Do another one #
Don't panic just yet. Sperm production changes from week to week and is highly sensitive to many factors. What's more, there's a big difference between being slightly hypofertile and being sterile, which is very rare.
For the vast majority of people, having a few results below the norm simply means that the time to have a child will be a little longer than the norm, which is 12 months to induce fertilization.
No conclusions can be drawn from a single examination. At the very least, a second test should be carried out at 2 to 3-month intervals, with a slight modification to lifestyle habits.
Analysis of the two spermograms is the only way to determine the degree of hypofertility, or not. It is very common for the second spermogram to be completely normal.
Can I start contraception? #
Right now, this method excludes people who have low fertility, even by only one measure. This is precautionary, since no clinical trials have been carried out on people with this situation. So we can't offer the method as a first choice for treatment.
But if the second spermogram confirms that there are no signs of hypofertility, then you can go ahead with the procedure.
If the second is not good, then you need to contact your doctor and try to do an informed decision based on your situation and your benefit-risk assesment. Given the lack of scientific knowledge on this precise point, this decision cannot be taken alone.
