Sperm Viability
Question
My wife gave birth to our son 6 yrs ago after we tried to get her menstruation more regular. However, with severe headaches as a result she stopped taking the pill, and he was created. Over the past 3-4 yrs we have tried for a playmate without success. I have had semen analysis done which showed that there is enough. She recently was started on clomid 50mg 1x/day without success. The doctor prescribed a higher dose now. One thing that concerns me is the sperm count. When we read the results, it showed that the #’s were good for the first few hours. But, after timed intervals the #’s came down below what was I guess normal, and I wonder if that is normal. I know sperm don’t last forever. I plan to see my PCP, and get a referral to see a urologist just to make sure everything is ok on both sides. Have any suggestions on how to enhance the sperm level and livelihood? Don’t drink, smoke.
