SA Results

Hi Everyone!

My DH just had results for his SA. Last time his count ws 20 million and motility was 30%. After that he started taking Wellman and Maca for three months but then stopped about a month ago because he though they were decreasing his drive.
So the latest numbers are count : 80 million but motility dropped to 15%.

Normal motility is supposed to be at least 50%. I know the count has increased which is good but I am a little upset about the motility. Do you think we would still be able to go through IUI?

My other question is related to whether him suspecting that Wellman and Maca reduced his drive is possible. I know they are supposed to help. Infact initially he seemed more active and then I also noticed that he was less interested in "trying". Has anyone else experienced that? Could it have been something unrelated?

Thanks for reading.
 
Hey hun

I know Maca is supposed to increase libido as opposed to decrease but these things will always affect people differently.

Did he abstain for the usual 72 hours before hand?

The count is fantastic - they say 20 million per mil is average so for him to have 80 is really good - i would have thought IUI could still be a consideration although with motility dropping they might want another test done - what was morphology like?

I know that when we first got our diagnosis my DH was less keen on :sex:... i think that was as a result of the results but now he seems unphased by it all and things have improved.

Hope it goes okay and you get the response from the FS you want :hugs:
 
Hi hun, the increase in numbers is great, sorry about the other. I don't really know much about that. My DH analysis they just told me that everything looked fine. I don't have any clue what the numbers are. I would think in theory that IUI would still be an option since the goal is to help the sperm by reducing their amount of travel, but I don't know.
 
If his numbers were ok once before then i think it could be anything that can affected it this time round!! I would maybe get him on the new wellman conception (there new) which are more designed for motility etc and sperm so try them for another 30days and re repeat, we had two different results one before he on wellman which was ok and the second was awful cause we didnt stick to the 3day rule and OH was so ill but test needed to be done!!

All i can say is repeat it again, gyno explained to me mens SA tests change so much and anything effects them like stress, illness bad driking weekend etc.. If you had a good test before then just repeat again..
