[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TTC for 3 years. I have PCOS. One pregnancy resulting in miscarriage last year. DH finally did semen analysis today and 70% are immotile, and of the 30% motile, 29% are non-progressive... this seems like really bad news to me...
we have an appointment with RE in a couple of weeks where he will advise on treatment and next steps (couldn't get in earlier), but in the meantime I am going a bit crazy with questioning what's next for us.

If you had similar issues can you please share your experience?  Does this mean going straight to IVF probably? Will it even be possible with his sperm? Is there anything DH can do to improve motility??[/quote]

Sorry for the bad news :( similar situation as us. I have PCOS and my husband has low sperm count (less than 1 mill). We did 2 IUIs last year (which failed)
Previous RE said that IVF was our only option if we wanted to get pregnant quickly. We switched REs for a different reason and our current RE advised us to go see a urologist before making the IVF decision. We saw a urologist and he basically said it could take more than 6 months to see any results if something can be fixed. My husband is still seeing the urologist (appointments are hard to get) and we made the decision to proceed with IVF.
Maybe you could try to get an appointment with the urologist? We had to wait months to get in.

and we are about to start IVF this month. [/quote]
