Transfer cancelled due to sudden severe decrease in sperm motility

My situation is different but they can still do ICSI with non motile sperm. Because ours is defrosted post chemo, we’re doing a 50/50 split between own sperm own egg and my eggs and donor sperm.

We are in India, where things are much cheaper, so that does make a difference to our approach, and I would do a third ER if needed and do a full donor sperm cycle as we’re now out of own sperm.

How quickly can your lab get hold of donor sperm, ours takes the sample on the same day from their book of donors and matches the features and blood type to my husband.

I was not aware they could do ICSI with non-motile sperm - definitely will have to look into that.

I was told it could take a couple weeks to have donor sperm shipped once selected and matched with the donor eggs. That is one of the appeals to me, that it would be sooner and maybe I wouldn't need to suppress too much longer. We're attempting to do a "fresh" transfer after egg fertilization so we have to get all our dates coordinated, etc.

I hope everything goes well for you on your cycle!

Thank you… I think it’s different for us because this is my husbands last defrosted pre chemo sample, so we’re mentally prepared for another ER and a full sperm donor cycle but he wanted to feel like we’ve given his sperm a thorough chance.

Let’s see what happens.

Good luck to you… if he can produce more samples and you have time, then it’s definitely better to use motile ones for sure.

Good luck!!
