Arimidex for Male Factor Infertility

[Nicole]

My husband is on this drug to try to help with his infertility.

Has anyone had any experience with this treatment, or heard of it being used in this way with positive results?

I'd appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks.

Greetings Nicole. I am currently on Arimidex and it is working out for me. It may take between 2 to 3 months before your husband may start seeing significant results. I'm assuming that Arimidex was prescribed for your husband after a hormone test was done on him. Also, when they do the next semen analysis, make sure they test both semen and morphology. If there is a male infertility specialist in your area, this will be the person your husband will want to see. There are a lot of urologist out there claiming they understand this aspect, but are not very knowledgeable about treatment. Hope this helps!

My husband had azoospermia ... ZERO sperm count. Arimidex has worked for him as well. He was on a "strong" dose it seemed 1 mg every day ... took two months for him as well. It's worth a try ... and your insurance will most likely cover it since it comes up as a cancer drug.

My husband has low sperm count (1.8 mill), poor morphology (broken necks) and low motility. With Initial tests (blood,genetic & ultrasound) doctor has ruled out varicocelle, no genetic defects like missing Y chromosome. Blood test showed low testosterone levels (based on FSH). He has recommended Armidex, and a test on progress to see after 2 months.
I see some of you have experience with this drug. Any updates after Feb 6th (last post). It will give me a lot of confidence while we go through this.

It worked for us. We went from low counts of poor quality to not too bad counts and have a beautiful daughter now. Thinking of trying again.
Good luck!

Lil thats great. Can you provide any reference point of what was the improvement? I understand it could differ from a case to case basis but what shd I expect my count to be after 4 months.(i had 1.8 mil with 5% active motility 2 mths ago).
Also, did you have to go with ICSI or IUI?

Hi I was wondering what the side effects are for men taking this drug?

[Jen]

Yes, I was also wondering what the effects are for the males that take this. My husband will be taking it due to his Klinefelter's.

My husband is also going to take this for Klinefelters. We are trying to start a family and was wondering if anyone has had any luck having children.
