What are the options if sperm is the issue?

DH is on sertraline and I’ve read reports that this can slow down sperm mobility. This works well for him and we don’t want to change this. From what I’ve read all the other SSRI antidepressants can cause a similar thing anyway so no point just changing to another that might not work anyway.

what happens if this is the issue? Are there treatments suggested or is it IVF or would he just have to come off it?

Are you waiting to have a basic semen analysis? If mobility isn’t great, or there are issues such as low sperm count, then ICSI (injecting sperm into egg) can be used as part of IVF.
