My Husband And I Have Decided To Start Down The

My husband and I have decided to start down the path of conception. This will require a tubal reversal for my self, and all that it entails. Naturally we intend to have a semen analysis done as a part of the process. However I was curious about something, and am too impatient to wait for a definitive answer. My husbands ejaculate is very think and " clumpy " ,for lack of a better word. He said that it has always been this way. Also he said that he had taken an over the counter semen analysis (??), that gave a result of "low count". He is very healthy and stays hydrated. Is there anything that could contribute to this, and is this going to be an issue for us if we attempt conception?
