Hello Doctor Loy. My parent (my Dad 58 and my Mom 39) went trough their first cycle of IVF wishing to hold their own very first baby. Doctors retrieved 13 eggs from my Mom, 12 were mature and 6 of them were fertilized. But after 5 days of egg retrieval my parents decided to make genetic testing to make sure that all of the remaining embryos were normal. There were 2 or three embryos left which resulted abnormal and did not make their way to transfer. :( Why do you think this happened? And do you think the amount of eggs retrieved was a good number? Doctor said that they don't have any issues. Now they are eating more greens and even more vegetable to  prepare their body for the next cycle of IVF. Do you have any suggestions for them? Thank you in advance.

My husband had surgery in February to correct a varicocele, spermatocele and remove 4 cysts from his left testicle. Before surgery his SA was : 1.6million/ml with 2 ml total, 12% morphology and 25% motility. In June it was 6.5milliom/ml with 2.5ml total, 25% morphology and 55% motility. He repeats the SA in January. His urologist said that would be fine for an IUI. We just saw a Ob/Gyn last week who specializes in infertility and he shot the idea of IUI out of the water saying our only option was IVF with those numbers?! Who should I believe more?  The Ob/gyn said he would put me on clomid for 2-3 months so I release another egg, but that it would not help our chances at all!? So why would I even want Clomid? Help? My husband is 33, I am 25.
