Hi All,
I'm 23 yrs old and very new to this. I've been with my boyfriend for 5 yrs. been trying to conceive for 3 1/2. I got pg and m/c on aug 13th found out that my bf had low sperm count. i dont know any of the abbreviations or anything my ? is where do i go from here i hear everyone talking about ovualtion days do you think it's just him or could it be me although he did get me pregnant? any imput would be gladly apprecitated. Do you think i should continue trying or go to fertility specialist im so eager to have a baby.

I would speak to your regular gynecologist about getting a complete fertility workup, telling them that your BF has low sperm count. There are some things that he can do to try to improve the sperm count, certain vitamins (zinc, vitamin c, and others I think) avoid hot tubs, heavy drinking, etc. But they say it takes almost 3 months for any improvment because thats how long it take for completely new sperm to be made. They should probably check you out too since alot of fertility problems are related to both male and female. I don't know if you have been charting or anything, but that it a good way to check your cycles out yourself. Go to www.fertilityfriend.com and read their fertility handbook, its great! You can sign up for free online charting too. Then you can see if you are ovulating regularly, if your luteal phase is adequate, etc.
I hope this helps. I think if you have been trying for over 3 years, its definitely time to seek assistance! Good Luck!

Are your cycles usually regular? Is so, how many days? Do you know when you ovulate each month?
I would call to get a complete work up and let them know that you have been trying for over three years, but until you exhaust all methods such as charting and such, I'm not sure they'll do anything right away. Maybe with your BF though because he already knows he has a low sperm count.
Good luck to you.
