Ghost - Question about Semen Analysis

Post by JenNJ »

Ghost, my DH was on Clarithromycin 500mg twice a day for 10 days (20 pills) for a bacterial infection. His last dose was Tuesday December 1st. He has an appointment for a semen analysis this Wednesday. Everything we have read online says that the antibiotics will reduce motility and count. Is this true? Is he okay to go through with this test this Wednesday or should he wait?

Thanks for all your help!

I don't know, but I'll try to ask the RE tomorrow.

Update: I did not get a chance to ask today because the RE I wanted to ask was out of the office.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
