DH's Counts - Advice/Guidance

[Arlotheslug]

So, I have finally started to O (clomid).  We just got back from an appt with DH's Dr.  He has motility and count issues.  His count had being going up significantly - so much so, we went from the IVF as the only option box to the IUI possibility.   Well, his last test had a significantly lower count.  He is on arimidex (sp?), lost significant weight (30+ lbs) with a low fat diet, and doing acupuncture.  I really think it may have been the stress of the day and a bad lab.  

Anyone have similar stories that ended well?  Or any guidance on what else we can do.  Diet? Meditation?  We have never talked Clomid b/c he had been responding so well up until now.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much.  That is really what I needed to hear!  I would definitely prefer an IUI . . . Thanks again.  

Ps - Congratulations.

hello, sorry to hear that yall are going through this!    my dh had a good count, but he had low morph (2%) and low motility.. we didn' t even qualify for IUI (you have to have 5% morph i believe) and i have lots of issues as well. however we did three IUIs and then had all the paperwork filed for IVF and we just got our suprise BFP a couple of weeks ago!   so it can happen, So becuase of our experience i'm a believer in IUI its so much cheaper and not as harsh on your body as IVF and i'm sure a little less emotionally challening!   what was your dh's count?? GOOD LUCK! : )
