Hi, I’m not an expert but I think these are a bit on the low side. Especially the count, volume and morphology. Your partner should speak to a specialist to see if he can identify a cause. And he should take a fertility supplement like Proxeed or Proceive if he isn’t already.

Here is a guide on Reddit that talks through what results mean https://www.reddit.com/r/maleinfertility/s/RzoesvYIm1

Looks like the total volume was low, and so the count was low.

So it looks low, but unfortunately as me and my partner have just found out, they won’t give NHS funding for IVF if the sperm count is over 5 million per ml. I personally don’t think that’s fair when it’s so close to the lower end. For reference my partners density is 10.6 million per ml and they have refused funding. We’re trying to push back as he has varicocele and it’s pretty apparent that that’s the reason we haven’t conceived in 13 months but they’re saying unless my tests come back low, that we’ll have to try for 3 years 😭… for reference this is in Surrey, England. I know it varies depending on location. X

ah I’m sorry. Will they not even treat the varicocele? Is that something you could do separately. I followed a woman’s TTC journey on TikTok and she got pregnant with her partner having 6mil. Obvs as you know chances are lower but not impossible, which is maybe why they want you to try for longer. As you say though it’s totally not fair!

well he found out about his varicocele nearly 20 years ago and had a coil put in. In theory we’d expect that coil to help but his count is still low. He was 19 at the time and it was well before we met, so he never thought it would be an issue. We’ve asked to be referred to urology but they’ve said they won’t do that unless his count was lower than 5million. But they have agreed to send him for a scan to see if he has any more/ to see if there is any issue with his coil. So at least that’s something.
Totally agree that there is a possibility but the odds are against us with such low sperm…the issue is that it’s not impossible to conceive, it’s just unlikely… it’s just hard for us as he’s close to 40 now and whilst I’m only 33/ nearly 34, we don’t want to wait another 2 years and then have to go through the whole waiting process if it doesn’t work. It’s just so hard isn’t it xx

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️
