    This is probably a stuipd question but do they test the quality of the sperm at time of IVF like they would do a normal sperm test? Just asking as DH has only ever had one test done - morph came back borderline but ok - i've often thought that they should probably have tested him again?

    Hi there Boo!

    No they dont check the quality of the sperm at IVF, they check it prior. What do you mean by borderline?

    Ok so they will probably send DH for another test before we start? Might ask the question at our next appointment.
    The FS told us he's morph was low but still in acceptable limits, from what i've read most people get tested at least twice to double check the results but my DH never has.

    Boo- A word of warning, read my little story above and dont believe everything the FS as gospel! We were told the same! Do some research...I know A LOT about sperm morphology now, if you need to know anything let me know... Kim

    Hi Guys

    Just wanted to say my DH had two adrology tests done prior to IVF, but the clinic also sent us an overall sheet of results from the IVF cycle and as part of that they had tested his sperm at the same time so we got more results then as well.

    Kim - Thanks for the info, it has often entered my mind but when i read your story it set little alarm bells off lol. I will deffinately mention it to the FS next time we speak.

    Shannon - it must be different procedures for different clinics, i just figured they would test the sperm - another question to add to my growing list for the nurse!

    EJE - fingers crossed for you, hope AF stays away
