[quote=Anonymous]Over a period of about 4 years, my husband has had probably 8 sperm tests and every single one of them came back with horrible morphology (among other things).  The only good part of his tests was his sperm count, everything else was always at or near zero.  When we were first trying to conceive, back in 2003, several doctors (particularly at Shady Grove) told us there was no point in doing anything but IVF/ICSI, and that our chances on our own were essentially zero.  Just after I got the prescription for meds for our first IVF cycle, I found out I was pregnant (I was 36).  A second natural pregnancy followed quickly, and my children are 15.5 months apart.  In the years after that, my husband has gotten me pregnant again twice.  The first time, after looking to participate in Microsort at GIVF and being denied because of the quality of my husband's sperm, we were again referred to Shady Grove and preparing to seek assistance.  SG required a 2nd HSG (even though I had recently had two kids naturally and the prior HSG had been normal), which, it turns out, was done when I was unknowingly already pregnant, and resulted in a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.  The second time was through IVF and resulted in a blighted ovum.  So, I am now in my 40s, and we've had no luck through all of this effort trying to have a third.  I am so thankful for the two wonderful children I had through pure good fortune.  It may be that my problems in recent years are due to my husband's sperm, but more likely, I think, due to my age.  One thing I'm sure of is that the sperm tests are seriously unreliable and may mean absolutely nothing.  Best of luck![/quote]
