No Place Like Home
A study came out recently that looked at the success rates of men who provided semen specimen's collected at the IVF Center compared to men who collected at home.
Malmo University Hospital in Lund took 379 men ranging in age from 20 to 58 years old. They had 106 of the men stay home to collect a specimen while the remaining men went to the IVF Center. The researchers compared the sperm count and "motility", how they look under the microscope, both crucial factors in successful fertilization of an egg. The home-collected sample had about 63% more sperm, which were about 54% more often of the highest-grade motility.
It has been determined that the men at the clinics suffered from "acute psychological stress" because of noise, hospital atmosphere, space limitation and the absence of their wife.
Home is where the heart is!
