My husband and I have been TTC with 1st child since June. I will be 36 in July and he will be 34 in May. We went to get checked in December and just had a follow up this week, to rule out PCOS. On my end, everything is fine with some mild PCOS in my LO and a smaller uterus, making my fallopian highway longer. My husband's sperm is not great, count at 42 million, low motility (I think 22%), poor morphology. Both tests for him showed the same in Dec and this week. We have changed diets, stopped drinking and both are taking Fertil-Aid (he is only taking it once a day as it made him sick), and plan to take more vitamins as needed. These changes have been going on for a month. My husband still smokes. >
Our doctor said that we could only conceive with help and suggested IUI. I read on some sites that IUI is not recommended for poor motility, others said it was fine. I am looking for more advice/experience with vitamins, diet changes and sperm quality, as well as IUI advice with poor motility/morphology. We are thinking to wait another couple months to see if there are any changes, as it takes sperm 3 months to cycle through before taking on the cost of IUI.
Any help is very welcome!
