My DP and I have been Ttc for 16 months now with no joy. I'm 35, he's 36. I was diagnosed with PCOS about ten years ago, but since my coil was removed (16 months ago!) my periods have been like clockwork for the first time in my life.
I'm ovulating, and all blood tests done are normal (I've no idea what most of them were). I have a high BMI which I'm working on, but am mostly healthy bar migraine (lifelong) and a shoulder injury.
My DP had undescended testicles as a very premature baby. Back in the early 80's - as far as I can make out - the clinical guidance seems to have been not to operate until age 2-3. He had one surgery aged 2.5, another aged 7 and a re-do on one testicle aged about 9. We don't know the full details, and would like to get them.
My GP's face dropped when we told her this, and it was made clear that this could be catastrophic for his fertility.
2 semen samples later, and several months of massive lifestyle changes for him (gave up smoking, no booze - both were being done to excess), the best result is:
Nil A (motile sperm)
16% (non progressive)
15% C (immotile)
69% D (immotile)
3.8 10^6/ml
Abnormal liquefaction
Abnormal agglutination
If I'm honest, we don't fully understand what all this means. The GP has referred us both to the local fertility clinic.
Has anyone else experienced male infertility following orchidopexy surgery?
Anyone who can translate the figures if I put up the full results?
Any advice on how to access his hospital records about his operations?
