I have not seen any reputable data that ivermectin reduces fertility, that being said, the fact that you have some swimmers under a scope doesn’t mean anything. You would need to count them on and off ivermectin. Low fertility is considered less than 15 million per ml.
Bought a cheap #microscope because of rumors that #ivermectin damages #fertility. Nutted on some slides. My results suggest the rumors are bullshit. There were some days between the last dose & the examined nutt, so I guess it's still possible that there could be some temporary impact, but it ain't serious.
Plus farmers use the stuff all the time, if it impacted fertility they would know.

Well, I can't count to 15 million & there is a pretty impressive amount of depth to the small amount that is there. There is also like zero way to control how much the slides compress the sample & so estimating the amount I can even view would just be a joke.
Given the treatment of covid & the PCR tests, most establishment science is also a joke, so I am fairly satisfied with my rough examination in this particular instance.
My guess would be that labs would measure volume of the original sample, then use something like a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the swimmers. Then sample the concentration and dilute it with a specific volume of fluid, to decrease the density to something that is finitely countable. Then count, and multiply by the appropriate volumes to get to a count that is average per ml of the sample.
