My other half has just dropped the bombshell that he has lower than average sperm motility....I think he said 35%. Should I be worried? I'm 37, had early miscarriage at 6 and a half weeks 3 months ago after we'd been trying for 3 months, and still not pregnant...so guess that means I've been pregnant once in 6 months of trying. I'm not sure how bserious this is and his test was several years ago with a previous partner. Not sure what to say or do or what my chances are!?

My DH and I had the same problem, we TTC'd for 2.5 years before conceiving our DS now 7mths. Best advice is that your other half should get checked again... then the Dr will prob tell you there's nothing they can do. We did loads of research and the most successful supplement is proxeed (google it) the active ingredients are basically multi vits and a supplement called l-carnitine. My DH took this for 6 months (life cycle of sperm) and the result was DS... TBH it could have been coincidence but DH had motility of less than 10% so a non-drug supplement can't have done any harm at all.
Best of luck to you x
