Male Factor Edition Part 2

In episode 7, Katie & Abby go into part 2 of the factors with Male Infertility. They describe what issues could arise from the male side of infertility and ways that you can fix the issue or procedures that can still help you reach your goal of having a healthy baby. As always, Katie & Abby do not claim to be medical physicians. They are only speaking from experience and their own research.

*Male Factor- when the cause of infertility comes from the male, it is considered male infertility.

*Sperm Motility- the movement of sperm

*Semen Analysis- where sperm is evaluated under a microscope to see motility, shape and amount.
