Low sperm motility. what should I do? please help!

I just found out that my husbands Sperm Motility is low.
We tried to concieve on our own for 12 months..nothing happened. So I went to the doctor and she sent me for all sorts of test(blood,ultrasounds,and they checked my tubes for blockage) everything was normal-good. so the doctor said I have no problems. My husband went for semen analysis and the doctor called yesterday and said that we need to go see her because my husbands sperm motility is low. I'm scared of what the doctor is going to tell us next week. is she going to tell us we can't concieve? has anyone been in this position before? what should I expect? is there other methods of concieving? Please help I'm really stressed by this news.
Thank You,
Mary

I found out my sperm was a 1/3 of what it should be and the motility has little to no forward progression. So after reading all this I will switch to boxers and use caffeine prior to intercourse along with following her cycle

My dear there'er somany of us out there with sm prob bt if u don't say it n one will know. My advice to u is worry less & pray more. Make sure u'er vry supportive to yr hubby cos men find it more difficult than women. I actually rem  mine after trying for almost 2yrs & the doc keeps on saying am fine from all tests,, i rem when she re-confirmed the 2nd time that my hubby had low concentration & motility!! The look on his face made me blush & i felt so bad for him, i had to giv him sm space to get over it..bt it made us stronger & more in love,,, i admire the way he couragously follow his appointments towards treatment & made lifestyle changes. Bt am not worried cos it can be cured vry easily..try him taking lots of brazil nuts cos thats what de doc adviced us to do while we wait for med help, also change all his tight pants & buy new free ones for him then lastly worry less & pray more. Be happy even for others who'er prego & socialise more if not u'll find it much more difficult to concieve & u'll lose many frnd. Goodluck to us all & may God bless us with our bundles of joy this 2013

Be prayerful & supportive cos for men it can be more difficult. I have been trying for 2yrsmyself, done all test which says am fine but my husbands tests show low concentration & motility. We love each other vry much bt honestly smtimes i worry but when i see how much he's trying to tk his doctor checks seriously & attend appointments...all i ask is for God to change our worries to hope & fears to happiness while we wait for our bundle of joy. Worry less! Pray more!...& be happy for those eho get prego if not u'll end up losing yr relationship with frnds & family & it will also mk it harder for u to concieve. Good luck to us all
