I posted about this on another post but wanted to share cuz I thought it was really neat! On a whim, immediately after dtd earlier this month, while still lying in bed, I put a little smear on my saliva microscope and lo and behold, DH and I could both see the spermies swimming all over the place! You can even see their little tails wagging! My son has a crappy microscope that I have tried to look at with slides and it has never worked. The Ovulite worked amazing!
So we checked in a few different situations:
In a fresh sample with no LR, like 90% are swimming around and you can see bazillions of them!
After 10 days of abstinence and LR, I can see tons of sperm but half of the sperm do not move at all, I assume they are dead.
When we just had to do a compressed FR, where DH released on his own 2x and we dtd all within about 10 hours, again about 50% were not moving.
Now please don't assume you can see ANY difference between X and Y sperm - that is impossible - but we could DEF see a difference in motility!!
