What Are The Success Rates Of IUI With Low Sperm Motility?
Question: Hello Dr., I am 35 and husband 38, we are trying for the past 1 year to concieve. went to a infertility specialist, they ordered some tests for me first, such as blood test, prolactin, fsh, tsh, HSG, all were negative. since I dont have regular cycles, ranges from 40 to 60 days, they put me on clomephene citrate, subcutaenous injections, HSG injection. I am scheduled tomorrow for my last HSG injection, but now my husband's count is low, sperm concentration 30 mil, total motility 25%, rapid progressive motility 03%. He has been taking meds for the past 2 days, we had opted for natural for this cycle, but since his motility is low, can we opt for IUI, is there any success this time with natural or IUI?
Brief Answer:
You can go for IUI this cycle
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your husband's semen analysis is normal and no need for any treatment. This sperm parameter is good for IUI.
But considering your age you should go for IVF. Try IUI this cycle. If you don't conceive then go for IVF next cycle.
Regards
