Spouses with low sperm count.

[Kelly9]

Sounds like great news to me Georgia!

Oh and I found out something interesting according to WHO (world health organization) they have changed how they measure morphology (on the kruger scale) and are more strict so when I posted that my hubby's morphology dropped from 11% to 2% I thought his sperm just got worse but with his old SA's when he had 11% morphology anything %15 and higher was good. But now with the new standards you need to have %5 or greater. So my hubby's morphology is a bit lower then normal with this last SA but it's no where near as bad as I thought originally! Got to take whatever victory I can.

That's great news Kelly!!!

 

[Kelly9]

Well certainly better then I thought originally! But it still proves that the vitamins my husband was on were not doing anything to help him.

 

[LaineB]

What Vitamins is he on? I have my husband on so many vitamins he might as well eat them for breakfast!

 

[Kelly9]

He was on a bunch, a daily multi, zinc, selenium, b12, vit C and a bunch of others but I can't remember what he hasn't taken them in ages.

Hi GerogiaBelle,

DH sex drive has been declining too. I don’t know if it has to be with his age he is only 35. What I do know is that testosterone does affect your sex drive. It’s great to hear you see a difference with the vitamins and FB. We have seen a difference in the SA’s as well. We did add vitamin E to the cocktail of vitamins hoping it will improve the count. It also helps with testosterone so I hope it will increase his sex drive. Keep working on building his confidence back. Sometimes men can be stubborn.

I hope you get your miracle too!

Harvey I'd say thats great timing!

It's my little mans first birthday party tomorrow! (He doesn't turn 1 till tuesday though) I can't believe it's already here. I have a feeling the next baby's first year will go even faster.

Wannabe how's the testing going?

My DH had a reversal done in October 2009, after having a 14 year old VR.

DH had one sperm analysis done since the reversal and
mind you it had only been 8 months since the reversal and the dr's office said that the number can continue to go up over the next 1 to 2 years... so we can retest again in about 6 months if we want and if I am not pregnant yet....

Here were the figures.....

-5 million total count
-36% motility

We are over due for a retest and my hubby took Fertilaid vitamins for a little while, he hasnt been taking them lately because we couldnt afford to buy anymore, but once we have the $$ we will be buying him some more if I dont get my official BFP soon.

I dont know about the Vitamin E, I dont think it could hurt though??? Sorry I couldnt be of more help with your question.

[harvey]

who nows huni,, dnt worry tho..

xx

 

[Kelly9]

off to check thread.

 

[harvey]

shud count be 20mill or 40? im worried now,,
i thought we had slightly lower motilty and poop morph to deal with,, but count aswell
wot else?
x

 

[Kelly9]

Counts should be at least 40 million with 60 being ideal but 40 is the cut off for "normal" motility should be 50% and morphology with the new standards released from the WHO should be %5 or greater

 

[harvey]

hmmm thts interestin kelly,, cos my fs said 20 is normal,, im now wondering if it meant 20 per mill is normal?

Hi Tiffy, we have been ttc for over a year and I was checked and everything is fine with me, my dh has low sperm count and motility but the first test was not an indepth one, so the fertility clinic ordered another one, which he took over 2 weeks ago but we are waiting for the results, it is a nightmare that they expect you to wait so long for results. I wish it was something wrong with me as they said as my dh husband has low sperm count and motility there is nothing we can do and that we have to wait for a review appointment which takes 13 weeks from sa and they will put us on the list for ivf, my dh is however trying all the supplements to help increase both count and motility (which is why I am so anxious about finding out the results of his more resent test), I will let you know if it made any difference.
