Sperm test results...... Partner with a chronic illness, is there any hope??

[Snoopy1976]

I really need some advice. My partner and I have a 2 year old daughter, we have been trying for a second child for over a year, my partner was diagnosed with a chronic illness (Behcets) back in January, he was put on medication including colchicine.....this was an error by his consultant, as he knew we were trying but didn't check the contraindications, and we now know it can cause fertility issues, although they should be rectifiable.
We have just received my partners test results and assume they are not good??

Semen sample volume 1.9ml
Semen ph 8
Semen liquefaction Incomplete after 2 hours
Sperm morphology 3%
Spermatozoa 3 10*6ml
Days abstinence 3 days
Total sperm number 6 10^6
Sperm motility 24%
Progressive motility 6%

Please help, any advise will be greatly appreciated.

We are talking to his doctors and they are going to do all they can to help. I have trawled the internet and read every report I can get my hands on, with regards to vitamins and herbal remedies, we have purchased what looks good and feel slightly more in control. Thank you for replying to me, it was a tough week.

infertility. Normal findings vary from one laboratory to the other.
