Any thoughts on why his count has dropped from 18m to 10m.
And what can he do to improve the count.

Brief Answer:
ICSI
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In first attempt itself we will come to know the oocyte quality and can assess about success and whether second cycle is needed with your eggs.
He can continue with medicines.
The drop or increase in count by 5 to 10 million is normal and no reasons attributed. But overall the range itself is lower count side.
Hence ICSI is best way forward.
