Infertitly due to male factor

Ladies, is there anyone out there TTC and have not been able to due to your DH.  My DH and I have been TTC for 7 yrs now I am 33 yrs and he is 30 yrs old.  Some yrs ago we found that DH had low sperm count.  We recently had IVF done in Mexico and I wanted to see if there was anyone out there in our situation?

Yes.  DH and tried for 8 months with no results then he had a sperm anaysis done and we found he had no sperm count.  We had to do a surgical procedure to remove it and then freeze it.  We have done IVF with ICSI once back in April/May and it failed.  We are starting our second cycle right now.

What is ICSI?

Intercytoplasmic sperm injection.  It is where they hand fertilize the eggs with a needle.  It requires one sperm per egg.

vascectomy reversal, three years and finally it worked. We were really close to doing IVF and Dr found a high white blood cell count in his semen analysis so he put DH on antibiotics and the next cycle I was pregnant, he also had a very low sperm count on the cycle I got pregnant. Dont give up!

What's the name of the antibiotics?  DH has tried it all and nothing has been able to help him with his sperm count!  One RE even gave him progesterone and that did not help him at all.  They all tell us that there is nothing that can be done to help in his VERY low sperm count!

I think it was a basic one that is used to treat general infections. Ask your RE about it. If your Dr is telling you that, I would find another dr, the last thing you need is negativity and a "no hope" attitude from someone that is supposed to help you become pregnant. ICSI has worked wonders for men who have a low sperm count, remember, it only takes one......

Thanks for your response!  That's what we keep telling each other it ONLY takes one.  We have done IVF in Mexico and I am going to do my beta test on 8/20.
