Hey

Well DH just had his SA done at the clinic and thought i would post the details in case there is anyone else in a similar situation.

Last SA was done in September 2008:-

Count - 1 million
Motility - 50%
Morphology - 40% (normal)

DH has improved his diet and started exercising, he follows all the guidelines re lose underpants, cutting down on alcohol etc. He takes wellman vits, zinc, vit c 1000mg and Maca - he also stopped taking Propecia which he had been prescribed.

New result done January 2009:-

Count - 8 million
Motility - 25%
Morphology - 30%

The analyst said that the count was way up which is :wohoo: but that motility had dropped. Our shower broke in September so DH had been having baths everyday and the analyst said that this could have been the reason for the lower motility since DH has changed everything else that he could. Morphology is also down slightly but there can be different factors why this is down - he also said that the ratio is up since his count has gone up by 700%.

It's a great improvement for us - it still means we will be having ICSI but it also shows (i think) how a change in diet/supplements etc can make a difference.

Plus... there is a greater change of a natural conception now! You gotta be positive! :hugs:

can i ask what changes ur oh made. my oh goes for his third sa in a year and a half. since the first one he has changed to boxers, takes multi vitamins and zinc and watches how much coffee he has - is there anything else he should be doing. he goes next week so i know theres nothing can change it before then.

Hey someday,

DH did the following;-

1000mg of vit c - effervescent.

Wellman tablets (about £7 a packet for a month) - these contained all the right vits and herbs that the fertility books say men should have - most of which i can't pronounce!! It also contains zinc which is a must.

Maca - bought off the web from healthy direct - takes 2 tablets with food.

He stopped drinking during for a whole month then started drinking only at weekens (not over the male limit). He wears loose boxers and is trying to lose weight and is playing football now. The one thing he hasn't done is stopped having hot baths due to the broken shower which could have affected the motility/morphology so he's gonna stop that from now.

Granted the improvement might be 700% but it's still a lot below what it needs to be BUT.. .just think...1 cycle of IVF and by the time we are ready for baby number 2 we might be able to go natural!

What was your DH's count like hun?x

My goodness i can't believe there is only about 4 weeks to go - that is amazing! I hope you have as many drugs as you want/need and that your baby is lovely and lets you get plenty of sleep! :friends:
