Subject : SA help please!
Hi girls,
Any advice would be welcome. DH's SA came back all good apart from motility. Only 23%. Is there anything we can do to help this?
He has stopped smoking since the first test and now takes vits daily - Wellman and Fish Oils. Anything else?
Thanks girls!

Hiya Mrs Dao. I think there is a lot of good stuff in the Wellman so combined with stopping smoking and maybe cutting down on alcohol if he drinks his next SA should improve. There is a list somewhere of a load of vits that are good for swimmers but I think Wellman is a good start

Hi Mrs Dao, sorry to hear about your hubbie's results. From what I know, motility is a pretty crucuial one, so I think you may well be recommended IVF with ICSI, but obviously I'm no medic!! It is a big blow finding out this kind of thing, so big hugs to you. I know how you feel hon. However, there have been some surprise BFPs on here with low motility, most recently Kayecee and there were some others a while back as well.
I recently started a thread about tips for improving sperm. In case you're not aware, the sperm take 3 months to mature, so any changes made now will not show up in the anaylysis for another 3 months.

Good luck hon xx

Hey, just wanted to echo what the others said really the sperm will improve with your hubbies changes. Sounds like you are already doing the right things. I hope you get a cheaky bfp soon like the others tbd mentioned xx

Hi My hubbys motility is only 16% he has started taking lots of vits, swapped to looser underwear, stopped baths and reduced alcohol intake. I also got some zestica lubricant as it is meant to help the sperms get to the right place!! Good luck remember it only takes 1!
