At home sperm analysis, Take 2

Well, I did DH's second test today and it was most definately positive, no question. We are going to go with this for now. I know that I will have to see an RE eventually, and DH will get checked out then. Besides, I am in favor of skipping straight to IVF when we finally take that step. I think it is going to be necessary.

Another poster at IDOB said this about the test:
"I wanted to post my experience with those home sperm test kits. My DH did both tests back in November. Both tests turned dark blue, as in positive for above 20 million count. A week after the test, DH had a professional SA at the hospital and the count came back 2.5 million (in addition to really low motility and 0 morphology). So we got a false positive. I have heard some women on Fertility Friend's Male Infertility board speak of false negatives. So they are extremely unreliable and hard to read also."


So caveat emptor....
