Antibodies in the sperm. Anybody??

Yup, my DH had the same issue after a vas reversal. We did IVF with ICSI in 2006 and now have a beautiful 17 month old Daughter. With the antibodies we were told we had less than 1% chance of conceiving naturally so ICSI (where they take indvididual sperm and inject directly into the egg) was our best chance. The success rates for this treatment are high, we conceived on the first cycle. I know it can be a shock to find out that there is something specifically wrong that prevents you from falling pregnant, but on the positive side, at least you know and can take the appropriate action. My cycle was pretty straight forward, the injections were not bad and the side effects were minimal - although this can be different for every person. Hot flushes were about the worst thing that I suffered from. Keep busy during your cycle and have some nice events planned to take your mind off things. Good luck sugarbaby I am sure you will be successful with your IVF cycle.

Hi Sugar baby, my hubby too has antibodies after a vas reversal. We found on the 21 Jan 09. He has 100% antibodies and our only hope of conceiving is through ICIS. I have just started the pill and injections likely to start in 3 weeks. Great to hear success stories like lulu, thanks much appreciated!
