Hi Charlieboo_57. It depends why you needed IVF in the first place. Do you have an infertility problem too? If so, they will have to honour the IVF cycle. If not, then you would need to have donor insemination. If your husband/partner is producing tiny amounts of sperm, couldn’t the cycle be carried out using ICSI? Just a thought. Kind regards Diane

Hi, I would question the IUI if you have POS and low hormones, it suggests some female as well as male factor, therefore it may be better to try and use an IVF round which the Drs have more control over. so it may be to ask as suggested by Diane.

However, needing donor sperm is something you and your partner should take some time to consider and get some counselling as there are long-term implications that you should consider prior to starting such treatment.

Good luck
