My husband was diagnosed with Teratozoospermia today. He has to make an appointment with the urologist. Can anyone with experience with this tell me what to expect or what they might do next? We never expected anything to be wrong with him. We always just assumed it was me.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. You’re not alone. My DH doesn’t have that so much but his issue is antibodies that affect his motility. It dropped his count down to less than a million moving sperm. Sperm issues come in a few varieties. Low count in general, low motility - they don’t move much or move in circles and morphology - so it’s their shape that makes them hard to penetrate the egg. IVF would still be an option if you elect to do ICSI. Good luck and I hope it will all work out!
@cams, unfortunately no! I’m going to call them later this evening and see if they can tell me. If it’s moderate or severe we may have to look into donor because there is no way we would be able to afford that with our insurance covering little to nothing right now. Thanks for the help!
I’ve never heard of this so I looked it up. Looks like with mild and under 35 they can suggest artificial insemination. Moderate and under 35, IVF. Severe cases call for something else but I didn’t understand it. Did they tell you which tier he falls under?
