What is the average sperm count in a 45 year old man?
My average as a 44 year old is 170m per ml. That was tested by a fertility clinic. I supp ose It's down to a good diet no drinking smoking or drugs.
How do you increase the probability of having a baby boy child?
According to the Shettles method, sperm containing the y (male) chromosome tend to be "faster" than those containing the x (female) chromosome, so sex right when ovulation occurs or shortly after should increase the odds for a boy because the "boy" sperm will win the race to the egg. Sex two to four days prior to ovulation tends to favor girls because the sperm with the x-chromosome tend to live a longer than the y-chromosome containing sperm so by the time the egg arrives most of the "boy" sperm are dead.The Whelan method advocates the opposite of the Shettles method. The Whelan method suggests intercourse four to six days prior to ovulation to increase the likelihood of fertilization by male sperm.Of course both methods require knowing exactly when ovulation occurs so relying them to choose the gender would only slightly increases the chance of getting the target gender - and, in case you didn't notice, they give opposite advice...There are only 2 proven techniques that may affect the gender of the baby: 1) sperm sorting and 2) IVF with the use of PGD.Sperm sorting works on the premise that it separates the X and Y-sperm by use of centrifugation. During centrifugation, controlled spinning causes particles in a sample to become sorted into layers according to density of those particles. Sorting separates the more dense X-sperm from the lighter Y-sperm. One half of the sperm normally produced by a healthy male will carry the Y-chromosome producing a male child, and the other half of the sperm will be the X-chromosome producing a female child. By altering the number of one chromosome or the other by separating the layers, one is increasing the chances of producing a child of a specific gender. During sperm sorting, the sperm cells are separated from the seminal fluid, the sperm are concentrated into healthy and motile sperm, abnormal sperm is filtered out, and finally the separation of the X and Y-sperm concentrates the sample to the desired gender. The remaining sample is more likely to result in a successful pregnancy and will increase the odds of the desired gender group. This technique is widely used and is a standard process in IVF and IUI procedures. After the sperm is sorted, the sample will be inseminated into the woman which is an in office technique. Using sperm sorting improves the odds of a boy to approximately 78% - 85% instead of 50%. If trying for a girl, using sperm sorting yields about 73% - 75% girls.The technique PGD is the only method which can virtually guarantee the gender of your choice because embryos are tested for gender before they are implanted in the womb. These tested embryos are created for the purpose of IVF. The eggs are harvested from the mother (or donor) and the sperm sample is taken from the father (or donor) and the embryos are created in the lab for later implantation. These embryos are subject to a biopsy procedure on the third day of growth that allows a single cell to be analyzed for male or female chromosomes. While this is the most accurate technique, it is by far the most involved and most costly. PGD is commonly used for couples with a family history of a genetic disorder and older mothers are more likely to have a baby with genetic birth defects. PGD is not 100% reliable and only tests for specific defects, parents should use other prenatal genetic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. PGD is expensive and still considered an experimental procedure. Clinics will not allow couples to partake in PGD even if they are willing to pay for the services if the couple simply wants to influence the gender of their child. Screening processes are extremely stringent and in most cases a couple will only be accepted if they have a genetic abnormality they are attempting to avoid. Success rates for this type of procedure are 97-99.9% accurate in couples seeking either a boy or girl.
What are two characteristics of semen that enhance the probability of fertilization?
The first is the concentration of sperm cells in semen - the higher the concentration better the possibility of conception. The second is the percentage of normal sperm cells - the lesser the number of abnormal sperm cells, the better the possibility of conception.
what is the average pay for sperm donations?
The average pay for sperm donations generally vary from location to location, but usually are around $40 up to $200 per specimen.
Is there a way of telling how high a guy's sperm count is without a test?
No.
Should you freeze sperm after a vasectomy reversal?
Yes. always always always
What changes in the appearance of sperm occur after a vasectomy procedure?
After a vasectomy procedure, the appearance of sperm remains the same. However, the sperm will no longer contain semen, as the vasectomy blocks the tubes that carry semen. This means that the sperm will still be produced by the testicles but will not be able to leave the body.
He had a vasectomy 8 years ago his wife got pregnant and the baby is now 8 months old and he just was tested to see if it failed is it possible to see if his sperm leaked since its been 17 months?
It is possible that the vasectomy was not effective, or it occassionally will heal itself. A doctor's office can test his ejaculate and see if it contains sperm.
how good is a vasectomy after 18 years?
A vasectomy procedure severs the vasa deferentia of a man and then ties/seals the cut ends to prevent sperm from entering into the seminal stream (ejaculate).A vasectomy is a permanent operation. It should therefore prevent the man from producing sperm in his ejaculate for life.However, it has been known for the ends of the vasa deferentia to reconnect by themselves. To be sure you could test to see that there are no sperm present in the ejaculate.
Does a man release sperm if sterilized?
A man that has had a vasectomy does not release sperm, however, he does ejaculate.
What is the possibility of a man getting a woman pregnant after a vasectomy?
Depending on how long after the vasectomy you have intercourse, after he had he vasectomy they usually test his sperm on a regular basis until there are no sperm present. If he had his vasectomy months to years ago then no you cannot get pregnant. It is possible it has come undone or is leaking. Regular Dr checkups are a way to prevent that. Old vasectomys were a clip. The clip may not be pinching anymore. Sperm can last up to 20 ejaculations...or 3mths after vasectomy. Be careful. Yes, but the chances are very slim. Vasectomies are the most reliable method of family planning with a failure rate of less than 1 per thousand. The most common reasons for failure are a) that the man didn't wait long enough after the operation (usually 2-3 weeks or 20 ejaculations) before having sex, and b) that the vas deferens spontaneously reconnected. The chances of a failure after properly clearing and being tested at 3 months are put at about 1 in 4000, or 0.025%.
Will a man with a vasectomy show semen under a black light?
No, a man who has had a vasectomy will not have semen in his ejaculate. A vasectomy is a permanent form of male contraception that prevents sperm from being present in the semen.
What is the objective of the vasectomy?
A vasectomy severs the vas deferens, preventing sperm from entering the man's ejaculate. This is a form of sterilization and birth control for males.
Why a man sexually reponsiveness generally remain unchanged after vasectomy?
A vasectomy blocks the path of sperm. It does not change the production of testosterone or other hormones.
My partner had vasectomy almost 15yrs and i am 28 yrs old it is possible i can get pregnant?
Even if he had a vasectomy, it is possible - if unlikely - for you to get pregnant. A vasectomy is basically surgery where they cut the little tubes the sperm swim through so that they can't get out the end of the penis. Sometimes the cuts heal in such a way that some sperm can still get out; if you have any doubts it might be a good idea for him to go in for a sperm count, so they can see if any sperm are managing to escape.
Why is vasectomy an effective method of birth control in males?
Because if there is no sperm in the ejaculate there is no fertilization.
Can sperm be retrieved from a man once he has had a vasectomy and used for artificial insemination?
Yes, a man can. My husband had a vasectomy 7 years before I met him and we now have a four year old and we're trying for another. It just means the doctor uses a needle into the testicles and they take sperm from further up, it is a whole lot cheaper and easier than a reversal. You just go see your local IVF unit or GP. They either have to reverse it, or go in to his testicles with a needle and remove the sperm that way. Note: when considering the cost of each proceedure, remember that if you choose IVF, you pay to have the sperm harvested and for each attempted fertilization.
