Volume - ok.
Count - nada. Maybe 1% of low motile swimmers at max.
This is a major bummer of course, but what I don't get is what is physiologically cause the count to go from substantial to substandard in 2 days. Unless this is just what happens with a low dose of Clomid after only 1 month.
To test this theory further, we were wondering if the numbers game of abstinence and shooting a large volume is actually causing the swimmers to die waiting in the bull pen.
So this weekend is a marathon round of research. Minus a round of sport last night, the goal is to get as many rounds under the microscope as possible. Round 3 was early this morning and the percentage looked similar to week 1 of Clomid. Round 4 was Saturday evening 5:00 PM and some of the views were above 100.
The volume of everything but the first round was between 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Round 1 was about a tablespoon.
Round 1: 54 hours of abs: Nothing 1% max
Round 2: (not viewed): 4 hours of abs
Round 3: 7 hours of abs: ~25 swimmers per high powered view
Round 4: 10 hours of abs: ~100 swimmers per high powered view (max) ~25 on average.
Round 5: 24 hrs of abs: ~100 swimmers per hpv (max) ~25 ave
OK- WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON BETWEEN ROUND 1 and 4?
Note on round 5 there were lots of views with 100 plus.
things i'm curious about
- Is this repeatable?
- What will the WHO tests tell me for the abs sample and the no abs sample? (at a hundred bucks a pop, I'm only curious enough to try one.)
I'll try one at some point, but may try daily views for a few more days before burning time on abs.
On the down side, the wife's cycle started today, so no baby from this past round :-(
