XP from SAIF re: low motility

Hi ladies, I normally post on TN boards but DH and I recently finished our infertiltiy testing and I was looking for information on what worked for you all. The only issue we have is low motility, first SA showed 28% and the second showed 36%. I got a call from a nurse today to go over my most recent bloodwork and she said my doctor wasn't in today but her notes say we will likely move on to IUI. Of course I plan to go over this in more detail with my doctor but I wanted to hear from people that have been through it. So ladies who dealt with low motility, what worked for you? I appreciate any and all input Thank you!

Is it just low motility or is there also low count?  I would definitely recommend making an appointment with a Uro who specializes in fertility and get YH checked out.  In my case, H had low count and motility and it turned out that he had inflammed vas deferens and was put on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and it cleared everything up for him.  So it's definitely worth seeing a uro to find out if it's something that can be easily treated. 

If not, your best bet is probably to move on to IUI.  Good luck - I hope you get some answers soon!

It's just low motility his count was within normal range. He did get checked out by the Uro and found out he has a varicocele but the Uro did not recommend corrective surgery. Thanks for sharing your story!
