Opinions on DH sperm analysis please!

[BrassicaBabe]

There really are no secrets left in the world are there?

Well, to finish off a total head fuck of a week can you give me your opinion on these sperm analysis results?

Motility: 66% (Rapid 37%, Sluggish 29%)
Non-motile: 31%
Sperm Count: 35.7
Total Sperm Count 91.7 (What?s the different between the two?!)
Morphology: 6%

The morphology one looks worrying to me.

Thanks

In reverse order...
Morphology - the percentage of sperm that "look normal". Working this out isn't an exact science by 6% is low.

Motility - ability of the sperm to swim in a sustained forward direction. There are a number of things he can do to improve this although 66% is normal.

Counts - number of sperm in a specified volume of semen. I think it's in millions per ml... someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Total count - the number of sperm in the entire ejeculate.

Those results are normal -trust me, I'm a freelance scientist!!

The morphology one is actually OK - the criteria are really strict. We don't worry about it in my clinic unless it is zero normal forms.

I can't read morphology without imagining lots of little plasticine Morphs swimming about

they are good results - the latest WHO figures for morphology are 4% so your DH figures are ok - my DH is at 4%.

motility should be 50% +

sperm count should be 20+

I would be happy with these figures.

Thanks guys. V interesting about the morphology.

Umm, I was panicing about nother - BFP yesterday.

But the cutting him down on alcohol was going to be my next move

was just reading your post BrassicaBabe congrats on the BFP!!x

Many congrats on your BFP.....and always trust a scientist over a clinician!!!
