Hello,

I am looking for a email support buddy. I am CD 2 but that doesn't really matter. We have male factor, that too doesn't matter just looking for a friend to provide support and recieve support from. TTC and over come IF is the most stressful taxing thing I can think of and no one seems to understand around me because they all were sucessful in TTC.
Thanks,
Deb
TTC #1 for 7 months
CD 2

Hey Deb-
I replied to your intro post. Just so you know you are not alone. There are lots of us dealing with MF IF so you will get lots of support.

You're definitely not alone. We just had an analysis done and we have some improvement with diet changes(borderline diabetic) and vitamins but still low counts. We would have to do IVf with ICSI.

We also have male factor. My husband's sperm count is low but manageable (I think last test was 22 mil up from 12 mil) but his morphology is currently at 8% up from 1%. You can email or private message me anytime.

Hey..I am in the same boat! This is a horrible situation and many people tell me to get over it and adopt or something.
I have just done an iui and am 8dpo. I don't have alot of support from friends or family as they do not understand (they all got pregnant on 1st or 2nd try)
The iui isn't something that will work as we onlyh had 300,000 sperm and the bare minimum is a million.
ICSI is our next step...not really looking forward to that because the let down if it doesn't work will be too much for me.
Anyway, I know how you feel!!!

Hi wannabemommy,

You are definitely not alone. DH and I are also dealing with MFIF. We are also doing IVF with ICSI this month. You are in the right place for support and encouragement. It is amazing what they can do with ARTS. Take heart. You have lot’s of friends here willing to listen to you and share their experiences with you.

Hi - I completely understand where you are coming from. We currently has a MF, his las count done ion May was 6 million, but when we did our IUI last weekend the first one was 7million and the second was 4million, I have looked into severala different ways to increase his count but they doesna't seem to be much hope. I can't believe that after all modern medicine can do for us women, there really isn't a proven way to crease a man;s sperm count. Anytime you need to talk, this is a great place to come, no one understands like we do, especially well meaning family and friends that have had no problems of their own, so anaytime you want to talk, ask questions or vent sign on as their is always someone aroung to help.
