June 17, 2008

Hi,

I got AF in 4th clomid cycle(4th round) and IUI(first Time) and i stopped taking clomid for this cycle bcs my DH is taking "provironum" this month bcs his sperm morphology showed only (ovals 4%)..and my gynae suggested to take this tablet to improve the sperm quality for two months.If i stop the Clomid ,is it possible to have ovulation this month and is this drug provironum helps in increasing the sperm morphology.Is there chances to conceive naturaly with sperm morphology ovals(4%).pls advise..

This medication can help a little and recommended...You may still ovulate while not on clomid, and good to follow your doc's advise...

Dr.Q,

Thanks for your suggestion.Is it possible to conceive on our own with this sperm morphology percentage(ovals 4%).or shd go for iui or IVF.I have PCOS and irregular periods also.

Low likelyhood, always possible, but best with IVF..

Dr.Q,

Thanks for your suggestiin.How about the chances if we try IUI because IVF is somewhat expensive and we worried about the birth defects associated with IVF.Is there anyother way to improve the sperm morphology or better to go IVF.

Hi ,

I did not take clomid for this month and i have changed my gynae too.But my new gynae suggested to give a clomid break for two months and she asked me to go for HSG test to check whether the tubes are normal or blocked.But i am worrying like whether this test is necesary to take or not?One more thing is like do we really need to give two months break after four clomid cycles bcs i dont want to waste another two months in giving a break.Is it advisable to go to fertility specialist instead of gynaecologist.pls advise on all these queries.
