If you DH is not on a fertility vitamin for men and isn't eating/drinking healthy, he needs to start that immediately. You can help sperm a lot but doing simple things. If it is an implantation issue, PGD isn't a magic bullet.
We've found that everything I have is normal. He, on the other hand, has morphology showing chromosomal issues with his sperm. He's incredibly healthy, on vitamins, exercises, eats well -- we'd been swaying for a boy for well over a year. The only thing that has changed negatively since my DD is his age as he is now 37.
Again, I was asking if anyone on these HT boards happened to have success first try. A reproductive endocrinologist is who suggested IVF with PGD for me.

I really do hope you figure out what's going on. Maybe it's just terrible luck! I don't know. Hopefully this gets resolved!
exactly. If this was an autoimmune thing causing the pregnancy losses there is no one better than Dr. Braverman on Planet Earth for that and Nuthin's point is that if it is, putting back a chromosomally normal baby will still end sadly and thus it's best to get everything checked out under the sun first before proceeding.

Yup Unfortunately all my research, all my swaying, all my reaching for "maybe my levels aren't normal enough?"
Nope. It was hubby. Good thing I pushed for that semen analysis...
