Hey Faye

How many SA's has your DH had?
Did the GP say if there was room for possible improvement?

Don't rule out using his just yet as if they can find 1 for IVF then they will use it hun!

Is there anything he can do to help his sperm count? Diet, exercise? Sorry if that is a silly question...

 

[faye38]

thanks girls for answering he has only had one sperm test done but and the gp is refering us to a fertility doctor but i have read thay dont really help you on the nhs if your over 35 im 38 and his 45 my biological clock is ticking to i surrpose im begining to panick and thinking of other options my dh is very healthy dont smoke or drink and has allways taken vvitamins, i think its his job over the years that has done somthing to his sperm he is a chef and has allways been a cyclist so not much luck going for us huh

Oh sorry hun - they do say long distance cycling isn't great and neither is heat.

What about getting him to take Maca? that is meant to improve count/motility/morphology? Also 1000mg of vit c and zinc are good for All clinics will recommend 2 tests to get an accurate account and then 2 tests after the changes have been made 6 weeks later.

You might be surprised what the FS can offer you chick. There might be other options and with ICSI if they can find 1 they can do the necessary.

Also, they're a bit expensive but the Zita West male fertility supplements are really good - it's a multi vit and includes L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, Lysine, Zinc, Selenium which are all supposed to be good for sperm. It also includes a few other vits. As well as all this, my OH takes Tribulus Terrestris which is supposed to help and he takes a vitamin B-Complex and Vitamin C - oh and Flaxseed Oil too.

All of these are supposed to help and would be worth a try.

My OH had a borderline sperm count with slightly low motility and is being re-tested next week so I'll let you know if there's been any improvement.

Good luck

One thing i would say hun is get him on the pills now as it takes 3 months to see a realistic change so by the time you get your appt at the FS, things could definitely be looking up!

Hi Faye, I would have the DH stop cycling for 3 months and redo test. But if you feel you can't wait, see a specialist to see what they can do for you both.

I think you should get your DH to try maca. If that doesn't work ICSI probably will. I'm not sure about the age restrictions - something tells me that the local trusts make up their own rules anyway.

 

[faye38]

thanks girls you have all been so helpfull and my dh has read the post and feel a bit more postive now bless

you always have to make a second test to be sure of the result. But you have to analys all the parameter of the diag. You could find good informations à this link :
