Trouble TTC
Sperm Antibodies
Hello.
My name is Kristina. I am 29 and my husband (Sean, 33) have been trying to conceive for about a year now. We went through all the tests and it turns out that my husband has the antibodies on his sperm that hinder the sperm from swimming through my mucus, etc. We went through one insemination that did not work and I will be going again at the end of this month.
Is anyone else going through this or has gone through it?

Hi. I can't offer any advice, but I do have a question for you:
What diagnostic test was it that showed YH's sperm had antobodies?
They did a blood test on me and semen analysis on him. It is considered infertility at 40% and he is at 56%. And the antibodies can be on the head and/or tail. He has it on the mid section and tail which is somewhat better because it affects mobility versus actually getting INSIDE the egg.
This is usually caused by surgery or injury. In his case, it was surgery when he was a baby.
