- Volume: 2.8 mL (should be > 2.0 mL)
- Concentration: 161 million/mL (should be > 20 million/mL)
- Total Motility: 45% (should be > 50%)
- Progressive Motility: 23%
- Total Progressive Motile Sperm: 104 million
- Normal Morphology (WHO): NA (should be > 30%)
- Pre-IVF Kruger Strict Morphology: 8% (ICSI recommended if < 6%)
- Round Cells/mL: < 5 million / mL (should be < 5 million/mL)
- pH: 7.2 (should be > 7.2)
- Viscosity: Slight increased viscosity
- Liquefaction: < 50 minutes (should be < 60 minutes)
- Aggregation: Absent (should be absent to slight)
- Agglutination: Absent (should be absent)
- WBC: < 1.0 million/mL (should be < 1.0 million/mL)
- Impression: Abnormal - Normal sperm concentration, mild decrease in total sperm motility, normal progressive sperm motility and normal morphology by strict criteria at 8% which is an improvement into normal rage compared to previous semen analysis at outside laboratory.
- Recommendations: Assisted Reproductive Technologies: I recommend ICSI with IVF therapy due to mild decrease in sperm morphology.
My wife's ultrasound was uneventful - her follicles are still too small to count. She goes back in on Thursday. Will post an update then - hopefully we'll have a follicle estimate, and a verdict on our meds (i.e. to modify dose, and/or to begin Ganirellix)

They are pretty good figures, motility slightly below the ideal mark, but you have such a high count that your NUMBER of motile sperm, as opposed to percentage is really high.
The numbers are what count, not the percentage, they are guidelines.
best of luck
