IUI cancelled. Zero moving sperm

Alli

We had our very first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> cancelled this morning due to “zero moving” sperm in our sample. I’m absolutely heart broken and so is my husband.

A little back story. My husband has 3 children. Had a vasectomy shortly after his youngest was born. Met me (no kids) and had a reversal in Sept of 2018. Surgery went perfectly, no complications after. We were given an at home system to check for return of sperm called the “Trak” at 4 weeks and again at 8 weeks his numbers on that were great. We actively ttc until June 2019 when I saw my OBGYN. She ordered an official analysis, everything looked great. 108 mil count, motility 62% and no issues with anything. She encouraged us to try until we got to the 1 year mark and then come back if we didn’t get pregnant. I saw her in September and was started on clomid. My husbands surgeon ordered a round of prednisone that month too just to see if it helped. Well low and behold, I got pregnant. But it ended up being a chemical and my hcg never got over 600. We were so disappointed we decided to just try naturally for a bit longer and then see an RE.

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, we had our first Appt. We all agreed to try <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> with clomid and a trigger. I had some labs done and an antral follicle count done. All looked good. I had an ultrasound and labs yesterday and had 2 very mature follicles and then two more that were really close. My labs indicated I’d be ovulating naturally very soon so they had me trigger last night for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> this morning. Hubby gave sample and they called with the bad news.

My question is, who has experienced anything like this? How could his numbers change so much in just a year? Could this have been a fluke and his next analysis could be normal? Or is that wishful thinking? Any advice or similar stories much appreciated!!
