Hi El

DP didn't ride his bike daily, and when he did ride would have done less than 20km. When we were TTC he only rode a bit and tried to stand on his pedals as much as possible (he's a mountain biker so this is more feasible than a road bike which is probably how your DH gets to work!). We can't be sure that giving up the bike riding made any difference as other measures were put in place at the same time.

I would do some more research before asking hubby to get off his bike, certainly studies have found connections but I don't know if there is major scientific agreement iykwim. It may be that the jury is still out in relation to 'moderate' bike riding...? Not sure. For us it was not a huge issue for DP to give up his big rides for a few months. Speak to your FS too.

Your DH will need to get retested but I can't see the point in doing it immediately, put those lifestyle changes in place (vitamins, less grog and caffeine, no smoking, and keep the testicles cool!!) and establish a timeframe for re-testing with your FS - maybe you could ask about that on the phone in a couple of weeks. 3 months would probably be reasonable. Doesn't the endless waiting suck!

I note that you (or rather the clinic) don't have to make the ICSI decision until the day of egg retreival if that's the way things go for you.
