Trying to conceive

[Monis85]

My husband and I found out about 6 months ago that hes got low sp ct low motility and we knew I have PCOS what are the chances of getting pregnant we are both 26 and I feel hopeless...

Thanks for your post.  Makes me feel alot better!!! We are trying IUI first and the next step is IVF, theres hope :) .  Did you get pregnant on the first try? Im so happy that it all worked out!! :)

We are just at our first step really with iui being the least agressive and I hope itll work out.  In regards to my weight, not to advertise I used weight watchers.com. I only counted points on their website.  Good luck with the IVF!!

Sounds a lot like our situation!  I have PCOS (and some other medical issues) and my husband has low count and motility.  We were finally able to get pregnant by doing IVF with ICSI (which I think is the most AMAZING thing!!) and are now 25 weeks along.  So don't loose hope!!

That sounds good. i didnt know that low sperm count is good with IUI. how about the sperm motility? if they can swim faster; i think IUI will be a great success. we are found with sperm issues too and on our way to ICSI IVF.

good luck to you. its amazing that you lost 35 LB. how did you achieve that?

We did see a specialist they recommend iui.  And weight loss does help, I lost 35 lbs and on metformin.  I'm just boomed with the whole iui process and success.

You should go see a fertility specialist. Clomid can help with your PCOS, and diet and exercise can help with your husbands sperm count.
