Dr Randy Morris MD-The BOARD CERTIFIED fertility expert with weekly TTC tips on InfertilityTV. Here is the dilemma. Most people know that the highest pregnancy rates are achieved with IVF. On the one hand, there are easier, more conservative treatments available which are less expensive. On the other hand, you don’t want to waste time with a treatment that is unlikely to work.. How can you decide if going directly to IVF is right for you? Here are 5 findings on sperm tests to help you decide.. Number 1. Too many weirdly shaped sperm. Sperm morphology looks at the shape and appearance of sperm. All men, even those with perfectly normal fertility, have some number of abnormal appearing sperm. What about guys who have all of their sperm look abnormal? Turns out these guys have a pretty difficult time producing pregnancies. Without the help of IVF, these couples could take a lot longer to conceive. They should go directly to IVF.. Number 2. Azoospermia. If your partner has no sperm in the semen when he ejaculates, he might still have some sperm in his testicles that can be obtained with a biopsy or surgery. However, testicular sperm are not able to fertilize eggs on their own. During IVF, testicular sperm can be injected directly into an egg to get fertilization. Go directly to IVF.. Number 3. Very low sperm counts. Even when your partner does have sperm, if the numbers of sperm are very low, the chances for success with conservative treatments like intercourse or intrauterine insemination are also very low. While there isn’t an absolute cutoff and there are rare cases when a guy with very low counts might still produce a pregnancy, the lower the number, the lower the chance for success without IVF. A good rule of thumb? If there are less than one million sperm, go directly to IVF. Number 4. Not enough moving sperm. Bottom line here is this: some sperm swim and some sperm don’t. Having enough sperm that are able to swim fast and straight is hugely import for being able to conceive. A very low percentage of moving sperm makes it very difficult to get pregnant. Go directly to IVF.. Number 5. Abnormal results on a Cap-Score test. Most sperm never develop the ability to fertilize eggs on their own. A man with normal fertility will usually have about one third of his sperm become capable of fertilizing. Some men might have a very low percentage of sperm that develop that ability. You cannot determine this with a standard semen analysis! A new test, known as a Cap-Score Sperm Function Test CAN tell you this. Normal results indicate couples that often get pregnant in 3-4 months. Abnormal results suggest that you should go straight to IVF.. Increase your “Infertelligence” TM.

Not Wanting to Go Through the Emotional Stress. Fertility treatment can be extremely stressful, and stressors range from the emotional drain of waiting to see if you are pregnant, to the routine that must be meticulously followed, to the “hormones from hell” as some of the medications are popularly described. It is a big decision to go down this path, and there a few very valid reasons why you may decide not to. You have a range of options available to you right now, and one of them, just as valid as any other option, is the decision to not pursue fertility treatment.
Here a few reasons why: Money. Fertility treatment is expensive. Note also that becoming pregnant at a younger age (with or without fertility treatment) reduces your risk for chromosomal abnormalities.
Results. You are certainly worried about the result of fertility treatment. That may make some women fearful of.
If an egg ovulated from your ovaries can’t reach the uterus—and sperm can’t get to the egg—you can’t get pregnant. In some situations, surgical repair of the fallopian tubes can avoid the need for IVF. However, success rates vary considerably, and it’s not a good option for most women with severe tubal disease.
After a failed fertility treatment cycle, you have several options. You may decide to try again using the same treatment. You may choose to try again with a different treatment. Or you may decide not to pursue further treatment. The path that’s right for you will depend on your particular situation and what you have already tried.
You might then want to undertake these elements to find out what the issues may be, what will be involved and what the associated costs are for your individual circumstances. You can then leave it there, discuss the results and costs with another provider, or decide to leave it there if you decide not to pursue treatment. We will not qualify for any funding for IVF. We have decided not to pursue IVF as an option despite the fact that we would love to give our daughter a sibling.
The reasons are that we don’t have enough savings and would need to borrow to do IVF and the chances of success for us are very slim. I think if I had let my body take time, we might not have had to go through what we did (we ended up with #2 instantly with no fertility treatment). In a way, I wish we had tried the wait and see approach. Best of luck to whatever you choose.
Just remember, people are nosy and the questions won’t stop so be prepared. Psychological stress and emotional problems are common, especially if in vitro fertilization (IVF) is unsuccessful. IVF is expensive, and many insurance plans do not provide coverage for fertility treatment.
The cost for a single IVF cycle can range from at least $12,000-$17,000. What if I don’t produce healthy eggs or my husband is sterile?If you’re not in a large metropolitan area you may not have as many choices and may have to drive quite a distance for fertility treatment.
Wherever you live, you can try to find a fertility clinic that has early morning, evening or weekend hours so you don’t have to miss much time from work.
List of related literature:
Once a couple know that they risk having a child with a serious genetic disease they may choose to avoid doing so by various methods: they may choose not to have children; to use pre-natal testing with the intention of terminating affected pregnancies; to use donated sperm or eggs as relevant; to use IVF with PID.
As recently stressed by a group of experts, androgens and drugs that increase ovarian androgens, such as letrozole, may become important adjuncts for patients with low prognosis IVF (174).
The decision to recommend ART should be based on the likelihood that a pregnancy will occur without treatment, the possibility that a less invasive form of treatment might be effective and the likely outcome of IVF treatment (National Institute for Clinical Excellence 2004).
I had been told by more than one physician that I would not be able to have children, as I was not making any ‘follicles,’ even following a round of trying out the fertility drug Perganol.
Many infertile women agree to undergo procedures that are onerous and risky because they are convinced that this is necessary if they are to conceive (Bartholet 1993).
Although FP may initially concern cancer patients, there are many other medical conditions that may compromise fertility, such as endometriosis or high risk for early ovarian failure, where an intervention as safeguarding gametes for future use is required to uphold fertility potential.
Research on DHEA has focused on these particular patients because this type of infertility is incredibly difficult to treat, and DHEA appears to get at the core of the problem by increasing the number of eggs produced in an IVF cycle.
Most fertility specialists are conscientious in counseling their patients about the risks and limitations of fertility treatment, but these physicians are reticent to deny a woman treatment if she is willing to assume the risks of the treatment.
from Medical Care Law by Edward P. Richards, Katharine C. Rathbun Aspen Publishers, 1999
IVF can also be used with oocyte donation, for instance, where the woman has ovarian dysfunction (such as premature menopause or Turner syndrome) or has a high risk of transmitting an inherited disorder as in vitro culture of the embryo permits preimplantation diagnosis (see Chapter 7).
Medical treatments do not improve fertility rates as many treatment options are contraceptive in themselves and should not be used if women wish to try to conceive.
Kutluk Oktay, MD, FACOG is one of the world's foremost experts in fertility preservation as well as ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization for infertility treatments. He developed and performed the world's first ovarian transplantation procedures as well as pioneered new ovarian stimulation protocols for embryo and oocyte freezing for breast and endometrial cancer patients.

I’m almost 18, but I have some serious baby fever. I don’t want to be in my late 20s or early 30s when I have a kid. I’m hoping to maybe have a baby at 18 or 19. I’m not planning on being in a relationship, so what age do I have to be to be eligible for something like artificial insemination or IVF?
Wow, so nice and helpful. Just came across. Your very thorough and to the point. I’ll be seeing my OB in few weeks and will ask if I can take an AMH test. Are there questions I should pose as to their testing methods? You said there is no way to increase AMH, but is there way to preserve what you got longer? Also, what if you’re not a regular smoker but you smoked for about 3-4months straight at some point… is that a permanent damage or can your body/ovaries recover if you stopped completely? What other tests should we ask for at OB that will help give a state of our ovaries?
Btw I also see you make an effort to answer each question which is comforting as you’re actually reading the comments…. thank you ���� for doing this! Where are you located? Do you believe in food affecting the health state of our ovaries? Are there things we should or shouldn’t eat to maintain healthy ovaries?
