S/A Results
I know these questions are things that I will more than likely be discussing with my RE next year but I would love some opinions from you lovely ladies since January is so far away.
So, even though we aren't moving forward to an RE until next year, my DH went ahead and did the s/a since he had already set it up with his doctor. He hasn't spoke with his doctor about the results yet but the nurse did call him with his numbers so he could give them to me. His count, volume, and viscosity all seem good...from what I have read anyway, but his motility is low (20%-30%). They didn't test morphology at all.
With 20-30% motility, would it even be worth it to try a round of Clomid or would it be better to just move straight on to IUI? I know there are things we can do to try and increase it but this question is going on the assumption that nothing worked.
Also, isn't morphology something that is commonly tested during an s/a?

Re: S/A Results
I don't really have any advice regarding the motil percentages. It's still entirely possible for it to happen through TI, your chances are just lower (obviously). I don't know enough about that aspect to know if it's "worth it" or not, but it's definitely something I'd want to discuss with an RE to get better clarification on before moving forward with any sort of treatment.

I agree with the others.. that's ridiculous that they didn't test everything.
That said, you can do Clomid with IUI, you know. And it might be something to ask your doc about anyway. For example, with my RE, if you do Clomid the office/monitoring price is the same for IUI as it is for TI. We went with IUI simply because it upped our chances a bit more.. might as well get the bang for your buck! But your RE may not do that, so it's definitely something to ask. Either way, I'd probably have the s/a redone and get them to test everything. I would even call the doc who did this one and say "um, you didn't test this so you need to do it again and actually test EVERYTHING and the cost is on you this time". It's worth a shot anyway! GL
