Lightbulb new test to do...

Hello,

me and my husband have been trying for over 3 years.
I have done all the tests possible and spend so much on it.
My husband did a spermogram and everything was ok...
we were so desesperate to know what was going on!

Then a friend who live in montreal told me about this new test for male. It is about a special protein on the surface of the sperm, the P34H protein. It has been proved that if the sperm lack this protein, it cannot bind to the oocyte.
this is a simple test...not very known yet in the US, but well known in Canada.

Ask your doctor at your fertility clinic or your Urologist about the P34H test. The company who do that is called Immucon.

In our case, that was it! the results came back negative, my husband is lacking P34H.
So now we know! and we know what to do next...IVF wuth ICSI...the only way so that the sperm can penetrate the egg!

Try it you have nothing to loose...

Hmmmm... that's an interesting post about the P34H protein. I wonder why that's not well-known here in the US? Thanks for passing along that info because it's something I'll relate to friends of mine who are dealing with infertility now.

Does anyone know if you can get tested for this protein in their dr's office? Is it a blood test, semen test, what?

Hello einstein,

That's a semen test. you can do it in your fertility clinic, they prepare your sperm and then send it to the lab who do that. You have the results in 2 weeks max.
