Hubby's sperm analysis results:

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:48:00 -0600

I guess Sperm came back NORMAL

Mobility came back NORMAL

Morph came back NORMAL

So I guess it has to do with me why we cant concieve?? =(

What does semen viscosity mean?

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 07:27:17 -0600

Well, my situation has changed somewhat.....I assumed my husbands semen analysis would come back normal and it didn't. Everything was fine all except for his semem viscosity. What does this mean? Will we still be able to have children the natural way and could this be the reason why we haven't been conceiving in the past 15 months? Thanks so much!!

Jen's Journey =)

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:32:14 -0600

Been trying to have our first baby for 3 years as of October 2008. My husband is 24 and I am 23. We were best friends in high school, I've known him since I was 6 years old. We've been together 6 years on November 2nd =)

Been married for 3 years. Bought our first house a month before we got married. We are hard working and honest mid-west people. =)

After stopping birth conrtol pills I did not have a period for 13 months. Then once I got a period every month I tried naturally for a year, nothing. So I went to the Dr and found out I do not ovulate on my own (even though I get a period each month I fall into the 20% of women who get a false period but do not ovulate) I'm on clomid right now. First round 50 mg. No ovulation.

Second round 50 mg. No ovulation, but on huge follicle at least. Progesterone level 0.8 on cd 25.

Third Round 100 mg... still awaiting the results.

The goal is to get me to ovulate on my own so I can finally get pregnant!! I've had a HSG, u/s, bloodwork. We are awaiting the results of DH's semen analysis right now.

I was told I may have a sub septate uterus. I have a SIS this month to get that checked out. May have to get it fixed soon.

Working part time now and going to school for nursing. Every day is a challenge, but I know my time to be a mother is closer than ever and I am very very thankful. I know there is a time and place for everything and soon my life will change. I am already very blessed and I realize why it was meant to be that we waited to be parents (although it does not ease the pain). I wish you all the best and if we only truly believe we will be mothers then we will achieve it =)

My journey trying to conceive #4

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:07:45 -0500

Hi everyone! I have posted several questions but thought I would actually write about my journey since I have really learned alot and have felt more positive from reading some of the other jouneys. So here goes:

My DH and I are both trying to conceive baby #4. We have 2 kids from my first marriage, Zach age 16 and Holly age 13. We have 1 son together, Grayson who is 3. Grayson was indeed an "OOPS" baby as my hubby was told his boys are slow swimmers! This was during his first marriage. His ex and him could not conceive a child.

We got pregnant in Oct or Nov of 2004 and in Dec suffered a misscarriage. It was a huge shock getting pregnant! We weren't trying to conceive as we both thought it wouldn't happen. But in Feb 2005 we were PG again and Little G was born in Nov 2005!! What a joy he is to us. Especially to his Dad, as my hubby thought he would never have a child of his own. He is an awesome Dad to G and to Zach and Holly, whom he loves very much. I am very blessed.

Here is where my journey goes downhill...in Sept of 2007, DH tells me he wants to have another baby. I was surprised but totally excited to have another. I really though we were done. We had given away all of our infant things! So, we started trying...PG in January, but lost the baby. PG again in April and lost that baby too. As of yet, we have not got pregnant. I just finished my 3rd round of Clomid. DH had a SA done and as we already knew, he has a low sperm count and the boys are still slow! DH has a tumor on his pituitary gland and is on meds for it. As of last MRI it is gone! Which is AWESOME!!! He uses testosterone gel daily as part of his treatment. We are now making an appt to see a urologist. Hopefully this can help. I was diagnosed in May 2008 w/hypothyroid which is now under contol. Hopefully we will get a BFP soon. Thanks for taking the time to read and I wish everyone MUCH babydust!!!

DH Sperm Test, need some anwsers please?

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:55:29 -0500

My DH got this report can you tell me what are the chances of conceiveing alone:

*SEMEN LIQUID 7.C

*APPERARANCE PALE YELLOW

*SEMEN VOLUME 4.C

*SEMEN PH 8.C

*SPERM MOTILITY 18

*SPERM VIABILITY 15

*SPERM MORPHOLOGY 62

*SEMEN COUNT 1.8

If anyone can tell me what the outcome is, and if it is at all possible to be able to concieve without a dr. We have been to one and we dont have the money for the IVF, we are hoping that if it was meant to happen it will, what are your thoughts?

Thank you all for your time.

How do I begin to get a SA?

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:42:17 -0500

I don't have a regular family doctor, but I want to pursue getting a semen analysis. Do I just go straight to a urologist, or should I go to a walk-in clinic and get referred? I just don't know hot to begin this process.

Home Fertility Test To Check Effects of Varicocele

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:04:53 -0500

I have a varicocele going to my left testicle. I've had it for a couple years now, and it only occasionally hurts. After doing much research on it online, I know there's not much you can do except surgery if it gets bad enough or if it seems to be hurting your fertility. I read, though, that it doesn't necessarily affect fertility.

My wife and I do not have good insurance (just coverage for major problems), and so I am considering doing an at home fertility and motility test (Fertell) to see if this has anything to do with my problem.

My wife and I have been trying for six months (I'm 25, she's 24), and I know they say wait for a year before checking yourself out, but I'm afraid my varicocele could be the problem.

My question is, would you recommend and at home sperm analysis (again, I think Fertell is what I want) to see if this could be a problem?

We just don't have the money to go to the doctor for this, especially if it doesn't end up showing I have a problem.

Is Fertell accurate enough on the amount and motility to keep from going to the doctor right away?

SA results - Dr Q, please help, if it's possible

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:55:10 -0500

Hello Dr Q, hello girls! We just got my husband's SA results and I am a little concerned. Maybe you can help me. The results are:

-Volume 5.0 (range 2.0-5.0)

-Concentration 100 million (20.-20mil/ml)

-Motility 70% (>=50 progressive)

-Mean Velocity 38 (>=25 micrometers/sec)

-Mean linearity 5.2 (0-10 Circulat to straight line)

-Motile sperm/Ejaculate 350 million (25-250million/ejaculate)

-Motility index 26.6 (>=10)

-Viability n/a% (>=75 live from non-motile cells)

-Normal Sperm (STRICT CRITERIA) 8% ("gray area" when normal forms are 5-8%, based on IVF results; Normal>=8%, abnormal 4%).

I am mostly concerned about the morphology 8%. I read previous posts on this site, and after I freaked out a lot, and I understood that if the Number of sperm is high enough, it migh "echilibrate" the low morphology. I am not sure how high is the total count suppose to be in this case (I saw that it is in normal values, but is it high enough in this case?)

Dr Q, I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Do you think we can still TTC naturally? What are our chances based on these results?

Thank you in advance! I appreciate it. Thank you all for support and Good Luck!!!

Semen Analysis

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:25:08 -0500

I AM MARRIED FROM LAST 2 YEARS BUT MY WIFE COULDN'T CONCEIVED. I DID MY SEMEN ANALYSIS WITH ACTIVE MOTILE 35% AND SPERM CONCENTRATION 32.54MILLIONS/ML. WE MET A DR HERE. SHE ADVISED ME TAKE UBIPHENE(CLOMIFENE UBIDECARENONE) FOR 3 MONTHS. MY WIFE IS HAVING A NORMAL MONTHLY CYCLE OF 26-27DAYS. PLEASE SUGGEST ME THAT UBIPHENE WILL WORK TO IMPROVE MY SEMEN ANALYSIS AND MY WIFE CONCEIVE OR NOT???

SA after flu vaccine

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:16:01 -0500

Hello Dr Q!

Could you please tell me, can a flu vaccine shot or any (OTC like tylenol, ranitidine, omeprazole) influence a SA done a few days (3-4) later? (sorry if it's a childish question, I thought - better safe...) Thank you in advance. Best regards.

new sa results in after the the first one 2 yrs ago

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:05:59 -0500

this is the first one 2 years ago

e not pretty lol

Volume: 2ml PH: 8.0

Appearence: normal

Liquefication: complete

Consistancy: Normal

Motility

Rapid progression: 1%

Slow progression: 1%

Non-progressive motility: !%

Immotile 97%

Morphology: normal %

Defects 96%

Total sperm density 29.5 millions/ml

As you can see it does not look good, it was only tested once and we have had to keep on to our doc to have another test, he said wait a year and now we are fed up with keeping on about it.

These are the new results i got today i have started a new post as reversal vas was being missed.....

volume= 1.5

motility= rapid =62%

slow =2%

non =15%

Immotile=21%

Sorry for putting it indepth there was no overall % for motility just broken down?

Concentration/count= 33.4ml

Morphology= 15% normal

Well what do you all think?

As you can see from the above first sa two years ago it a big improvement but is it enough now to fall naturally?

Girls and dr q i would appreciate your help please, seeing doc next wednesday.

Conclusion says all analyses are within normal limits heres hoping x

Stepping Onward Towards Answers

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:25:53 -0500

Well ít's officially 135 days since my last period. My dh and I have an appt with a RE on Sept 18th/08. Today I picked up my husband's kit from the lab for semen analysis..mmm yummy! On Sept. 9th/08 I go for a transvaginal ultrasound and also a regular pelvic ultrasound so I have to drink 4 large glasses of water before it...had 2 blood draws that showed low progesterone high testosterone and high LH/FSH ratio. The countdown is on until we can find out the path of how to get a wee one into our lives!
