Home testing for your DH?

[Cozie]

After yet another month TTC since December 2008 one pregnancy but mc at 14 weeks I'm starting to wonder what's up?

Perhaps the last conception was a 'one off' and his swimmer count or their motility is low, I say him as I know i test my ovulation and chart by bbt, also has scans with bupa to check lining and tubes.

I have also taken up yoga and acupuncture to give it our best chances so I'm thinking as much as a man is protective of his men it's about time his half of this game was scrutinised!

Has anyone tried home testing kits, dh is willing provide as sample surprisingly !

Are they fool proof and will they give us an accurate insight, please share your knowledge, recommendation and experiences,

As I understand it the home tests for men will tell you if there is/are sperm present but don't tell you how well they are swimming - which is a vital part of what you need to know unfortunately! I wouldn't recommend them, you need a test at a reliable lab that will then interpret the results for you.

Thanks Hhunter, shame they are lots more pennies, they boast to count though so that's half that matters? X

Get yourself and him to the GP. It is not worth messing about with home testing. He has to be tested first as it is quick and easy. Then you, which is a bit more complicated.

You have been trying quite long enough to warrant tests. We did and the subsequent treatments took several years more.

Nhs won't touch us until June as that was when we mc. Been with bupa fir tests and I given all clear but were back in June to see about DH but she said she wasn't expecting us to keep the appointment, meaning luck will be on our side, so dh will be looked into then.

May start with him on the proxeed plus!!
