Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have noticed that your semen appears to have low amount. That could be deceiving as the volume will not predict fertility. The best thing to do is to have a semen analysis. This will give you the proper information and allow for more educated recommendations.
To help increase your chances for pregnancy is to abstain from masturbation. the more ejaculations you have the lower your sperm count. Also do not use hot tubs as the Hot tubs increase temperature around your testicles and reduced testosterone levels and hence lower sperm levels. Reduce alcohol as this directly reduced sperm counts.
In summary
1. get semen analysis
2. Reduce ejaculations by no masturbation
3. reduce use of hot tubs
4. No alcohol or reduced alcohol
