Husbands Sperm Count

August 27, 2008

My hubby had a vasectomy reversal back in December 2007.Everymonth we have had a SA done to see if his sperm is returning and every month it has gotten better and better.Last month we did our first IUI and his sperm count was at 92million with great morph/motility.This month when we went for our second IUI his sperm count was only 9 million with poor morph/motility.We did not abstain last month or this month but have had more intercourse this month then last before the count was done.I am worried about blockage, do you think it could be blockage or just too much sex before the count was done??Thank you so much!

Thats what I thought, that we should abstain before a count.But the nurse told us not too abstain because his sperm count had always been better when we didnt, she said it may be that his body had built up antibodies and killed them off faster when they were built up.So I was in shock when it dropped so much this month.Im really afraid of blockage from the reversal.Hoping we just need to abstain.:)

Hi Nikki and Welcome!

That is a big drop after having many normal values...which makes me believe one of two things...

1. laboratory error of misreading the sperm

2. Simply a bad month (happens) where an infection one doesn't usually know about wipes out a good proportion of sperm..

recheck it again in a couple of months, and most likely it's going to be ok..

Good luck, and keep us posted

Thank you Dr.Q.I really hope that it was one of the two and he doesnt need a vas reversal again.
