It's an fair to blame the woman for the infertility issues...
It takes two to make a baby ...Male infertility can be due to low sperm production, misshapen or immobile sperm, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors can play a role in causing male infertility.
Your Partner must produce healthy sperm, enough sperm in the semen, sperm must be shaped correctly and able to move. If the movement (motility) or shape (morphology) of your sperm is abnormal, the sperm may not be able to reach or penetrate your partner's egg.
Does not anyone look at other factors besides the women's ability to carry a baby?

Sure they look, My husband has some of the worst sperm in the world...they told us IVF as soon as he did his first analysis.

Thank For You Reply....I know that it could not just be a woman's factor.

When you seek treatment for getting preggo, it's one of the first things they look at since it's easy and not invasive.

Of course they do. Actually in my experience most doctors start by analyzing the sperm first - since it is the easiest - and if all is well in that area then move to the woman. In our case DH was born vasectomized, so they told us IVF from the get go.

You're right, it does take two and it's not just female. In my case, my DH has a morphology issue (sperm shape) and I have low AMH so it's definitely both of us. The good thing is that we don't blame eachother, we just work together on fixing the problem.

Our issue was sperm mobility. We did a sperm analysis and everything looked good, great actually. We moved on to all other sorts of treatment but it wasn't until our first IVF they identified our issue. We intended to do natural fertilization and they called to say we had to do ICSI in order for it to possibly work. DH's sperm mobility dropped off significantly within a few hours. Normal SA look at them for about 1 hr and make their conclusions. Had they left it for a few hours and checked again we would have saved ourselves years of expense & heartache. We should have been recommended IVF from the get go.
