When I was with Dr McBain he only wanted to have SA through RWH also. We had previously had one done through our Gyn. The one through the Gyn didn't show up any problems, but the one through RWH showed that my husband also had some morphology problems (I have PCOS which we thought was our only problem), FS then advised that we go straight to ICSI.

I think that I had Dr Whitehead once as a fill in for Dr McBain. Seemed really lovely, but I couldn't tell you of her particular experience with male factor as we were going through OI at the time.

When I first started with Dr McBain, we went through OI (ovulation induction). We did about 4-5 cycles of that before moving to IVF/ICSI. It worked in the fact that it got me ovulating, but obviously didn't get us pregnant. The really good thing though is it got me used to injecting etc. It was like "baby steps" towards the IVF.
