    1. Hi, my partner has been told in the past he has a low sperm count. But this was when he was with his ex wife. We want to start trying for a baby and he has just told me this, so obviously I´m a bit upset and worried we won´t get pregnant. Is there anything we can do? Should we go for IVF? We work in NYC so looking for clinics we can manage to get to around our shedules. Thanks

      • Hi Katherine,

        If your partner has had infertility issues in the past then it is a good idea to consult a clinic for some fertility testing as your start your journey to parenthood. You can start trying to conceive, but maybe not wait for a year of trying before getting tested, when you already know there could be a problem.

        Sperm analyses are generally repeated after the first results show abnormal values, and they can sometimes improve with positive lifestyle changes, so it is worth getting a sperm anaylsis done to see what the situation is now. I leave you with a link for an article on the sperminogram analysis which may provide you with useful information: What is a basic semen analysis?

        I hope this helps and wish you the best.
