Husband sprem analysis

thank u so much for ur response! we have had a couple of arguments about it. he keeps saying just give me time. I am trying to be patient. I have heard of places that allow u to bring in the sperm from home. I was wondering how that worked.

Hi Spillman and it is very very very important because male infertility can count up to 40% of US couples having issues with ttc. So what I am saying both couples can have issues with ttc and that is very common now. With him taking steroids could cause issues with his sperm count and his overall health. Plus there are other issues that needs to be look at with male infertility. All of this is produced in the brain just like a woman. Steroids does cause infertility in men. If he did take a steroids I would get his sperm check, blood work done on his FSH level and testorne (sp) levels check. If not for ttc but just for health reasons.

Just to let you know we have a male factor with us and we are trying to get it resolved because his situation could lead to cancer.

Wish you luck and keep us posted!!!!

has anyone tried a semen test from the drug store or on line. do they work or is a waste of time?

There is a test out there called Fertel. Try using the search feature in the site using the keyword Fertel, a bunch of posts from users and also Dr Q comes up, heres a sample...

thank u so much. u r so awesome and u have so much knowledge. you rock

as far as i know that test only covers the sperm count not the morphology which is a big issue.

My hubby didnt want to go either and the way i got him to go is by telling him the doc said we had do and that i knew there was nothing wrong with him but it was just somthing we had to do. turns out he has the issue

Oh wow. I wish that would work with my husband. He went to first appt with me and the doctor said that he could if he wanted to. I have PCOS so he knows that the main issue is me... I will see what I can do to get him to go.

if anything can work on a man its tears.... gotta bust out the tears and he will go. Men dont know what to do when you cry so they agree to just about anything - LOL!

Yes I tried that two months ago. He said he would work on it. I was going to have to give him time. He says taht it makes him uncomfortable. I told him yes I love going to the dock and putting my legs up in the air. He did not think that was a bit funny. :) I did... lol. I am hoping that I am prego this month DPO8 if not i hope he realizes that he has to go do it. We will see what happens. Thank you for all of your help.

thats funny cuz my hubby came with me for one of the ulrtasounds and saw what i have been going thru for the past 4 or 5 months and he was like "yeah, thats not the most comfy position to be in, is it" its a little embarrassing so if you gotta go watch some porn in a room and jizz in a cup then get to it buddy! lol!

I think i may have him talked into going. We will see I will keep everyone posted./

yeah! great news!!

FYI... He did it... I am so happy that he finally did it.

thats wonderful news!!
