Your husband's doctor said that it would? I have the same problem...any insight?

To the best of my knowledge, clomiphene citrate (brand names Clomid and Serophene) does not affect a sperm's motility (that is, movement). It is very occasionally used in men to try and enhance the production of sperm, so it could theoretically improve the count.
However -- scientists are finding that morphology (i.e. shape) of sperm cells is most important.
"Count", or concentration of sperm cells in ejaculate, is of the least concern because it can be worked around easily through either artificial insemination (AI) or other techniques, including ICSI, in which only one sperm cell is necessary to attempt conception.

Cases of male infertility should be handled by either a reproductive endocrinologist or reproductive urologist (or both.)
