This is WAY TMI but wanted everyone's opinion here so if you get grossed out easily, do not read.
Have any of you really looked at dh semen before? The consistancy of it? I mean while giving oral sex of course not when bding ttc. My dh has very, very thick white semen almost like glue (sorry, lol) and it's super sticky when almost dry, it reminds me of this ewcm you all talk about (I don't get it at all) but it's a lot more white in color and globby. Awhile back when we first met (5 yrs. ago) his semen was like a bit more watery looking with some white and now it comes out in globs but super thick and I am a bit concerned. We've only been really trying since this cycle but using no protetion since June this year. He will not get tested yet as he said it's not been long enough since we've been ttc and I agree but anyone else's dh have this type of semen. I worry about the mobility of his sperm being able to swim in this thick stuff, there has to be sperm in it but my god it's so gross to me to touch and look at it.
Anyone noticed this about dh with oral sex (I would think most of you have given a bj and noticed what his semen looks like especially with ttc).
This may be to personal but I had to ask and I know some of you ladies will be brave enough to answer. It would really be helpful if someone got pg with dh's semen looking this way. Any comments, answers would be apprciated to put my mind at ease that his semen is probably fine.
Thanks so much...lol.

This is not good for the sperm, they are unable to swin through the semen and get to the cervix if the semen is to thick. If your DH refuses to get checked right now, ask him how long he considers a long time. Maybe you could compromise from there. My DH wasn't to happy about having to so a sperm analysis, and 2 more when the first showed a problem, but he will do it. It just may take some coaxing.
You never know though, I suppose its possible you could get pg with the semen like that, stranger things have happened!
Best of Luck!

It's funny that you mention that. With my ex his was watery most of the time and so I'd swallow (sorry if TMI). My DH on the other hand has that globby thick almost glue like semen and so I don't swallow AT ALL, one time I tried and threw up. Oh this is so TMI! Yikes.
I think some guys just have different semen genetics and it is probably normal. If we don't get pg soon I'll have him go in for a work up.

Maybe he just needs to drink more water. Just like us drinking plenty can help CM, I bet it can help his thick semen too! See if you can get him to try that for a bit and then pay attention to see if it makes a difference. If he doesn't like water just find some good water based fluids (not carbonated) like juices, milk, gatorade, etc.

Have him really up his intake of water and see if that helps.
How often are you having sex? Question being, if he is not "letting them loose" very often are they thicker, or if he is *giggle* letting them loose very often are they not as thick? (hopes that makes sense)
That is an easy do it at home check. I know my DH's is much thicker when he is not drinking enough water.
Also - I really just wanted to add that topics like this are why I love this board! I couldn't talk about this with my too many other people! ;)
