Sperm count of 8000 is there any hope?

[Melts]

After almost two years of trying we decided it was time to get checked out. Just yesterday we found out my husband testes are not functioning properly partly due to high fsh. He had count of 8000.
I don't even know what to do right now. I feel like this is not even real but at the same time I know this probably means life without kids. I hate saying that. I never thought we would have this problem. From the begging I had an awful feeling that we were never going to have kids but I kept hoping if that was the case that it was my problem because then there would be more hope.

Hi dear dont lose hope, Does your DH smoke if he does tell him to quit. Also tell him to stop drinking for sometime and dont take bath with hot water. There are alot of supplements available. Do Check fertailaid for men. I've heard really good reviews about it.
Also talk to a fertility specialist im sure he will give you a better insight on how to increase his sperm count.

I have a friend who I met off of this site, her DH had his sperm tested and they were told they only had a 2.5% of conceiving naturally. A month before they were going to start IUI, she got her BFP! So there is hope. Good luck!

Thank you. Neither of us smoke or drink and hubby hates hot water and baths. he cannot stand being in the shower more than a couple mins. We are so young. We have been trying really hard for the past two years and have done everything i can think of besides fertility treatments. This has been so hard. I think we are just done trying and i guess we will see if it ever happens. I don't want to lose hope but i have to in order to get on with my life. I don't understand why this has to happen to people like us who want children more than anything and would love and care for them so well and then drunks and drugatics can get pregnant because of one accident and they will not love or care for their children the way all of us who want them would.

Hugs... I've heard good things about zinc and maca for sperm count and preseed to help the little swimmers on their way. I hope you get your bfp. remember, it only takes one!

my DH was tested a few years ago and was told he had a low sperm count. He was told to take Vitamin C and Zinc and retest. On retest he was within normal range and just a couple months ago he was tested again by a fertility doc and he's still in normal range. S

Now that you know what the issue is, I'd say try a little longer before throwing in the towel. I know that's just my opinion, but it can't hurt. Talk to your doctor and see what he says about certain supplements. And talk to the ladies here, a lot of them have tons of experience with this.

So sorry sweetie!! My OH still hasn't got tested and we've been NTNP for almost 3 years and I'm scared to even get him tested

Don't give up hope! We're planning on getting tested in a few months

Did the doctor give y'all any suggestions to help his sperm count??
