able to.
I am with my new partner and after a year and a half together I found out I was pregnant! Amazing but I sadly miscarried at ten weeks.
We decided to wait two years before trying again.

I was referred to the sub fertility clinic in October (the month we started trying again) as my periods were irregular and I had strange cycles with lots of spotting etc.

They have just tested his sperm and it came back dp has 3-4 million sperm and 70% dead.

I am devastated. He has to go back for a retest but I still feel like it's the end of the world and that I should resign myself to not having my own baby.

I feel that my first pregnancy was a fluke.
Anyone else out there in a similar situation ?

We were in a similar situation. I have pcos and OH had a very low count.
Because of that we went straight to icsi and now have a 20m old.
You have already gotten pregnant once so that is positive
Wait until the retest before worrying the results could change and if not then you will need to be advised by drs about next steps

Thanks for replying. What is icsi and how long did it take you to concieve your little one. Congratulations btw !

Icsi is ivf with injection of the sperm into the egg.
But there are stages before that eg
Clomid to induce ovulation
putting the sperm in the uterus (iui)
Ivf
Icsi

So it would depend on what the drs suggest they may think you can get pg naturally or move straight into a medical intervention.
The hfea website has success rates for clinics for the treatments.
Some people taken vitamins to help
We take pregnacare (didnt make a difference to my OH but it probably depends what is wrong. )
Its worth reading up on causes of low counts
Eg
Smoking
Alcohol
(Diabetes)
Recreational drugs
Etc
To see if you can cut out / rule anything

It took us quite a while to do all investigations but we were being treated 9m after referral to the clinic. The delay was due to prolems freezing back up sperm and trying to increase count by taking vitamins etc.

Wow theres alot to read up on. Thank you for your very useful information.

Hi finaldestination I've just come across your post. I wondered if you have got any further as we are at initial stages too. I've got pcos and hub low count of 5mill. Seeing gp again on Friday
