Confirmed very low sperm count will this ever happen for us??

[AlmostMrsWalker]

Im losing more and more hope every time AF arrives. I talk myself into thinking im experiencing symptoms each month and then when AF arrives i just want to scream and cry!
We are so desperate to have our own children will it ever be possible? My partner has had a semen test and i never got any numbers the doc just said 100 in every 1000 are normal and alive. All she said is its VERY low (emphasis on the very)

Its so upsetting and im on the verge of giving up all hope. We have been TTC for 3 years.

We wont be able to have IVF as i already have a child from a previous relationship when i was very young.

Is there anything els the NHS can offer us? Is there anything i can do?
I chart, use OPK's, my DP wears boxers, started drinking decaf, drinks less, smokes less, has started taking zinc tablets as i read that can help.... anyone with anything to suggest please do. We cant afford anything private at the moment - (dont think anyone can, can they? lol)

PS im new here so hello all,

Welcome AlmostMrsWalker! to you!
It is so devastating to find out that your DH has sperm issues. It sounds like he is doing all the right things, but it does take time to have these things make a difference in his counts. I would suggest that he try acupuncture if you can afford it. My DH's counts were 100 000 per ml in April 2008. He started acupuncture in July (along with taking zinc, switching to boxers only etc) and his counts have shot up to over 10 million per ml (just had them tested again a few weeks ago). He also takes a supplement called Fertilaid for men. Do a google search and you'll find some info. on this product.

Good luck!
