Hi

We have male factor infertility - DH has antisperm antibodies - they are virtually impossible to get rid of. We think they may have been caused by a sporting injury.

We only found out at our consultation with the fertility clinic, and they explained they many people with unexplained turn out to have male factor.

We have just had our first ICSI cycle x

We also have male factor. It seems like there are a lot more of us with male factor in the past month or so. We have really low sperm count due to testicular cancer. DH is fine now, but he had one removed, so his numbers are really low. We are in the process of starting IVF. We had our first consultation the other day and the doctor flat out told us that we won't get pregnant naturally and that he wasn't surprised that my two IUI's failed. Kinda shocked to hear it so bluntly, but also a bit of a relief to know that it's really not something that I'm doing wrong.
Thankfully we have the ability to overcome these obstacles and get our

Wow, this is like the worst roll call to be on ever :P
Sign me on up...

We have oligoasthenospermia (low count, low morph - due to one undescended testicle)

(and I have PCOS and endometriosis)
boo hoo

We are on our icsi journey for male factor also

Low count due to undescended testicles, not treated until the dh was around six years old.

Our egg collection is on Monday, hoping for enough spermies for good fertilisation

Hey MissAma - good idea starting this!

Agree it's got to be the worst roll call ever, but hey ho, I guess that's our lot, eh?

A little about our situation - DH has low everything due to undescended testes too - wasn't treated til he was until 9 or 10.

Sabine, if you don't mind me asking, does your OH still have undescended testes? Don't have to answer if I'm being too nosy. I just wondered if this was something that was physically noticeable. As in, I'm still blaming his mum/parents and really bitter that she didn't pick it up during the thousands of times they've changed his nappy/bathed him.

Am new here so hope am doing this right.

TTC for 1 year
DH has low sperm motility
Ist Cycle IUI this month

peartree, dont mind you asking at all. only one was undescended, but noticed way too late by a school nurse and only fixed at age 8/9. That testicle is a bit smaller than the other, and it feels different - softer - but otherwise not noticeable. I asked if I could phone and shout at his mother and he said yes!!!!
totally blame her. and who doesnt take their kid to a pediatrician anyway, even if she didnt notice it herself!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Has your hubby's been repaired and can you see any difference?

There seem to be quite a few of us with hubbies who had this, didnt realise how 'common' it was.
With some other male factors it is treatable (ie varicocele) but dont think we have many options. did your doc give any other info? mine pretty much sucks.

Please add me to the roll call, my dh has very low motility (10%) and I have PCOS

Whoa there are quite a few of us now indeed! - Except as you can imagine, I think oligospermia is an improvement to our situation so I'm envious you guys have ANY Clives coming out on their own!

I will write a proper list tomorrow. I am thinking it should contain Name - Type of Male Factor - TTC since - Treatment Form -BnB Diary Link. Any other suggestions? In a few months we ought to have success stories links too!
