There are a few Infertility groups.

misc.health.infertility and alt.infertility are the groups to ask about
procedures.

If you have no living children, then you can post on alt.infertility
primary for support (if you have children then alt.infertility.secondary).

Before posting on the infertility groups you should read the faq for
proper use of headers (in case someone is having a bad day).

Knowing little or nothing more than what is in this post, I will say...

You should save it up and give it 2 or 3 good shots. In particular...

You should not have sex for at least a week before you "start trying,"
then you should try 4 days before ovulation, 2 days before ovulation, and
on ovulation day. Of course, I am assuming you know when you are going
to ovulate, and this can be tricky, but if you use the methods in one
of the fertility awareness books, you can guess pretty good.

There are also some things your DH can do to increase his sperm count
slightly. Like wearing boxers instead of briefs. (They produce less
when they are warmer). There may be some foods he can eat, but I'll
let one of the nutritionists in the group answer that one.

Good luck,
Larry

Good info on how to tell you are ovulating and how to get pregnant on this
site:

Yep. Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler (you can order
it from Amazon) has some advice on this front (pretty much what Larry
has said). It is also *the* charting book as far as I am concerned
and for your situation charting would probably be very very useful.
We have a similar situation though for very different reasons and its
very useful to have a fair idea when to 'go for it' so to speak.

Hi,

you're welcome to join the mkp TTC group, to be found at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mkpttc

As for saving up sperm (we have some sperm issues, too, so I've done a
bit of reading) - around 2 days is a good idea, i.e. don't bd every day.
But don't save up for too long, either, because the sperm starts
deteriorating after a couple of days! There's a new study which suggests
that men who have impaired sperm should wait no longer than 2 days!
