[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is that uncommon, (really) so hopefully he is not feeling too bad about it. I had an IUI and it seemed pretty straightforward. I never tried the at home method but I think it is worth a try, since it felt kind of annoying to pay so much for something that basically took no effort on the part of the docs. (or nurse, anyway -doc did not even bother doing it.)[/quote]

Op again - Thanks for this.  In general, our sex life is okay so neither of us feel too bad.

What you are saying is what I am thinking about IUI, but no one really ever says they have managed to get pregnant the at home way. (Probably no one wants to talk about it because the "problem" is so personal, right.)[/quote]

Well, that makes at least 3 of us with this issue! We started TTC when I was 38. He was a champ for a few months, but I think the lack of success hit his ego big time and our sex life since then has been absolutely abysmal. No such thing as a quickie in this house. His sperm also have low count & poor morphology, so that elusive surprise BFP would never happen even if he could finish. After 6 IUIs, 2 IVFs and 2 birthdays we are finally pregnant on our 1st DE IVF.

My advice would be to not waste time tinkering with the at-home method. You have the referral to SG--use it and do a few IUIs. Hindsight is 20/20; looking back with his MFI, we should've gone straight to IVF. Without insurance for anything IF related hat seemed like a big investment, but what we've learned since then is that we'll do whatever it takes to expand our family. GL to you![/quote]
