Low sperm count for DH??

jillifer211 · 03-29-2006, 05:43 AM

my husbands brother had problems getting his wife pregnant b/c of a low sperm count. i've heard that this is possible a genetic thing, meaning my DH could be effected by this. adding that to my new diagnosis of PCOS, how low are my chances of actually conceiving at all??????

help! i'm getting more and more discouraged.....

I don't know anything about low sperm count. We didn't have that issue. You will probably get more responses to your question if you post it in the Trying to Conceive secion, though. Good luck.

Sperm count is genetic. My husbands Dad is low and we knew my husband was low when we concieved our daughter. It has gotten even lower since then so we are proceeding wit IUI's using a donor. I have PCOS and with his count, the donor option seems to give us our best chance. We aren't starting that until May though.
