My husband had antibodies in his sperm but normal sperm count. Because of the antibodies though we can't get pg naturally. Even normal IVF doesn't work so we skipped straight to IVF with ICSI. Have two gorgeous boys now. :-) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have MFI (male factor infertility). Very low sperm count for DH.
We went straight to IVF/ICSI - no chance of it happening any other way. Just went through a normal round of IVF - did nothing special. Fresh egg transfer didnt work but we got one frozen. I am now half way with that pregnancy. ------------- Due 14/10/11 http://lilypie.com">

| A fresh transfer is what you have during your first IVF cycle - "fresh" as in the embryo has just been fertilised and then gets put back in within a few days. Compared with a frozen transfer which is from a thawed embryo if you are lucky enough to have more than one embryo from your IVF cycle. |

We tried one round of IVF with ICSI with no luck. We then found a sperm donor and had DS who is nearly 2, We are currently doing DI (donor Insemination) in the hope of having a second. good luck with your journey ------------- TTC since 06 with MFI IVF with ICSI 2007 BFN DI Sept 08=BFP DS 06/09 TTC #2 since June 2010 DI#2 Aug10=BFP MC@10weeks 2011= 10 rounds of DI 4 with clomid- all neg May 2012- IVF |

MFI here too!
Plan is for me to lose weight to get waitlisted for IVF with ICSI, and while waiting try IUI with DH doing all sorts of natural stuff to boost quality sperm production. If no dice, proceed to IVF-ICSI. No dice there, try donor sperm, egg issues means selling the house and going to San Diego for donor eggs. |

MFI here as well. We are due to have our first IVF/ICSI in Nov 2011 after nearly an 18 month wait on the waiting list for public funded.
We were referred to FA by my Dr. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
