Hey ladies I'm new to this page.we where told that my husband has low sperm count low mobility: ( and that we need isci ivf. We are saving up to do it may next year. But my husband is so depressed he says he feels worthless. I try to do everything to cheer him up. Not as successful as Id like. Has anyone been in same situation? And how have u gotten through it? Wat helps.
Welcome. Sorry to hear you are taking this journey. I hope you get the suport you need (and sure you will). We did icsi because of male factors, but my dh's circumstances were different. We did have a few fights and alot of tears over our situation, but ive just shown him i dont blame him and stood by him.
Hugs :hug: When we were trying to conceive baby #1 (for more than 12 months) my DH was told his count was low and it was unlikely we'd conceive naturally. We were devastated but sought another opinion, who was optimistic we could improve it. My DH started on Menevit and also saw a Chinese herbalist and started taking lots of supplements as recommended by her. It obviously did something as 3-4 months later we were pregnant. Maybe something to try while saving for icsi/ivf?
It's really common for couples to have trouble conceiving, but if you have to be one of those couples, IMO MFI is about as good as it gets, because all of the complex physiological processes of making a baby are on the woman's side. Our FS said as had excellent chances with ICSI because there was nothing (apart from age) going against us on my side.
But, it is perfectly natural that your partner would struggle to come to terms with it. You can't fix that got him, or say anything that will change how he feels about it. Just accept it, and reassure him that it doesn't change how you feel about him (as long as that's true, of course!)
Thanks guys for ur messages. He's started taking menivit and lost 20kg ( he's a big guy) :) I'm so proud of his efforts and hoping it improves his sperm and self esteem.
