INFERTILITY LINE

The need for infertility testing needs to involve both the male and female. In other words, don't assume the female is the one who is having fertility issues.

This is a mistake which is all too common and in recent years, education directed to male infertility testing has gathered momentum.

Home testing kits are available for both men and women. Men with low sperm counts are a real issue in the world of infertility and it's important to consider all options when trying to find an underlying cause for fertility problems.

Male Infertility

There are many reasons which could contribute to a low sperm count in men. Substance abuse and stress are two of the more common causes. Home testing is not a daunting thing at all. You can have your result in just several minutes. This procedure is painless and involves screening the sperm for quantity, quality and lifespan of the sperm.

Essentially, testing is simply a way of finding the level of concentration of the sperm in the male semen. This method of infertility testing will measure the sperm as being above or below the cut-off of twenty million sperm cells per milliliter.

It may require several tests but if the majority indicate the sperm count as being less than twenty million cells per milliliter, this may be an indication that the male has fertility issues.

Once you have established this then it's time to visit your doctor. In many cases, low sperm count issues could be turned around quickly depending on the issues causing it. On the other hand, if testing reveals no abnormalities then you have eliminated one possible source of fertility problems.

Female Infertility

Once the male has undergone testing and has met all the requirements to determine there are no fertility problems, then it's time concentrate on the female.

Again, home infertility testing methods are available but before you begin, it may be beneficial to visit your doctor and discuss your concerns with them. To assume after only several months of trying to conceive that you are infertile is premature.

History shows despite the mental trauma couples facing these issues go through, in most cases, they are resolved with a happy ending.
