If your DH has had a SA

carolinakiwi · November 2009

This is a follow-up question to M+J?s post.

For those whose DH?s have had SA?s ? what month into TTC did he get one?

I thought that they were usually done at the 1 year mark, but it seems like many DH?s are getting them done prior to the one-year mark.

Also ? this may show my ignorance, but do you have to go to an RE to get an SA done, or can your DH just call their regular Dr. to get a referral to get one done?

Thanks ladies!!!

we had one around 6 months, but I think because I was pg before, so I think they handle us differently, since they know we can get pg. My OBGYN ordered it through the fert. clinic we now go to.

My DH went to his regular doctor at about 5 months.

Hey Kiwi! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I was just chart stalking you, I'm praying for high temps!

My DH got his SA done through my Dr (not an RE) but the referral was to an RE. Your Dr can write them, might send him to an RE, lab or Urologist.

My DH had his SA done when they initiated my tests for pcos. I wouldn't get him tested before the year mark unless they are starting to test you. I'd have him tested before you start any types of treatment.

GL! I hope you don't have to bother!

Mine had his done at the 2 1/2 year mark Embarrassed

An RE, OBGYN, PCP or urologist can order it. We had ones ordered by all but the PCP.

Hi Riley! I did have a good Thanksgiving break. Thanksgiving Day was hectic though. I hope yours was wonderful!

Thanks for the info! Yeah, we have a long way to go before the one-year mark (starting on month 6 now), so I definitely hope we don?t have to have DH go that route.

I am definitely hoping my temp stays up, but this morning I woke up an hour before I took my temp b/c I had very bad cramps. I also woke up at 2 am with the same cramps and slight nausea. I had the cramps yesterday morning around 3 am as well. So I think AF is preparing to make herself at home, but I sure hope not!! J

We were at 19 months before my H had one.

Our Re did ours. But we go to the same PCP and they could have done it also.

month/cycle 11. My gyn ordered the s/a.

My DH just switched to a new hematologist and he told the dr. we are TTC and since DH has a genetic disorder Hemachromatosis, the dr. wanted to just cover all the bases and is sending him to a urologist for an SA. We have been TTC since Aug.

He also gave us a ref. for a genetic counselor since DH's disorder is hereditary. They want to see if I am a carrier and what our odds are of having a child with this disease.

I'm glad everything went well. We had a great time too. Lots of driving, but a great trip. I love DHs family!

I'm hoping the cramping was AF realizing she won't be needed for approximately 38 more weeks!!!!

Praying for you!

DH's PCM had it done prior to us going to the RE, but the RE repeated it. Even the initial SA was done after a year of TTC.

JessicaAlice · November 2009

My DH had his done at about 10 months but that was after I had testing done on me first and found out that I was ovulating regularly, etc. My OB-GYN ordered it for him.

hainesherway · November 2009

My DH had his done at month 11 (cycle 12).

huddlstn · November 2009

A little over two months, but I had just been diagnosed with PCOS by my RE (I have a history of very infrequent periods before the pill, and still haven't gotten it in three months off the pill), and she wanted to do testing before I start Clomid.

We did one at the five month mark. My DH has been married before and he and his ex tried for years with no luck. We found out that she got remarried and pregnant the first month of her marriage. So, we were really worried that DH had a problem. Turns out he did. He just asked his regular doctor for it. It was really not a huge deal. He got the cup and instructions, did the deed at home, dropped it off at the lab within a half hour and we had results within a few days.

Month 4. My OB wanted one.

We are at month 6- but due to my medical backround this is when my DR wanted us to started testing. Our DR orderd the ref but the results will go to our RE.
