[QUOTE="lt84, post: 170002, member: 38976"] Hi, everyone... I've been posting to this thread for probably six months now. I'd like some guidance as I have another update and would like an opinion before we have a follow up appointment next week. Hubby started on HCG monotherapy (1500IU/3Xweek) in July. He had a follow up SA and bloodwork in late September and his SA results showed 4 million/ml with low morph and motility. Testosterone was 368. Andrologist upped his HCG to 2000 IU/3X week and added Clomid 50 mg/every other day. He spent about two weeks on the Clomid but felt crappy, so she decided he could discontinue that. So after four months of 2000IU/3X week on HCG, he had more follow up bloodwork and an SA. Bloodwork showed a total test of 260 and with LH at 1.1 and FSH at .6. His SA was still super low at 13 million/ml and still crappy morph and motility. We've been trying for a baby for nearly 2 years now. Hubby is frustrated and we need to figure something out. We had a baby naturally only three years ago, so we know his body is able... we are just trying to figure this out. Hoping you experts can help answer a few questions for me. 1. Why would his test DROP that much on a higher HCG dose? He said he feels decent (still lacks libido though), so we were both extremely surprised by this number. 2. Would adding the Clomid back help? He said he will do it if this will help his test and SA parameters. 3. Based on his bloodwork, would adding FSH or HMG give him the boost in sperm that he's looking for? At this point we would just like to regain enough to be able to be IUI candidates because at this point natural conception is pretty much impossible. Any takeaways from this? I want more info for this appointment. We have spent way too much time on treatments that just aren't working and he's getting depressed about his infertility. Let me know if you all have any suggestions. TIA. ****ETA**** I should add that we have been tracking his sperm under our own microscope at home, so we can kind of see when he has influxes in count or even major issues with motility. I can see plenty of free swimmers, but I knew his count was still low (although I didn't realize it was only 13 million/ml-- i was thinking 25-30 million based on past observations). I haven't noticed any major differences in count between November and now. It has been very steady and doesn't seem to be improving anymore. [/QUOTE]
