Dr. Frank Yelian answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

It is normal: After ejaculation, glue like semen is normal. If you wait for a while, the semen will become liquid. As long as semen analysis shows normal your chance of conceiving is still good. Alternatively, you may tray IUI if failed conceive for one year.
