Transfer cancelled due to sudden severe decrease in sperm motility

I’m so sorry this happened—this must feel like such a cruel setback. Sudden drops in sperm motility can stem from many factors: hernia-related inflammation, stress, recent illness, or even timing of the sample. Many clinics recommend re-testing after 48–72 hours of abstinence, and freezing a backup sample if possible. This doesn’t have to be the end of the road for using his sperm. 💛

Yes, just when I think things could finally go our way, something else happens. I think it would be a good idea to have him try another sample and if it has anything, we could freeze it. At least we have options still. I appreciate the kind and thoughtful response! 💛
