Thats right, the CDC (center for disease control), the US governments personal watchdogs for the nations health has announced a nationwide epidemic; male reproductive health !  Shocking?  Not to me, as I have seen countless semen analysis come through my clinic (usually without the men attached to them, but the wife toting the sad document) that display a very sad state of our male reproductive health, in particular, male factor infertility.

I just finished reading a study from San Paulo Brazil on over 1900 ICSI cycles, almost equally divided between the seasons throughout the year.  They found that there was an almost 1.5 x increase in fertilization rates during the spring season!  It makes sense that, especially if fertilization is an issue, then this is the time for you to schedule your next IVF.  It has been long known that this is the season where most natural conceptions occur, so it makes sense that the same would happen even when a piece of the reproductive puzzle is performed by high tech lab instrumentation.
