My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few months now. I’ve heard some old wives' tales about sperm consistency, but can the thickness of sperm actually affect the chances of pregnancy?

Bro, yes, thick semen is totally normal and definitely gets the job done. It usually liquefies after a few minutes anyway, so it doesn't affect fertility at all. Don't stress about it.
