TTC for 18 months, DH has a normal sperm count but a very low number of ones that can actually do the job. Have seen a urologist who said anatomy is all normal and just keep trying. I have had an ectopic pregnancy and one tube removed but blood tests and temp charting show i ovulate almost dead on day 14 (though not sure how having one tube affects this- do they just float off into the body??)
So saw GP after 9 months of trying, changed lifestyle to increase chances as advised and now thinking of next steps. GP usually does what is asked but not anymore if that makes sense? When we went last time she just asked what action we would like to take and i asked for sperm/ blood tests and to see a specialist. So would like to go in armed and ready with a plan!
So my questions based on your collective wisdom are:
-Would clomid be useful in this situation?
- are there any drugs that boost sperm quality
- if we do need to look at more treatment is it worth going straight in for IVF or working our way up? We are self funding if that makes any difference to available options
Thanks and sorry post is so long!
