      <title>Just curious what 'treatments' mean in this situation....</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;So My fiance and I where talking today about all the doctors appts we've had for his sperm issue and it occured to us that we have forgotten to ask the doctors (urologist and hormorne specialist) what type of possible treatments they are talking about when they say "we may be able to treat this so that ivf wont be needed". We see the urologist this wednesday so will ask him then (its already written down in our note book to ask) but where jst curious as to anyones elses experience with this time of thing. He is also going to see a ANDROLOGIST next month and looks like they will be more then likely doing a biopsy in the nxt few months to check for sperm production etc.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Following are his latest test results...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;SEMAN ANALYSIS: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*this sampal was 1mL which is still a low volume &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*Sperm count is DOWN from 30million to 22million *Normal forms is UP from 17% to 23% (woohoo improvement)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*Active sperm is UP from 0% to drum role please....20% (still low but doc says is a good sign)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*sluggish sperm remains the same at 20%&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*Non-motile is DOWN from 80% to now 60%&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;SPERM ANTIBODIES:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Negative to both IgG &amp; IgA &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;THYROID:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*TSH Is normal @ 0.88&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*Folate red cell is normal @ 1256&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*Vitamin B12 is normal @ 622&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;LH ~ is slightly high @ 10.20, the recommanded range is 2.0-10.0&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Prolatin ~ is normal @ 128&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;FSH ~ is still really high @ 18.2, the recommanded range is 1.5-13.0&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;His Pelvic CT scan was all normal too&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He has also had a testicular u/s which showed his right testi to only be 2.6ml compared to his left one which is 6.6ml. We have also found out that he had surgery as a child for an undesented(sp??) right testi&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Any opinions would be greatly appriciated. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Also I have bad endo and pcos (usually only o whn on clomid) so with his sperm issue added to that is it jst all fantasy to believe that even if they can treat his problem that we wont need ivf????&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
