Madam with ivf, they can have babies that are not sicklers. They are some selection that will be done during the process to avoid having ss babies. Dont blame them for that, they already have other issues.

@engrsarah you can get more info from this group on Facebook pcos and ttc support group ( they are mostly American ladies there who have done ivf in USA and also issues like your hubby's own). Also visit a fertility specialist . I wish you the best.
Thank you so much ma! I will try to connect with the facebook group. As for @tyhgfrdeswcbhf, she is clearly ignorant and talks like she is God. I don't really have anything against people being insensitive, just shows their personality.

Welcome mama, other sabi mamas will say one or two things to you once they are online. meanwhile, try natural methods like fruit and healthy eating for your hubby, no smoking, no drinking and no placing of his laptop on his thigh, he shouldn't drive long distance too or anythung that could cause heat or discomfort to his scrotum. And I believe in miracle sha.
Thank you ma! My major concern is the AS thingy (well, which is clearly our fault)..lol.

Hello mamas/papas in the house. Great job with this thread...I have been on this thread for sometime now but I am seriously considering going for an IVF because it seems like my best option right now.

I got married in mid 2016 and hubby and I were apart for a year. But we have been together for over 2 years now but nothing...never been pregnant even once. Anyways, we started seeing a reproductive endocrinologist recently and he is suggesting IVF. DH's sperm analysis showed low motility and zero normal shaped. He has also had one testicle removed and an hernia surgery. The doctor said he is not so worried about the motility because he can help improve that but that the absence of any normal shaped semen is his fear.

Now, we are in the US and IVF is crazy expensive here but dh and I have decided to take a loan or whatever and do it (apart from the sperm issues, we are both AS and were planning to do Amniocentesis or something along that line). However, now since we have not even been able to conceive, we think we will be killing two birds with a stone (very expensive stone though).


My questions then are:
1. Would the issue of having no normal shaped semen not also affect the success rate of the IVF
2. Has anyone on this thread (or anyone you know) done IVF in the US? Need to ask some questions
3. Any general advise for me and my issues
