Hi Elzi

Did your FS make any recommendations about ways to improve DH's sperm quality? I only ask because if you are considering going down the ICSI path then putting in some effort to get the boys well and truly ready is a good idea.

There is noone who can tell you when is the right time to switch to IVF, a bit depends on your age etc but I suppose that given that they are saying that ICSI is the only way but you have had 2 pregnancies I may be seeking another opinion. Usually ICSI is only used when the chance of achieving a pregnancy through even normal IVF is low.

When I was in a position similar to yours I went back and had DH tested again and then FS put him on a high dose antioxidant regime (depends of course on what the DH issue is) and said that it would take 3 months for that to take full effect so go home and have fun in the meantime and see what happens. In our case nothing happened naturally in the meantime but when we then went back to ICSI the super sperm tablets seems to have done the trick.

and goodluck. It is a hard journey this whole TTC thing even before they throw the extra hurdles in the way.
