Has anyone used one of these? You can find them in Walgreen for about $40 and they test the sperm count?
We got one and finally used it tonight. You have to put the "sample" into the cup with these specks that liquify it and then after 15mins you add 1 drop to the well and then wait 1 min and add 2 drops of a blue solution and wait 1 min and then at 1 drop of the clear solution and wait 1 min and read the results. If the count is at 20million or better it will be atleast the same color as the control well or darker. Well, DH's was about 10 shades darker so I guess he is okay :teehee You are suppose to redo the test in like 3 more days to make sure you get the same result. So, I guess him sperm count it good to go but he said he is worried his swimmers are "retarded" his words I swear :screwy I told him not to worry I was the only broken one in this scenario. Which I am glad he is good but hate I am broke.... it kind of sunk in even more that I am the reason its been close to 18mths with no baby and a misscarriage.... :sigh

Thanks Hun! My DH is such a goober! :P
I mean I guess there still could be something more wrong with him like he has a could sperm count but they are slow and die before reaching the egg or something like that, but only a S/A from the Dr will clarify that, but Im sure that he is a-ok. I mean he did get me pregnant one time...

You're not broken! There are many reasons why you might not be conceiving right now. It's very good that you have conceived before, even if you didn't carry it to term. That shows that you can! And that's good! Hang in there and keep trying! I'm glad that DH's sperm is good. (L) Hang in there :hug:
