[quote=Anonymous]not so much a question but sharing of info.  I wish the Dr had acutally asked my husband about meds he was on. They did NOT do this and its astounding.  My husband has been on testoterone (prescibed by a urologist for very very low testosterone level). I happened to mention this when on the second IUI attempt his sperm count had dropped about 15 million from the previous month and about 20 million from the one 5 months before that.   Immediately the dr said stop all testosterone cold turkey. It has the biggest impact on sperm count of any drug.  He also said if they ever come up with a male birth control pill it would be testoterone based! (its counter intuitive cause on one hand, the test makes a man want sex a lot more but it also makes him more infertile).  It really pissed me off (beginning of a long line of miscommunication at CFA).  His sperm count has gone back up in the last three months as we prepare for our first IVF.   My advice to you, volunteer everything even if you think they don't want to hear it. Its unbelievable what a dr or nurse forgets to bring up.[/quote]
