What’s the NHS pathway?

Hi. My husband and I live in the East Midlands, UK. Private semen analysis showed severe oligospermia (<1 million sperm/mL), with poor morphology and motility on the very few they could find.

Copper IUD

Does anyone have any experience with the Paragard IUD? I'm considering it for birth control because I want a nonhormonal option but I'm worried about it being uncomfortable or painful during sex (for me and for him).
