Need advice for hubby

[tinksmagic]

After being told my 2 miscarriages were due to maternal age, we just found out today hubby is operating with only 8% normal sperm. I'm crestfallen. We are doing ICSI which I'm hoping will improve our chances. What can he do to decrease the abnormal ones?

Is he taking a good fertility supplement? Are you using 24-chromosome testing?

Cyvita is what most of the HT gals have their husband take or something like Fertility Blend for Men from GNC.

Natera testing will actually tell you if the abnormality is maternal or paternal. Requires a FET though with day 5 biopsy.

[tinksmagic]

Yes, we're doing the 24 through Natera (finally!-AND to top it off, we WERE lied to again by the last clinic about Natera). We've already done our karyotyping (both normal) and our blood and chromosomes are with Natera now.
I'll def pick up at GNC tomorrow.

We have't seen good results with your cliinic honestly.

Natera will be able to tell you where the abnormalities are coming from.

Our clinic is FCNE out of Dedham, MA. What results have you heard? They were the only clinic we met with who meet our desires. We interviewed 6 others, none would do gender.

What does cyvita do to help? Performance is not an issue He's been taking supplements and maca for almost 2 years now.

[nuthinbutpink]

I'm sorry. We have had a couple of BFPs from FCNE.

It is a specific fertility supplement designed to yield better results with sperm. Your age comes into play more that his but it should only help to get him on a good supplement. I would stop the Maca.

I've gotten bfp with each cycle, just abnormal embryos. My numbers have been great (with the exception of them giving me bcp's and chemically spiking my fsh). At this point, I'm hoping the ICSI will be our saving grace and gender is secondary, I'll take whatever I can get who us healthy at this point.

So Cyvita isn't like Viagra? Google search results make them seem synonymous. What will maca do? Last cycle when he took it we got 5 boys out of 6.
