Hello,
This is my first post here.
I've been trying to figure out my problem for the past 3-4 months. I'm still puzzled and need some help and insight from other people who experienced something similar.
Well, I have a very low sperm count - like 170.000 sperms in 1 milliliter or about 1 million in a complete ejaculate. All other semen analysis are ok!
I live a healthy life and I have visited several urologists and one endocrinologist.
My testicles have normal morphology, I don't have any varicocele, hydrocele, inflammation or other abnormalities. They also performed ultrasound exam - everything ok.
I tested FSH, LH, prolactin and testosterone. They are all ok, except that FSH is just above the minimal referent value.
FSH: 1,6 (ref. 1,5 - 12)
LH: 7,6 (ref 4 - 14,2)
Testosterone: 26,7 (ref. 9,9 - 27,8)
As you see, my hormones seem ok.
However, doctor prescribed a light clompihpene therapy, as she thinks that a slight FSH boost could produce more sperms... but it's all empiric... I really don't know where else to go and what else to check?!
What do you girls & guys think? Did anyone here had slightly _lower_ FSH and very low sperm count?
Thanks!
