How long does it take to make new sperm?

As it takes 70-90 days for sperm to fully mature, treatment must be taken over a period of few months to address the problem factors which affect sperm parameters.

Therefore, whether attempting to conceive naturally or through assisted means (IVF or IUI), it is essential to undergo a 3 month course of treatment to allow time to improve sperm production- it simply takes this long for new sperm to be made and matured.
