Discussion Only 2 options
M23 F21 My count is about 400k/ml with 25% motility. Everything so far has checked out so they said the only options are IVF (we have no insurance) or a biopsy of the testicle to try and find “one of 6 things that could be causing it”. I was told I’d be out of work for about a week and it would require about 6-9 months of monitoring with different medications to see if we can fix whatever it is causing it. Has anyone else had this done? I’m not sure what I was expecting but definitely thought there would be other options

Mine was the first semen analysis was semen volume 1ml, sperm count 13 million per/ml, motility 17 percent, morphology 3 percent. Semen did not liquified within 30 minutes. Total sperm per ejaculate is 13 million. Went for the second semen analysis. In three weeks. Semen Volume was 0.5ml, sperm count per/ml is 7 million, motility is 28 percent, morphology 3 percent. Liquified in 30 minutes. Blood work was done FSH = 26. LH=9.8. Total Testosterone was normal high. Free testosterone was normal. Doctor said there is nothing he can do in my case. I and my partner is planning on going for ivf. Partner has irregular periods
