Re: Low sperm count!!!
I dont knoww SC...it seems to me that a tenfold increase cannot be explained by "averages". I guess the doc is right in a way, to point them towards IVF because even with the increase the count is still way too low. Most patients I think just want to get on with trying for pregnancy.
Maybe the guy should tell his doc that at this point, he wants to find out more about why his count is low rather than go for IVF. If his doc is still uncooperative maybe its time to switch to a different doc. Theres a link earlier in this thread about possible causes of low count and whether they can be corrected...maybe show him that so he can see exactly what kinds of things a good doc will look for.
All the best to them no matter how they approach it. Will keep them in prayers.
