Any success stories with low sperm counts?

Question

BF and I have been ttc for just over 3 years. He has a low sperm count - not drastically, but enough to cause a problem. I did get pregnant naturally, but miscarried at 10 weeks, we have also had 1 failed attempt at IVF. I'd love to hear of some success stories from people in the same boat as us - just started the evil period yet again! lol x P.S BF is doing EVERYTHING he possibly can to increase count - no drinking/smoking/caffiene, wearing boxers [or nothing] eating loads of fruit/veg, taking vitamins/zinc/vit C and acupunture!

Answer 1

have him sit on frozen vegetables, and my aunt and uncle also had this problem, just be patient not so stressed out because when your body is calm and relaxed it is most likely to happen...and they went thru ivf like 3 times just keep doin what your doin but don't make it a chore make sure your still having fun

Answer 2

my husband has a low count,and varcocele,and i had a tubal reversal surgery,and I got pregnant naturally,but had a miscarriage at 7 weeks,both of my doctors said we'll be fine because i already conceived naturally. in do time it will happen

good luck to you

its true when you DONT try that's when it happens, that's how i got pregnant last time

Answer 3

my sister in law and her husband were trying for 3 years she had polysystic ovaries and only had one tube working and he had varicous vains down there and very low sperm count only 10 % ok, they decided to try ivf as they were offered one lot free. any way the month before starting ivf she found out she was pregnant naturally i know its hard but the best thing to do is take your mind off trying plan something else eg a holiday it worked for her and for me good luck and all the best  

Answer 4

Me and my ex now were told we couldnt have children because we had been trying for over 12mths with no success so we went to a specialist it turns out he had a low sperm count i couldnt tell you how low though but the doctor said we couldnt concieve so to me i presumed it was very low BUT only 1 sperm has to reach the egg.Anyway every mth when period came i was so upset that i wasnt pregnant this went on for 5yrs i got to the point thats it im giving up and i know we were trying way to hard which was stopping me from falling pregnant.So i went on with life enjoying my husband and bugger me the next mth i fell pregnant i gave birth to a boy that was 12yrs ago all i can say is just enjoy what u have at the moment i know its easier said than doen and i gaurentee u will fall pregnant if u stop tryin so hard good luck.
