Infertility- inguinal hernia

My OH had a hernia operation as a baby, and as a result of this now has a low sperm count. For about 3 years now we've been having unprotected sex but nothing has ever come of it.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation and managed to conceive? Is it something that can be corrected? No amount of googling seems to bring up anything, and in the process of switching doctors surgeries so getting an appointment anytime soon is near impossible. We've accepted there's probably a high chance we won't be able to have children unless we go down the IVF route etc but just thought I'd ask on here first.

Have you has the initial investigations? You mention your OH's sperm, so I assume he's had a sperm analysis. Have you had day 3 and day 21 bloods and an ultrasound. If not it sounds like that would be the next step.

Have you been tested? How long do you think it's going to be until they give you an appointment?
