Fertility examination
Dear expert,
I have a somewhat bizarre question that has been bothering me for some time.
Several years ago, when I was 22, I examined my sperm under a microscope (a youth microscope 400X-1200X) twice. During this examination, I was only able to find a single(!) sperm. I did not pay attention to the liquefaction time and just put everything on the slide, but now I am worried whether I should have seen much more or if the liquefaction time really makes such a difference. We are now planning to start a family, and this is weighing heavily on my mind.
My question is, whether it is likely that the issue was with the incorrect method used, or if this should be considered as an indication of infertility and if a sperm analysis is recommended. (Since I did see one sperm, it shouldn't have been an issue with the microscope.)
I would be very grateful for a response.
