Good for y'all. Dh's count moved from 1 million to 30 million with 80% motility using PROXEED or Fertilaid. Ofcourse he has been having this for the past 6 months.

Its an L-carnatine supplement. Please try it if you have MF problems.

My husband's count is 0. I read today that Clomid is not approved by the FDA for use by men, but specialists can prescribe it for men.

Interesting

Hi! Congratulations on the clomid improving the sperm count. Is there anymore information you can provide about this? I'm curious, b/c my husband's sperm count is very low, it's 1 million. The doctor told us that our only alternative was IVF (expensive) and I'm now wondering about Clomid as an option.

My husbands counts best count was 3 million a few months ago and now his highest is down to 2.5 million...he has a y chromosome defect causing the body to stop the production of sperm...and in a year or two will leave him sterile...we did some genetic testing and that is how we found out about where his issue was stemming from...we asked my RE about Clomid for DH and he said while in some cases it can help, but in ours it was not an option and we are now in the first week of our first IVF cycle....It is expensive but it is our best shot....ask your RE is Clomid is right for your husband...hopefully it is and you can be on your way to a !!
