SA questions.
I hope you ladies don't mind me posting here (I usually post on TTGP) but I was hoping you could all help me with my SA questions. DH got his results back today and I have not clue what they mean. Thank you for any help you can give.

I hope you ladies can give me some insight as to what everything means. Thanks!

Re: SA questions.
Hi there, I don't know too much about SAs but wanted to respond because the board is slow and I know it is stressful not being able to figure out what your results mean so I'll try to grapple through it.
Overall, nothing jumps out at me as being bad. For motility they usually like to see 50% or more but your DH's results are close at 45%. The total sperm of 35 million is also a tad low, I believe they like it to be 40 million or more than 20 million concentrated. Total motile at 15.6million is good...they need 5-10million for IUIs so you are in the realm of normal there.
I would say that it looks fine. Still, I'd follow up with your doctor, just to be sure.
LOL at a "lust"
OP, like Sail said, motility it a tiny bit low and concentration is low. I would recommend a 2nd SA to make sure the first wasn't a fluke.
If the results are the same, YH should see a urologist that specializes in male fertility. There are numerous things that could be causing the low count and motility and most are fixable. Good luck!
