Low Sperm Count

[Saskatoon]

My husband has low sperm motility, not low sperm count.  Is there a difference?  I've heard that you should only have intercourse every second day if you have low sperm count.  Would this be the same for low sperm motility as well?  Motility is the amount of sperm that are actually moving towards the egg.  He only has 19% progressive (good), 14% non progressive (swimming, but not necessarily towards the egg), and 68% immotile (not moving at all).  Any ideas?

I would double check with the DR but probably every other day is good.  DH had a low volume but everythign else was a-ok and we got BFP this cycle and cut back to every other day the week before O :O)  good luck super sticky baby dust
