At home SA Kit
Has anyone's DH done an at home sperm analysis kit? If so which one? What were the results? Are they accurate? I am in my 9th month TTC and I had an HSG done last month and found out I had blocked tubes but supposedly they were able to open the left. I took clomid this past cycle but everyone was sick so I didn't feel like we even had a good chance. DH thinks he is fine, which he very well may be and he doesn't want to go to an office and have it done. So if I am not preggo I was wondering if I should get one to make sure there are no other issues before taking clomid again.

Why wouldn't you first have a dye test to see if your tubes are open!?
The SA at the clinic is not that expensive. If go with the real test but I'd start back with you first since the obvious issue of blocked tubes may not be corrected! Even if it is, if only one tube is open, you may only have a chance every other month.Mom to

I already had the dye test done (HSG) which cost me $1000 and they were able to open the left tube. It is not a financial issue with DH it is an annoying male ego issue. We have 2 boys and he thinks all is fine with him of course.

personally I would do it in a heartbeat. I even thought of suggesting it to you. There has been a half-dozen times on here where a swayer I was working with went on and on tweaking this and that only to find out it was DH all along.

I would do the home test and if it is questionable then make him go do a real one.
Are you being monitored on clomid to see where the follicles are, etc?Mom to

Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
