SA results

in TTC after 35
Well, the good news is...results are normal! 
We are shocked given his low low testosterone level! 
I am wondering if anyone has input on motility?
His is at 40%...wondering if that is "normal" but could be improved? We are working with a naturopath now, so diet and lifestyle will be addressed. 
With these results I'm now gonna have to look further into my own health. 
I've done just about every test. 
I'm mostly elated with these results (and shocked!!!), but I'm also so sick of new questions cropping up. 
This shit is hard!!!!!  :'(

    That's great news @thistle8677!!

    I have no input on motility or anything of that sort but am sure I will have my own questions soon after we go to our appt.

    And you're so right - this shit is hard!! Seems there are never ending questions that just lead to more questions...

    Hope you get some answers! Good luck!!

    First, hooray for good results!

    when we did an SA this last summer, my DH's motility was something like 30-40%. We met with a urologist and he put it into good perspective by doing the percentage of the overall count. That number was still pretty big, so he seemed to think the motility percentage was not a big deal. Hope that helps maybe!

    @thistle8677 That's great news! If 40% is "progressive motility," that's good. Zinc and L-carnitine help with motility, but it sounds like he may not need it.

    Thank you @mntngirl we definitely do need to improve motility. He takes zinc, and I'm guessing will add a lot of other supplements as soon as we meet with the naturopath next week for a follow up.

    ***loss mentioned 
    We have been TTC for 19mo. (Recurrent mc)
    Unfortunately, we have been unable to conceive in 12mo. 
    I've gone through the hoops with testing on my end, so having his SA results are a wonderful step forward. My man is having a lot of medical issues right now, but I hope with every appt that we get closer to a full and proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
