Should we get another sperm count done?

My husband had one done about 4 years ago, and the numbers were fine.  We've been trying for 7 months now with femara, nothing so far.  I'm scheduled to get a HSG test next month.  I have PCOS.  I'm wondering if maybe we should get another sperm test done, just in case?  Anyone ever had their husband do more than one?
We're expecting baby Jameson!

    If it's been 4 years I would absolutely have another one done. Lots can change in a couple of months so after 4 years my vote would be yes.

    Thanks - I'm not sure how often our insurance (military) covers it, so I'll have to find out at my next appt.  Actually.... I'll call instead!

    Definitely get another one.  My husband had one 4 years ago and then 4 more in the past year.

    I talked to him about it when he got home and he said sure! Not sure if I have to contact my OB office, or if he has to make an appt with his PCP.
