sperm genetics

If a semen analysis comes back excellent, could there still be genetic issues within the sperm to cause infertility?


This discussion is related to my seman analysis.

Would that be a simple blood test, or have you heard of something else more advanced?

SA only checks for sperm count, motility, morphology, etc.  It is not a genetic test.  If you suspect genetics, your dh can test separately for that.
Good luck to you!!
