Recently have had some test done and wifes in the clear , but i have been told after a siemen analysis that my sperm cells are non motile, ie cannot swim!! or struggle to climb up!!, thats how the doc put it !!!.
can anyone recommend or point me to the right direction for rectifieng low sperm count or curing non motile sperm!!!. ive been looking on google and theirs all sorts of herbs and pills out their , but not too keen to try them as some can do more damage than actually cure .

My husband has low motility but a good count. The specialist told him to use menevite which you can get from the Chemist (well alot of chemists) its specific to male fertility and similar to those available to women. Its about $70 for a 3month supply bottle.
He also said some men are at risk of sperm damage due to their lifestyle and jobs. For example truck drivers especially as the motor is often under the seat which keeps the testicles too hot and damages the sperm and sperm production. So by trying to keep the testes cool, no tight undies etc is also benificial to increase the quanity and quality of whats produced.
I am not sure on diet except to avoid cigarettes, beer and coffee, coke/fizzy drinks or caffeine stuff.
Sperm takes 3months to regenerate so unfortunately its not something you can do for a few weeks and see improvements. By seeing what things you might do that could be effecting your sperm health and reducing them might see a dramatic improvement in 3months. They say what you do now will effect the sperm you have 3months from now if that makes sense.
Are all the sperm non motile or just a large percentage of them?
IVF is always an option with sperm abnormalities as they can take a select good quality sperm and inject it straight into the egg which maximises the fertilise rate. Of course this isn't an easy option as it is very costly and does not guarantee success in achieving pregnancy.
Good luck. Hopefully some changes will help improve sperm count and motility.
Emmy thank you very much for your reply- much much appreciated. As i am in the UK My sprm 50% is motile, but rest isnt. As i am in the UK i dont think i can get MENEVITE her. I thnik it is only in the Ausy market. If i send you $70 + shipping cost , would you be kind enoough to post some to me please..
I'm sure there are equivalent products available in the UK to Australia. Customs might be bit funny about pills and potions being sent overseas. If you went to a chemist to discuss it with them I'm sure they would be able to help. You need to be aware that certain vitamins etc react with other medicines so it's important to discuss your individual needs with a professional.
When your doctor told you you had non-motile sperm he/she should have discussed in more detail with you could do if anything to improve this. I'd be giving the doctor another call!
I could do that for you but it would probably be easier for you to order it online and get them to post it out. Ill try find an Australia Chemist outlet where you can buy it online and have it posted out to the UK direct from the shop. Ill go try find a place that sells it and add the link.
Oh yeah I dont know how you would go with customs. I can tell you all the ingredience in the menevite so you can find a similar product in the UK.
LT-TTC 2 years + non motile sperm cells!!
