TTC 10 months - found out low motility sperm

[Izus84]

Any advice / similar stories appreciated

Husband found out today that motility of sperm is on low side which could explain why it's not happening for us. However, it showed good quality and healthy sperm and NOT a low count. Next step is to test again just to check it wasn't just a 'bad day'. If the same again it may be IVF route doc says.

However I wonder if anyone else has had this and managed to improve motility themselves ? Husband is going to stop drinking alcohol to help, but otherwise he's a very healthy person.
May sound silly but would it help get them swimming faster by doing anything specific after sex?!! Eg shoulder stand! . any tips or advice would be great. Was feeling low this morning but at least we know what we're dealing with and it could be a hell of a lot worse

Didn't want to read and run. Definitely submit a second sample as the second one may be ok and the first a dodgy sample. I think you could definitely still conceive even if both samples are abnormal but may be more difficult. In a positive way at least there is a reason when you're not falling pregnant and you can get help - a lot of ppl ttc for a lot longer and no cause is found. Good luck x
