False semen analysis result

Ttc, I've had half my tests and awaiting other half, DH has done his test and the results are REALLY bad- less than 1 million in the sample but it was only 0.5ml and he still had 50% motility and 48% forward progression. Spoke to the specialist nurse who said this is really unusual to have low count but high motility and it may be just a one off bad sample due to 'circumstances on the day' (!) and re test. Has anyone else had this? Really hoping it's a false result as if not it's really bad :(

Hi MrsMick,

Rest assured - she could be right. My partners results as follows
Test 1
3.5ml Semen
1.7mil sperm per ml of semen
17.6% progressive motility
Unrecognisable morphology

Test 2
4ml Semen
10.5mil sperm per ml of semen
61.9% progressive motility
36.40% morphology

As you can see, vastly different. My GP is happy with second set of results but I will be pushing for 3rd just to be sure.

Lots of luck

Can't remember the details if DHs analysis but the first 2 samples were very bad. We then went to an IVF clinic and they did another test which came back as totally 'normal'.
So can be big changes! Good luck
