I don't know anything about that drug, but with my first husband, he only had 8% conceivable motility. I did a lot of research on herbs and off the top of my head, I do remember that Pygeum was good for motility. If you're interested in the herb thing, I can try to pull out my old notes to get the other ones.

Good Luck!

PLEASE post the herbs here! DH has teh same problem and we are doing all we can do here at home before having to go through IUI since our docs say that is what has to be done. We are still trying everyhting we can find here at home before having to make that journy! THANKS!!!!

My DH also has "crappy" sperm. We are doing a vitamin therapy which includes vit.A,C,Zinc (very important for men) and it also includes alot of other things. I know that pumpkin seed is in it also. Minouche? I think you are the expert on herbs. I also remember a thread about this not too long ago. I will check and see if I can find it.
