Oh Gawd..... 94% immotile..... doc will tell us if there's anything to do when i have my appt. it doesn't seem nice at all. could it be that since we haven't had any activity for weeks, this could have effected the result?

 

[chicky160]

Piano the standard procedure when we did ours was no sperm older than 5 days and younger than two, so in other words dtd 2 days before sa and the abstain until test which will give the freshest results. But in saying that my hubby's motility I think was only 4%, what was his total count? X

count was 3 x 10 ^6/ml


I'm devastated right now.

 

[Briss]

total count is 30 millions, isn't it? it's pretty good.

 

[chicky160]

So total count 30 million and 6% of those are motile!? Hun I don't know why you are devastated that's a great result for someone who's not had sex for weeks and should technically only have dead sperm lying around! Fantastic and well above what it should be

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Piano has he not even released his little men at all? If not then those results are wow! Also the count is high so he has more good sperm than some men have sperm at all.

They will probably repeat the test as could be an off day too. Don't get upset yet xxx

Thanks Briss, Chicky and Tink, i had a good cry tonight. i'm on a very low battery. i don't know how i will face work tomorrow. but doc is going to see us and explain some things. he'll give hubby some vitamins.

 

[Briss]

I had a serious talk with hubby but he is just not ready to move to IVF

 

[exilius]

Piano, don't stress. The count is good, and depending on the morphology it could still be good (based off the WHO guidelines). On top of that it is possible to have perfect sa results, but still have sperm that doesn't work. The specialist will go through what it all means, as well as how any problems with you interact.

Tks Exil, i'm feeling better this morn, just tired from yesterday's cry lol!

Briss maybe he'll think about it and he'll accept it little by little. It's always a shock when things go in an unexpected way. i'm talking from the little experience i've gathered.

 

[chicky160]

Oh Briss you must feel like you're banging your head off a brick wall! And with all the effort you are putting in too, how old is hubby Briss? Is it that he's not ready emotionally, financially, possibly both? Gosh I wish I had something more helpful to say x

 

[garfie]

Piano - I don't understand any of this - just sending BIG

Briss - Sorry hubby feels this way - is there any other procedure you could have I know my hubby won't have IVF either

Tink - How did work go - lots to learn I bet more structure? - Did you say working for the NHS when I used to work in the offices of the Hospital there was rules for this rules for that

Exil - Not long until the Wedding now

Chicky - Hope you are feeling better and you are getting nice and fat

Hopeful - Hope you are well today

AFM - Nothing to report - keeping myself busy had 13 boxes of avon to deliver - so if nothing else I'm keeping myself fit

Tks Garfie, this is all new for me as well. i'm learning as i go. soon going to the appt witht he doc for explanation of the result. I hope it isn't as bad as i thought.

 

[exilius]

Piano, might be worth looking at the WHO recommendations. They reckon a count of 20 million is plenty, so because your hubby is higher he can afford to have a lower motile amount.

 

[ilovepiano]

Tks Exil, just back from the doctor. i want to scream at the world right now! Hubby's count is not 30 million but 3 million. Doc will have to try IUI. He told hubby to take some vitamins for 3 months. then we should speak again.

I don't know where to bang my head right now.

 

[Briss]

piano, your doctor is right 3 x 10 ^6/ml means 3 million not 30, I am so sorry! I know it's not much of a consolation but my Dh has 2.8 million but last year it was 12. On a positive side your doctor at least gave him some vitamins, mine just ignored this issue all together so I had to do the research on vitamins myself. There is a very good sperm expert called Rich on here https://www.fertilichat.com/activity.php hi gives really good advice on how to improve sperm count. he comes once every few weeks but he will definitely respond to your question. But there is not necessarily an issue with your hubby's sperm, it can be just temporary if he e.g. had a flu, unless there is an underlying reason for this, in most cases it's just lifestyle. What vitamins your doc suggested?

In case this is helpful my husband is taking the following vitamins/supplements:

1500 Maca
100 COQ10
1,000 Flaxseed oils
30 Zinc
50 Selenium
2,000 Vitamin C

ooh briss nice temp spike

 

[Briss]

unfortunately the temp spike is cos I did not sleep well, hubby got home very late and crashed on the sofa while I was on my own in our bedroom tossing and turning thinking he was still out somewhere getting robbed probably or something worse … I was happy to see he is safe in the morning but I was very annoyed that he did not join me but mostly cos he was drinking… right after we had this conversation about Ivf and time running out…. how could he!

 

[ilovepiano]

Oh Briss, is there a vitamin called horny goat? that sure made me laugh!

he told him to take Wellman Conception for 3 months. then we'll speak again. nothing much.

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Piano don't panic until you've got two lots of results. May be one off test if not then we will probably be doing iui together.

Garfie induction with nhs is going well thanks. Want it to hurry up so I can start on ward tomorrow. Really hope I like it.

Looks like I got out of work at the right time as one of the girls has announced her pregnancy (days before Christmas do) thought she was going to announce I then. So glad she's done it before (she ws told not allowed to do it at xmas do if she was)

to you all xxx
