SO, I wanted to know if dh's results are good. Any opinions? I haven't made follow up with RE yet. Next week hopefully.

My dh's sperm count-50.0 mil/mL

Motility A 65%
Grade B sluggish/slow-9%
Grade C 4%
Grade D which is non-motile-22% (YIKES)

Morphology-89% (normal is >30% oval heads)
Only weird thing is his pH is 8.5 (7.5-8.0)

I tried looking up info on internet.
Any opinions? I dk what the prob is with us. One yr now of trying. UGH!

My levels-

prolactin 8.1
FSH 6.8
estradiol <10

I guess the only way to ease my mind is to talk with the RE.

Glad everything looked good for you. My DH looked not so good. Hope the RE can help you.

everything sounds good... I have no idea about the PH though

Gosh I don't know!

I did a little research and found this - which was interesting:

PH
Normal is 7.2-7.8, which is alkaline. A higher pH is associated with an infection in the prostate. The pH of the vaginal tract is low (acidic), about 3-4, while the pH of the pre-ovulatory cervical mucus is generally greater than 7. Sperm in the vagina does not last longer than 1-2 hours. In the pre-ovulatory mucus sperm can often survive for 2 or more days since the pH and other mucus characteristics are friendly to sperm.

So...basically if your CM and his sperm are not similar in PH, then the sperm can't survive.
