Sperm tests

[singa06]

Hi all, firstly my blood test came back :bfn: .
I new it cause all my HPT were, but AF is so late. The latest it has ever been...:confused:

If DH wants a sperm test, is there an extra cost/waiting list?? Should he join private health insurance before he decides to get these tests?

Firstly :hugs: Sorry to hear about your :bfn: ..I hope your OK and you AF comes back soon so you can start TTC again.. I know how frustrating this must be for you..hang in there sweetness.

As for the sperm test.. I cant be of much help sorry..my DH is in the Air Force and he get all his medical for free through work..he had his sprem test done about 3 months ago and I am pretty sure you just need a pathology slip from your GP and then your DH can go do the sample.

Kristi is right, he just needs to go to GP and get a pathology slip. My DH did that last week and has an appointment next week :thumbsup:

I am hoping Dh may be able to be seen earlier as he had an injury while playing sport when he was a teenager. (Therefore he had to have an operation on his testicals)
He cant remember if the docs said it would effect his fertility.

[Kizmet]

could he request his medical records? it might say something in there if it was to affect his fertility?

AS soon as he gets the path slip and "abstains" for 3-7 days (depends on Doc how long that want him to wait) its done, results next day for us. (and BTW, turn out I Ovulated the day B4 we got the results for Chris, so On the results day, I was actually pregnant! not that we found out till several weeks later!) so :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: for you.

hi singa06

I bought an at home sperm test for DH last month, online from lullaby conceptions,

Thanks so much! I will have a look at them.

P.s I read your other post in 35 plus cycles and I might see a naturopath soon as my friend saw one and it really helped her regulate her AF and then fall pregnant.

Hi Singa06,

My DH has now had 2 sperm tests and he is not too impressed about it. Our local GP got him to do the first one through the normal public system and didn't cost a cent just a little off his selfesteem. The second time was through the fertility specialist and we had to pay but can claim most of it back through medicare.

You can buy a 2 pack self sperm test from Lullabyconceptions.com

Try the DIY pack or go to your local GP

Regards,

Jess
