Husband with high white blood cell count in his semen
August 01, 2008
My husband just had a semen annalysis done. the numbers came back very low, and when we went to meet whis urologist, he told us that it was probably b\c the test detected an increase in white blood cells.He gave my husband an antibiotic to take, to kill the infection. He then said this should help the sperm not die as quickly. My question is I am wondering if after he is done with antibiotic if that really will help us be able to conceive. It has been 9 months of trying. Also, is is possible that he has always had this high WBC and that is the reason we have not coceived? We are young, fit, don't drink, smoke and I have been tracking my ovulation.

Some men do carry asymptomatic infections (never know they have them) and can lead to this...His semen analysis will have to be rechecked several months later after treatment...
If levels are then normal, then ttc normally can be tried, otherwise you will need to visit an RE to help you get pregnant
