We're currently waiting on blood test results to see if there's a hormonal imbalance at work. If there is, our urologist suggests Tamoxifen rather than Clomid (they work similarly, though). However, I wanted to pass along that my in-laws had count and motility problems when they were TTC my husband and BIL. Clomid was enough for them to get pregnant both times. So, I guess it's true that it really depends on the person.<br /><br />Good luck!!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203780431443748216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241329838758664689.post-71140684894460810722009-08-31T21:10:32.298-04:002009-08-31T21:10:32.298-04:00All my husband's testing came back normal as f...All my husband's testing came back normal as far as finding a 'cause' for the severe MFI...but we were offered Clomid "just to see". We chose to pass and just proceed with IVF/ICSI....I've heard it can help, but I think the cases where it does are much less than those where it does nothing.'Murgdan'https://www.blogger.com/profile/00740095971968567222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241329838758664689.post-7302085993131459372009-08-31T17:36:33.447-04:002009-08-31T17:36:33.447-04:00Hi there...also from LFCA!

We also have MFI (low count/motility) and my DH was on Clomid for about 3 months or so (the absolute minimum amount of time one can be on it to see if it works given sperm production is on something like a 76 day cycle). It did nothing to help and from what I understood, it really depends on the person. Some men respond well and others, not so much. However we did have one thing that helped TREMENDOUSLY and I'm so surprised we even tried it given how skeptical we usually are, but we had a few docs recommend it. DH went on F.ertility Blend for men and after about 3 months, he went from 5 mil total count to 26 mil. After about 4-5 months, he was up to something like 140 mil. We could not believe it. (motility was still a bit low, though) I'm guessing that the effectiveness of either pill is dependent on the person and the cause for the MFI, though, but it might be worth a shot. I wonder if you can take both at the same time? Best of luck!Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085283320884411888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241329838758664689.post-74861377345781299632009-08-31T13:37:11.176-04:002009-08-31T13:37:11.176-04:00Hi, I clicked over from the LFCA and wanted to sha...Hi, I clicked over from the LFCA and wanted to share my two cents on Clomid for your husband. Mine took the normal dosage and waited the three months to do another SA and it didn't help at all. :( It made him extremely moody and emotional. At one point, he threw the remaining tablets away, but later got them out of the trash and finished the course. It was pretty rough. BUT, all that said, if it's something that might be helpful and help you guys feel like you're doing SOMEthing, then maybe you should at least talk to the doctor about it. Just glancing through your archives, I can sooo relate to many apsects of your journey. We had a failed first attempt at IVF and then it worked the second time. I don't have an IF blog, but please feel free to email me at aotexas at gmail dot com if you have any other questions about clomid. And I'd love to share more of our story with you if you're interested.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163227092549490234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241329838758664689.post-59528757476008985662009-08-30T14:45:39.957-04:002009-08-30T14:45:39.957-04:00No experience or advice to offer up on the Clomid,...No experience or advice to offer up on the Clomid, but hope you are able to find some good info before your next appt. It feels good to be doing "something", huh? (-;<br /><br />Sending good thoughts for the house sale. It is such a tricky market.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.com
