And the results aren't good. :( His count and everything is up (yay!) but his motility is still really low--41%. "Normal" is between 40-100 with 50% or higher being preferred. His liquefaction is also not normal. It should turn to a liquid state within 30 minutes, and his doesn't do that. So we have to go to Missoula (about 100 miles away) and have a more thorough test done.
So, I'm going to have us try a couple of things. Both of us are going to take Robitussin. It can help thin out my mucus around ovulation a little more so that if his little swimmers can make it to my CM, then the fact that his semen doesn't liquify won't be a big deal. He can take Robitussin to help thin his semen a little bit as well, which will hopefully help his little guys swim a little better. He's also going to take L-Carnitine and Zinc supplements.
That's all we can do. I don't know what else to try. IUI isn't an option right now, we can't afford it. I just can't believe this has been so hard. There are all sorts of questionable people that can get knocked up over and over again. And I can't. I don't understand it sometimes. I know there must be a reason, but sometimes it's hard to remember that.
