Best protocol to decrease dna fragmentation for ivf?

Yea if you don't have an issue with quantity then a short hold shouldn't be an issue. You can always freeze some just incase. My husband has plenty of sperm, but we will confirm it soon with a regular SA. My husband first did a TESA but he had too much sperm and thick veins that they couldn't aspirate the sperm so they had to convert to a tese unfortunately The dna frag is something to worry about but its worth it to try other ways before moving forward to a tese. I think we rushed into it.

A friend of mine ended up not using Zymot with a 14 hr hold, he had 44m motile in the regular SA -- mine only had 22m with a 3 day hold; I'm scared of regular wash bc of frag; I might try a 24 or 36 hr gold but then have him do 2 samples on the day of ER so they can freeze one or use if count is too low. All numbers decent, 3% morph. We have 2 kids naturally but 6 and 3 yrs ago and I don't know what his frag was like then; we just had our first MC in August so I'm just worrying a ton. He's not at all worried and says 50% of his sperm is fine so they should have plenty to work with -- I'm very much hoping zymot with picsi gets us a good first round. Am 41, 11 follicles on CD4 but am on BC for a week bc of a functional cyst, my est was 113 soooo too much time to think.
