How To Diagnose Low Sperm Count Causing Delay In Conception?

Hi, my husband and I are in our 2nd month of trying to conceive. My health history consists of endometriosis, making it harder for me. My husband works for railroad and doesnt get the proper healthy diet every day. Also is a smoker with those nasty swisher sweets. Which I know are worse than cigarettes. Now i do not know his sperm count or morphology. But I am wondering if he should be on a supplement like fertilaid. Since I know that smoking contributes to low sperm count. I just want all the small things fixed before finding out its a bigger problem, if there ever is a problem.

-The sample can be collected at home/ in laboratory,/ from vagina in laboratory in a sterile bottle,It has to reach laboratory earliest ( as sample is to be tested within 60 minutes of collection.
- Sample should be maintained at body temperature. So it is held near body while transportation.
Thanks.
