Considering IVF?
Posted: Tue Nov 19, 2013 11:03 pm
New to fertility posting.
I'm 33, my husband (38) and I never used birth control except perhaps the first months. We have now been married 4 years and have been trying especially hard since last year. Monitoring ovulation (clear blue) (. We then tried 4 cycles with Clomid.
Recently my AMH came out low: 0.84
His tests are also not great:
Sperm count: 1million (50 % abnormal, 40% rapid progression, 40% immotile)
TSH: 1.643
LH: 2.45
FSH: 1.06
Prolactin: 14.81
We have done one IUI.
I was reading on other sites that IUI with low sperm counts (especially less than 1 million after wash) don't work. Do you think we should save the time and money and do an IVF directly. Or is there some hope in doing IUI. Is there anything we should be doing to increase DH sperm count?
Given my low AMH i do not want to waste our fertility time.
Hoping to get an answer soon
Please please please advise.
Best,
