Irregular sperm Maybe your partner has a low sperm count. Or perhaps his sperm are an unusual shape or not very mobile. Any of these factors will make it hard or impossible for his sperm to reach and fertilise your eggs. Your partner wont know that he has a low sperm count or poor sperm mobility. But if tests reveal this to be the cause of your problems, your doctor may suggest: gonadotrophins, a fertility drug that helps if your partner is not producing any sperm donor insemination (DI) with donated sperm intrauterine insemination (IUI) with your partners sperm intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) If your partner decides to take gonadotrophins, theres a very good chance that hell start to produce sperm again. Once that happens, youve got about a 40 per cent of chance of conceiving. If you opt for IUI with donor sperm, and youre under 35, you have about a 15 per cent chance of success. ICSI is often the preferred assisted conception technique for male fertility problems, such as abnormal sperm.
