biggerfamily -- i just called my OBGYN to see if they could fax or email me his SA so that i can let you guys know what it says, and maybe you can compare to your numbers and provide some guidance or suggestions for me.

i'm not sure if they can send stuff like that electroincally or if i'd have to go pick it up though. we'll see, and thank you, for the feedback!!!

It was hard for me to see due to the size but I think it showed its shapes was 91% abnormal is that correct?

Here I have typed it out:

Color Grey-White
Clarity Translucent
PH, SEmen - H 8.5
Liquefaction Time - 12-45, Liquefaction Complete
Semen, Viscosity- 1
Semen, Volume - 3.4
Motility with Forward Progression - 58
Motility without forward progression - 2
Motility, Total - 60
Sperm Count - 29
Morphology Immagure - 4
Morphology Abnormal - 91
Morphology Normal - 5
Sperm Viability - L45

The only notes she said were that the motility total should be greater than 60, where his is 60, the sperm count should be greater than 20, his is 29. the sperm viability should be greater than 49, and his is 45.

but i don't know what any of this means...

OK lots of it looks pretty good to me as I'm not expert but try to be helpful. Does your DH take any vitamins as it seems to me he needs to be on a vitamin cocktail to helps his swimmers more due to he has Abnormal 91.

My DH takes a vitamin cocktail is what we call it an it helps a lot.

Oh i know, i promise I'm not trying to pressure anyone into giving me a magic answer just putting a sounding board out there to try and figure out what to do. He is a health nut, works out regularly and takes a multivitamin daily. he doesn't drink hardly anything but water and sometimes coffee.
is there a specific vitamin he should be taking?

What vitamin does he take?

Name of vitamins that is?

Does he take any hot showers or uses a laptop on his lap?

I'll post what my DH takes if like the list. Others have called me nuts for what all posted but our RE said it worked great for my DH.

Look in to Goji Berry Juice. I got Lei and her DH to start taking it. It's just berry juice and you take like a shot of it every morning. Doesn't taste too bad either. It's like a super food and is REALLY good for fertility, especially in men. It's not hard to find either we have it at our grocery store in the health section.

 

[Beautifullei2]

Agree with Jenna, the goji is pretty good & DH also started taking ginseng to help. Before the ginseng his sa was 14mil & 2 months of taking that it jumped to 30 mil

I thought I read that the vitamin should have a lot of zinc in it.

NOOOO!!!!! Tell her to go away!! Far far away! I just keep getting minor cramps like I am O'ing again which I know Im not! Other than that I feel great.


I have a doctors appt tomorrow because I have been getting massive migraines & I can't take the pain anymore. I hope whatever medicine they give me doesnt interfere with us ttc.

 

[Hopin4ABump]

I really hope I'm wrong, but they are definitely tender this morning, and that makes me sad

That's awful about the migraines, I cannot imagine what that feels like. I know it's awful. You should mention to them that you're TTC and see what they think. Hope you feel better soon!!!

Hi Guys,

Just checking in on everybody! Hope you're all doing well!

I am doing good, OD+6 for me today. Still no symptoms...

Here is the calculator, I was talking about the other day. I think it's the best one I've ever seen.

I wanted to post the link to the ovulation calculator but the system wont let me because I dont have 10 posts yet.

Google babymed fertility ovulation calendar calculator

Try it out! I think it's kind of cool how it shows you day by day where you're at. If this is correct for me, then I should have (if we succedded) Implementation between now and next Tuesday.....

Its not the best feeling in the world.. Its always where my left temple is so I am really hoping they can figure out whats going on. My reg. doc already knows we are ttc so Im sure he will take that into account

[Jenna_KA]

Your tempies are looking so good Lei I like it! Have you decided what day you're going to test?
I'm sorry about your migraines :[ That's horrible. And yes, be sure to tell them you're TTC so they can give you something safe to take in case you are pregnant. I hope they can help you!

 

[Beautifullei2]
