Trying to Test Sperm With Not So Good Medical Insurance?
Question by Aim: Trying to test sperm with not so good medical insurance?
[rewrite]We have been TTC for some time now & we have medical insurance but it doesn’t seem to cover infertility issues. My man of 11 years which is also my 11 yr old sons dad was tested 3 years ago with low sperm count at the Cleveland clinic somewhere. & it was covered then. Well we recently decided to try again & we done the research & been doing everything right. Loose boxers,no drinking/smoking, eating healthy,vitamins/herbs,etc. So were curious to see if his count changed at all since then. I’ve been to the DR & have no issues. We live in the Cleveland ohio area & wonder if any1 knows where we can go to have just the sperm tested & if any1 knows how much it cost or any suggestions where to go??? I know that u can buy the at home tests online,but i’m not sure how good they are & the drug stores around don’t carry them. Please lets be realistic & no stupid answers Only serious Thank u

I would guess that most medical centers/hospitals would be able to do a spermatogram. Some only have the lab equipment available on certain days.
Did your husband’s doctor do follow up on why his sperm count was low? This might be worth exploring, as perhaps an infection of the testes (like orchitis) or low hormone levels might account for it. (Guys may have low hormones like testosterone or FSH but not know it- it can happen regardless of age & may be relatively asymptomatic.) If he hasn’t had follow up done, it would be worthwhile to ask his current primary care physician to explore the possibility of low hormones, which should be covered by insurance. Though some medications like hCG are “fertility drugs”, they also double as treatment for low sex hormones.
