Home / Community / TTC with Male-Factor Infertility

if you need a little inspiration...

After TTC for over 3 years, this January we found out that my husband's sperm count was 2 million with very poor motility and morphology. After my husband took supplements (starting in early February) that another user recommended to me, my husband's second SA showed 15mil with about 5 mil healthy sperm in March. Feeling discouraged we skipped a month of trying but my husband continued supplements. We have been waiting for his urology appointment and second fertility consultation to discuss IVF. We TTC again in early May and 42 days later I tested positive!

We have a 4 year old daughter that was conceived naturally (not knowing that we had male factor infertility).

I have been on TTC forums for years looking for hope and answers. I started to get sick of hearing about "baby dust" because I felt I had no baby dust after failing to conceive for over 3 years. Somehow we managed to conceive two children in a span of a little over five years. It wasn't as impossible as I thought. I should also mention that my husband is 40 and I am turning 38 next month.

I wanted to share in case anyone in this group needed a little hope.

I included a screenshot of supplements recommended to me in hopes that it may help someone in my same position. I wish we would have got this advice a long time ago. It may be something to run by your fertility specialist.
