affects of FSH on robertsonian translocation carriers

I have a Robertsonian Translocation and after 2 years of unsuccessful IVF PGD  I began to research why it wasnt working. My research showed that for some inexplicable reason RT carriers do not respond well to HCG used as part of IVF and I was told to try naturally which we did and finally we have a healthy daughter. I am now 39 and want another child only now my husbands sperm has been tested and is pretty useless on all fronts. Low sperm cound, low motility and abnormal in shape. After a year of trying naturally I dont think his sperm is capable of much. So I figured IUI was as close as we could get to trying naturally. I am tempted to do a stimulated IUI so I have more eggsin the mix but am concerned that the HCG I would take will affect the quality of my eggs. Can HCG affect egg quality? Should I just be naturally ovulating, producing 1 egg and doing IUI instead of stimulating?

Hello,
I am sorry to respond so late to your question.  I had several rounds of hCG shots during the months I was trying to conceive without additional IUI or IVF.  As far as I am aware, hCG doesn't do anything to your eggs, as this is a natural hormone found in pregnancy.  The concern I would have is have you been tested for tubal blockages?  This can happen even if you have already conceived.  That test is called a HSG test, and they use a dye to check if your fallopian tubes or ovaries have any blockages.  Also note that you are more fertile after this procedure for a few months.  I had conceived immediately that month that I had my 2nd HSG test after 4 months of trying unsuccessfully with Clomid and hCG shots.  
There also may be other reasons (not just your hubby's sperm) that could be a factor.  I am not sure if you have any other health issues but hormones play such a critical role, so it may also be in your best interest to check out those things as well.  I learned after many years that I had a pituitary tumour and it was causing me not to ovulate.  I had no idea that this was even possible before this, and all it took was taking a medication once a week to resolve that problem.  Thyroid can also affect fertility.  I imagine that if you are doing hCG and you know about your husbands sperm quality that you are seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist or a Fertility doctor.
In addition to anything I have mentioned, please keep in mind, that while I or others may have extensive knowledge in many areas, you should always seek professional medical advice from your own physician, as it pertains to medical conditions or concerns.
Good luck, and if you have any other questions that I can help you with, please feel free to message me directly.
