My partner has undertaken 2 SA's which his doctor said showed low counts although never specified numbers. He has since changed his doctors and they have given him figures. It appears his numbers are 0.1 which his doctor said is very low but shows sperm so my partner is therefore producing it. He also said that it has good morphology (not sure if thats the right word but good movement) so has said it is still possible to conceive naturally although not likely. The doctor was quick to talk about donor sperm and IVF but I spoke to him about seeing if theres a possible blockage which could be restricting how much is ejaculated which he has now refeered him for tests for. What would you have done if you were the family doctor in this case? Would you go straight to IVF or would you carry out more tests? It is unknown if my partner had mumps as a child but he did have chlamydia from an ex partner - could this be a problem? We can not ask his parents about mumps as we have not told anyone we are trying</div> <p><a href="/profile/cj" title="CJ"><img alt="Woman_5" src="/images/avatar/thumb/woman_5.gif?1227336393" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/cj">CJ</a> </p> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:16:53 -0500 low count donor ivf more investigations http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/dr-q-low-countqm http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/dr-q-low-countqm
