blood test

whelp, got the results of test #1, here goes....

volume = 2.3ml (normal = 2ml - 5ml)
count = 1.2million (normal = 75 - 150)
motility = 7% (normal = 80% - 100%)
abnormal = 88% (normal = <10%)

so, in essence, out of a whopping 1.2 million swimmers, a whopping 33.6k are healthy..... doc reeeeeally didn't wanna give me the results, he just kept saying "yeah, it was a little low and abnormal" until i insisted on hearing numbers, at which point he said "yeah, there probably is a problem, if you want i can have a T4 level done..... while we're at it, we may as well just do a CBC..... i should also do a thyroid and lipids panel just for good measure..... ya know, we should also do an SHBG...." lol..... the whole time, he's looking at my wife (she went with, i told her everything, she's actually being really supportive) and stammering, because he doesn't know how much she knows and he's trying not to freak her out, lol..... was kinda comical..... so today, i went and got the blood tests, and the doc agreed that if these are abnormal, he would send me to an endo for a karyotype, just to confirm what exactly is going on..... he couldn't believe that i haven't shaved in a month and have no hair on my cheeks, lol..... things are getting interesting, stay tuned
