Hi
I have been reading all the postes for the last 3 months. This is my first post. I have been diagnosed with low count and motility. (SA1 9 Mil wth 20% motility and 60% Morphology) (SA2 3 Mil with 10% Motility 60% Morpholgy).I have large Varicocele in my left side. I have normal harmone levels and the genetic test came up normal for the Karyotype(I may be spelling wrong) The Micro deletion test result is not yet arrived. My wife had thyroid problems (Hypothyroid) She takes Levoxyl 12.5 mcg and she had a slightly elevated level when we tested last time around 7. We are meeting RE next week he already suggested IVF is our only chance. My questions are
1. How does thyroid affects the IVF? Do we hv to make sure she is in correct thyroid level b4 we proceed?
2. Do we hv to do ICSI?
3. What other test has to be done on me like anti sperm antibodies?
4. Does IVF is more successful if MF is the cause of infertility?
She will be 28 October. I am 31. We are TTC for 27 Months. Thank you for all your support. It is been a wonderful place for me to find a lot of answers and a great place to keep my spirits up. I was devastated when we heard it first but these boards are the one giving us support?
Thanks
