Something to lighten us up

[furry_bandico]

So for fun I did an at home SA for DH.... and I took a fun little video of the sample under the scope

The link below contains footage of the sample under scope at home. If you are squeamish of sperm then please avoid the link.

Sorry about the quality but it is easy to tell why we are having so many problems getting pregnant. Though out of what can be seen in the vid the sperm are strong when I can infact find one.... little buggers need to be in me, not the slide.

Little factoids here:
*the field of view should look like a flash-mob with an undiluted sample, like as shown in the video.
*Magnification was at I believe 900x
*Scope used was from a kids Smithsonian Biolab Kit.
*Sperm are still visible at roughly 450x or 600x magnification with a properly calibrated scope with clean lenses and proper lighting.

Hope you enjoyed, and if you have any videos of your own I would love to see them and show them to DH because he thinks his sample is "just fine"

Thanks for sharing , I have been viewing my DH's sperm under a microscope as well .they look good but there are too many to count so I might buy the sperm check test to give me a idea of if they are over 20 million. my DH has been taking supplements to increase his count for the past 3 months.

has he had a low count before taking the supplements? I was wanting DH to go on CoQ10 but he is anti anything that could be medicine or a supplement. If it is not food he wont take it

Yes he had one semen analysis back in 2009 that showed low count of 16 million and slow swimmers , never went back for another one. we have had pretty good timing each month and no luck, since november he has been taking several supplements 1000mg Tribulus Terrestris , 1000mg maca, 200 mg pine bark extract and 200mg ubiquinol and now we have added clomid as well so hopefully it helps.
