Okay, the results of my husbands second analysis are in. My doctor wanted my husband to take a supplement called "Conception XR" for about 6 weeks and then get his semen analysis re-done. The first analysis was done on October 12th, 2010 and the second one was done on January 3rd 2011. Everything in black is from his most latest analysis after taking the supplement, and everything in red is from his very first one. When you see the word "Reference" that is what the range should be...
Volume: 3.0 (Reference 1.5-5.0) 2.5
Viscosity: NORMAL (DROPLETS) Normal
Appearance: Yellow Tinge White,Opaque
pH: 8.0 (Reference 7.3-8.3) 8.0
Sperm Count: 28.000 (Reference 20-160) MILLN/ML 96.000
Motility: Aimless movement with slow forward progression Aimless movement with slow forward progression
%Motility: 60 (Reference 50-100) WOOHOO!!! 20L (L means abn. low)
Normal: 96 (Reference 60-100)% 86
Double Head: 0 (Reference 0-5)% 0
Giant Head: 3 (Reference 0-5)% 2
Pin Head: 1 (Reference 0-5)% 2
Spermatid: 3H (H means crit. high) <~~there shouldn't have been any
Coiled Tail: 3H (H means crit. high)<~~there shouldn't have been any
Amorphous Head: 2 Reference(0-15)%
My thoughts on this second analysis are this...I am so happy the percent of his motility went up, going from 20L to 60 is amazing and I am really excited about that, however, the comment that was made about his sperm having aimless movement with slow forward progression confuses me. How can the motility percent go up so much but they are still moving so slowly? I don't get that part at all. I also don't get why there was a yellow tinge to his specimen? hmmm, is that bad? also, I am happy to see he has more "normal" sperm, 1 less pin head, and no more spermatid, no more coiled tailed little guys and no more amorphous headed ones =) I have an appointment with my doctor in February and plan on taking these reports with me so I can get some better answers! My conclusion for now is that Conception XR really does work, and the hubbs will defiantly continue to take it!
i think sperm motility takes into account the percentage of all the moving sperms, whether they are rapid or slow-moving against the immotile ones, as there are sperms that don't move at all.
ReplyDeletein the results,i would probably interpret that as 60% of the sperms are now moving, although in slow progression.
Ashley, thats good to hear! I'm hope you can get your questions answered when you visit with your MD. By the way, I am loving your background! :)
