Bad SA results - updated :( - Page 2

I don't think you should be penalised against due to age, especially not if his SA has shown it is something that wouldn't improve. Having said that, do they know why his SA wasn't good if he is already a dad?

I think it's the lister clinic that does donations - might be worth just enquiring? If you were a good responder you could end up having enough eggs for more than 1 go of ICSI?

Hopefully your GP will refer your partner to the fertility specialist and they will talk through your options as there may be other things they can do. Don't lose hope

He had a low sperm count about 15 years, it was virtually zero apparently then 7 years later it "magically" came back and the doctors couldn't really explain it.

I'll take a look at that clinic, thanks

Thanks, I am going to buy him some maca and probably zinc then see what the doctor says next week, it just seems ages away

It goes really quickly i promise you. Don't give up trying though chick as it can still happen - i kinda gave up hope a bit after DH's diagnosis but we carried on TTC - we are having a bit of time out at the mo as i have to lose a few pounds before my IVF so i'm trying to focus on that!

Don't give up hope. It takes about 3 months to make a new lot of sperm. My dh was diagnosed with low morphology (which I presume is the same as the abnormality) and low vitality. He was due his 2nd SA this Friday, but I got my BFP last weekend. He took zinc this month so that has helped.

Good luck hun

Sorry to hear about the SA

Kirstin · Jan 9th, 2009, 16:29 PM

Thanks

Well he was supposed to have his appointment today but the doctor was running 2 hours late so because he had to go back to work he had to cancel it and the only one he could get was next Friday so another 9 days to wait

The maca and zinc I ordered still haven't arrived either
