in the same boat
Hello there, I am new to all of this too and don't know what all these abreveations mean. I guess DH means husband!?
Anyways, my husband got a 5 on his sperm count. Dr. said a 20 was normal. When I dropped off the analysis I read instructions that he was supposed to abstain from sex for at least 1-2 days. We had sex both days prior to his dropping off his semen. Doctor never gave me any instructions!
So , the doctor said to retest since we did not abstain before we gave the sample of semen. My question is...if we are having sex every day around ovulation then his sperm count is low no matter what...
So if that is the case what are our options. I am looking good (tubes, FHS all great)...he has not had a blood test...is he supposed to?
I am 36 and he is 40. Would insemination work?...what is " IVF/ICSI and a TESE?" I have heard of IVF but i suppose that is very pricey and we don't have a lot of money.
Thanks , any advice would be helpful.
Jen
