Hi,
I was just wondering if someone could help me with a few questions I have about IVF etc.
We have had our second sperm analysis today with slower count than our original analysis (3.8 3 months ago- now 0.4). There are no problem with the other parameters of the analysis. We are obviously a bit shocked. We had made some lifestyle changes and were taking Chinese medication which is supposed to be very effective.
Anyway - our next step is to go get some help and some formal tests. I was wondering if I need a referral for the IVF clinics or I can just call up and make an appointment myself. Will they allow us 'self refer'? Reading a bit about our situation I am thinking that ICSi would be our only choice if we can not improve the sperm count. We have technically only been trying for 8 months and went for the analysis by chance. Will this effect the clinics offering us IVF?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Aisling
