IUI or IVF?

Molly • IVF/ICSI 2015 👶 Jan 2016 FET 2020 👶April 2021

My DH and I met with a new RE this afternoon and my hope was to discuss <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> as an option. (a brief history about us we are dealing with male factor infertility he has low count, highest count was 16 million, lowest count was 4 milion. we have been trying for our first for two years and have already done clomid, nothing resulted in pregnancy)

So our new RE tells us that we may not have enough sperm to successfully do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> because there has to be a formula of count and motility etc and he suggested trying <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. I feel so sad like the past two years of trying was for nothing, the clomid was a waste and I just don't know what to do. Has anyone had a successful <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> with low sperm count? Should I get another opinion or give this RE a chance?
