Hi obrienc. Welcome to the forum, and I know you will get loads of support from the girls here. I would imagine that with Klinefelters you will be needing ICSI. I do hope all goes well for you both, and of course you're successful. Diane

Hi there! I hope you are doing well. I am glad that you are finally moving towards IVF. It's a great treatment, i have had both my babies through IVF. It's important to do some research before you opt for any clinic. If the clinic you are opting for has a high success rate then chances of you conceiving will be high as well. Everything else depends on you, you need to avoid smoking and drinking. Also, stay away from all types of unhealthy food. Do some exercise and yoga to make your body strong. I hope this helps you. Good luck. Stay blessed. Take care. Bye!

Hi there! How are you? I hope you are doing fine. I am so happy for you. I always get so excited when i look at someone ttc. It's a good thing that you are finally moving forward. There are a lot of things to watch out for. First of all, scammers, there are so many clinics out there who will scam you. Second, you will meet people who will guide you wrong. So make sure you do your research of clinics and treatment. Then nobody will be able to change your mind. I hope this works out for you. Good luck. Stay blessed. Bye!

Hi there! How are you? I am so sorry for your boyfriend's condition. I will pray that IVF helps you. It helped me during my infertility so according to me if you can give birth to a baby then IVF is the best option for you. If you can't do that, then the only option left for you is to go for surrogacy. Even in that you can conceive a baby biologically if you provide your eggs for the treatment. I am glad that you are not nervous or anything, mostly people are like that in this journey. Even I was devastated when it came to this. I had no idea what i was doing and how i was doing. But the clinic i was opting for really helped me out. Take good care of yourself. Good luck to you dear. Goodbye!

Welcome! We also had male factor infertility and in the end used donor sperm. I’m pregnant after second round of IVF. It’s a difficult and fairly long journey but you will get great support here. Wishing you all the best xx

Hey there! We had ICSI too. There are some great resources that helped me, there’s a podcast called BFN which is amazing, and a book called Get A Life: a couples guide to IVF, that helps both of you as it’s written from both perspectives.

It’s a bit of a tough journey emotionally but the hope it gives us is amazing! Xx
