Swimmer Talk

So my DH's semen analysis came back. Our RE says it's normal, so yay! But... I admit I'm a little Google-happy and have a tendency to over-research everything. And I'm concerned about the fact that he has a forward progression grade of 2, which from what I've read can indicate sluggish sperm. His motility is otherwise good (68%) and his count is 97M/mL which is also pretty good I think. Morphology looks fine. So my question is, does anyone have any thoughts on the forward progression grade? I've read that vitamin C and zinc can boost forward progression - is there any truth to that? Thanks all! Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated! :)

    Sounds like good overall stats, your doctor should know what to advise to increase or work around any motility issues, ask more questions. ..also ask questions on things you read online.
