We have MF and DOR (me & him). DH was on clomiphone for about 3-4 months in our early stages and it did increase his count but not significantly. We then went on to IVF w/ICSI due to the MF and my issues as well. As you can see by my signature we took a break and our back on our baby journey. We started acupuncture (both of us) and DH takes kidney strengthing herbs (from the acupuncturist) as well as l-carnitine, multivitamin and fish oil. I've been taking herbs as well and we are excited to see if this has helped us with our upcoming IVF (again with ICSI). If nothing else the acupuncture has done wonders for our stress levels and this is coming from a couple that wanted nothing to do with needles! ha ha. Look into your options, ask alot of questions and do what feels right for you both. Best of luck on your baby journey!
