Question 1

i suffered 2 miscarriages in the last yr have 2 kds im 34 having pco & my husband have abnormalities in the sperms just 1% r good can that lead miscar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, two factors : it appears that you have two risk factors:1- PCO ( polycyctic ovaries) which create harmonal imbalance and ovulation problems. Factor:2- your husband has only 1% normal sperms, which is very low. He might have genetic basis of this problem.  Hence all these issues need further investigations.

Question 2

are the sperm used for conventional ivf and icsi scanned for chromosome abnormalities first?

Accepted Answer

No: No. They only do preimplantation genetic testing on the fertilized embryo. The problem is the process of testing a single sperm to look for abnormalities destroys that sperm. So once you know that the sperm was normal, you can no longer use it.

Question 3

husban sperm count 60 sperm motility 90 normal form 9%elongted 2% small absent acrosomes 5% other abnormalities 84%good for intra uterine insemitation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes good for iui, but if that is his consistent result (on two tests), and the cervix is normal and you are not using Clomid (clomiphene) as a stimulation drug for fertility treatment, there is no good evidence that IUI actually increases pregnancy rates.  Iui became popular as a treatment to balance the negative effect of Clomid (clomiphene) on the cervical mucous.  Now with newer drugs not so necessary.  Good luck.

Question 4

my hubby is on day 3 (of 10) of taking cipro for a kidney infection & i'm going to be ovulating soon. will the cipro cause abnormalities in his sperm?

Accepted Answer

No: It will have no effect on his sperm.

Question 5

very little sperm?

Accepted Answer

Need testing: If you low sperm count, you need an evaluation to determine the cause. It may be a hormonal problem, obstruction, or failure of the testicles to make sperm. Routine blood tests will help identify the cause.

Question 6

how does sperm die?

Accepted Answer

Sperm death: Well, this is got to be one of the more unusual questions here. I'm wondering in what context you want to know. Sperm, like any living tissue requires some sort of "food or energy" to survive. We also have to remain in some form of solution and not dry out. There are formulas and chemicals that can kill sperm. Here's something you can read.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spermicide.

Question 7

do women sperm out?

Accepted Answer

Squirting ?: No there are no sperm or eggs when this occurs.

Question 8

how is sperm counted?

Accepted Answer

Under microscopy.: A semen sample is first prepared for microscopic analysis and then loaded into a chamber called a hemocytometer. Variations of this device are also used for blood cell counts. The device has a grid, and the number of spermatozoa in each grid is counted. Based on these counts, the total number of sperm can be calculated.

Question 9

is thick sperm normal?

Accepted Answer

DEPENDS: On how often that man has been ejaculating lately. It tends to thin out a bit the more frequently it comes out.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Lifestyle : Seek urological evaluation. No alcohol.  No recreational drugs. Boxer shorts. No steroids. Review any prescription meds with the doctor. On line there's a supplement called proxeed which may help.
