What happend next...
So after I got my husbands semen analysis done I was pretty dissapointed. I was expecting everything to be completley normal on his part but it turned out that his motility was low. Motility is extremley important, because the sperm have to have good forward progression in order to meet with the egg and have enough energy to implant the egg. I work at a doctors office and talked about the results with some of the nurses there. They told me Nick was probably going to need to see a urologist to see if he has something called a "varicoscele" (I hope I spelled that right) Basically it's a vein that heats up the sperm and causes them not to mature, slows them down, and could be the reason as to why he has a high number of coiled tail sperm. Once my doctor called me he told me the same thing, Nick needed to see a urologist, so I got on the phone right away and made him an appointment for later that week. I wanted to go with him to the appointment because I had so many questions but because of my work schedule I was unable to attend. After the appointment Nick called me to tell me about it, he said the Dr. did an exam and didn't see a varicoscele. He wanted Nick to get another semen anaylsis done and if the numbers came back as being off again then he wanted him to have an ultrasound done. Other then that the Dr. didn't seem to have any concerns that he wouldn't be able to get me pregnant. He told Nick to start taking a multi vitamin, stick with boxers rather then boxer/briefs, no smoking, and limit alcohol consumption. Nick is pretty healthy so there wasn't too much for him to do on his part. I'm still waiting for Nick to get the 2nd analysis done but it is hard for him to do it. The only place around us that does them is our local hospital and you can only do drop offs from 8am to 11am Monday through Friday and he has to be at work everyday at 7:30 am. I have my gynecology appointment on Tuesday next week so I will get to speak with my doctor about wether or not he is still going to put me on Clomid. I will let you know what happens next week!!
