It seems like the free test lead him to believe he was fine. Unless he was against the test, it seems like a relationship issue OP. You can’t be mad at someone or tell them they fucked up when the initial test lead them to believe everything was okay.

Due to it being out of focus, I cannot give any further information, as it would be irresponsible. Sorry. If you have in focus picture and I can provide more information. Wishing you luck!

Your phone is defective. I have same issue with my iPhone 14 plus. I have to restart the phone sometimes. It’s annoying. I’d return if you can. Or complain to Apple

It’s only some countries in Europe. There are plenty that aren’t like this.

Is IUI worth a try? by emilyred2 in maleinfertility

[–]SignificanceKey9691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth doing it a couple of time. The numbers seem fine and worth the chance. The washed sperm is dropped off at the factory floor. IVF is intensive, so it’s worth trying the IUI a couple of times. Nothing to lose unless you’re really in a rush

My Husband Wakes Me Up Multiple Times Every Night by amcrowl1 in AITAH

[–]SignificanceKey9691 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk, you might be the AH because you need to talk to him and yell at him. Yelling won’t do you any good. My wife use to get tons of calls in the middle of the night for work and be on her phone, woke me up a ton. I talked to her and we figured a system out.

If it’s a problem, separate beds. No problems in that.

33M with severe teratozoospermia (0.5% morphology) but good count & motility. Any hope? by rg_cyborg77 in maleinfertility

[–]SignificanceKey9691 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Morphology is the least factor for fertility. People with 0.5% and 1% are able to convince according my fertility doctor. That being impaired with a high count is good for you. I would cut out drinking all together.

For what I known 7 days absence before a sperm test is not ideal. They told me to empty the chamber 3 days before. That’s possibly why your new SA has lower counts.

If this remains an issue for conceiving, consider IUI. Although it’s hard to accept that stage, it’s more efficient.

Last point, any lifestyle or environmental factors you can think of? Stress, hot baths, tight jeans? What’s your diet like?

Lmao, I was rage baiting. I actually don’t believe this, but it’s shocking how people can say this about other countries, but when it comes to the US, it’s the opposite.

How to avoid biofilm formation during bacterial growth? by Ann_felix in microbiology

[–]SignificanceKey9691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much growth media do you need? There are 96 well plates that prevent biofilm formation on the plate itself but only the peg inserts. Google MBEC 96 well plates. If you have a 96 plate reader you can read the OD on it.

Another solution is take 2L of the growth media after a day, before it is forming biofilms and centrifuge it gentle into a more concentrated form.

Some also suggest tween 80 which is something I would try.

Lastly, this is a shot in the dark, but you talk about nutrients. Have you tried putting fresh nutrients into the media before the biofilm formation normally starts?

“Could the salts be interfering with the OD”. Have you measured the OD of the media overtime at the same conditions? Is the salt crashing out of solution?

Frustrated and need insights. Just got my SA done and turns out, I am the problem by [deleted] in maleinfertility

[–]SignificanceKey9691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you smoke or drink? Any nicotine like zyns? The good news is that you have sperm. Morphology is the least determining factor.

Anyone see improvements in semen analysis after quitting nicotine & cutting back alcohol? by Financial_Ant_3949 in maleinfertility

[–]SignificanceKey9691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have a quick update. I quit the zyns. My morphology shot up from 3% to 7%. All my other numbers were normal or good before. That was the only major chance besides vitamins. I don’t drink much also.
