Can sperm counts drastically increase?
by twinboys04, Feb 16, 2008 12:48AM
My DH and I did IVF and have beautiful twin boys. We would love to have another child, but have reservations with IVF again. My husband has been around chemicals (golf course) consistently for at least 17 years. He also had been working a course that had been created after it was "cleaned up" by the federal government since it had previously been a hazardous waste dump. He had extremely low sperm count, motility, and morphology when we were evaluated for IVF. At the time of retrieval/fertilization, the embryologist was puzzled at the increase in my DH's numbers- from 2 to 35. He asked if he was a welder, etc. The interesting fact is that my DH had been away from the golf course for 3 months. We saw a urologist who specializes in male infertility, and he said there was no way to pinpoint the cause of the low counts.
Has anyone heard of an increase of this significance?
