There are no doctors on this thread but ttc dads and mums.Count of 18m is not too bad. Latest WHO approved minimum level is 15m. However, other scales are not good. Motility should be at least 50%. Your morphology is excellent. then viscosity is watery, not good but no an issue. If the count is increased and motility improves, you wouldn't have any issue. In summary, work on your count and motility. Change your feeding habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise, rest, keep away from artificial sugar, you can use pure honey or BSM, wear loose boxers, and keep your family jewel always cool. Keep away from cigarettes and alcohol. You can add supplements for faster effect. People use Fertilaid for men, count boost, motility boost, or you can use only fertility blend for men. Don't forget to visit your doctor for more investigations if no much improvement after 3months. You may be required to run hormonal assay or check for obstruction. Hope your wife also ran her tests, it takes 2 to tango.

thanks Miraclebaby, its as if you can see me from afar, i have changed my habits of recent in order to improve my sexual health. i dont smoke nor do much alcohol, i really suspect the stress of work taking its toll on me as well as the lack of exercise. just like you said, my wifey and myself are in this together, we have both undergone hormonal assay test as well as as others. i will discuss the issue of supplements with my doctor.

i really appreciate you.

regards

thanks Omicron,

to answer your questions, i dont smoke, i do take alcohol like some few occasions in a year, definitely not an addict. i dont take recreational substances, i aint overweight, please shed more light on BMI for my sake

i must confess i have taken a lot of carbonated drinks due to the nature of my job and the stress involved, tryna work on that i swear. i have begun incorporating lots of fruits and veggies in my diet and take to other advice, especially rhe exercise aspect.

thanks bro, i appreciate your advice.

Favoured234 already said most of it.

Your sperm count is slighlty below normal range, but this is not the biggest issue: people conceive from far lower sperm counts.

Sperm motility is the most important determinant of male fertility, and yours is very low at 5%.

Do you smoke? Quit if you do.

Do you drink alcohol? Quit if you do.

Do you take recreational substances? Quit if you do

Overweight? Optimise your weight. Target BMI between 20 - 25kg/m2

Develop an active lifestyle: exercise daily or at least 3 times a week, register in a gym or do some road works

Eat right. Avoid junks including too much caffeinated and carbonated drinks.

More fruits and vegetables (extremely important). These provide large chunks of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that improve sperm health.

Ask your doctor about vitamin and mineral supplementation, especially vitamin c, e, folic acid and zinc.

Above all, maintain a positive and stressless mental attitude. Stress will adversely affect the outcome.

Repeat your seminal fluid analysis quaterly to follow your progress.

All the best.

thanks Favoured!

What does the test result mean?


The typical volume of semen collected is between 1.5 and 5.5 milliliters (mL) of fluid per ejaculation. Decreased volume of semen would indicate fewer sperm, which diminishes opportunities for successful fertilization and subsequent pregnancy. Excessive seminal fluid may dilute the concentration of sperm.

The semen should initially be thick and then liquefy within 15 to 30 minutes. If this does not occur, then it may impede sperm movement.

Sperm concentration (also called sperm count or sperm density) is measured in millions of sperm per milliliter of semen. Normal is at least 20 million or more sperm per mL, with a total ejaculate volume of 80 million or more. Fewer sperm and/or a lower sperm concentration may impair fertility. Following a vasectomy, the goal is to have no sperm detected in the semen sample.

Motility is the percentage of moving sperm in a sample and graded based on speed and direction travelled. At least 50% should be motile one hour after ejaculation, moving forward in a straight line with good speed. The progression of the sperm, best measured using an automated system, is rated on a basis from zero (no motion) to 4, with 3-4 representing good motility. If less than half of the sperm are motile, a stain is used to identify the percentage of dead sperm. This is called a sperm viability test.

Morphology analysis is the study of the size, shape, and appearance of the sperm cells. The analysis evaluates the structure of the sperm, whereby greater than 50% of those cells examined must be normal in size, shape, and length. The more abnormal sperm that are present, the lower the likelihood of fertility. Abnormal forms may include defective heads, midsections, tails, and immature forms. More than 14% should have normal heads. To see an image of a normal sperm, see the MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia page on sperm.

Semen pH should be between 7.2 and 7.8, fructose at 150-600 mg/dL, and there should be fewer than 2000 white blood cells per mL. A pH of 8.0 or higher may indicate an infection, while a pH less than 7.0 suggests contamination with urine or an obstruction in the ejaculatory ducts.

dear Docs in the house,

please assist to analyse my results below and advice;

Sperm Count - 18million
morphologhy - (90% normal & 10% abnormal)
Viscousity - watery
PH - 6.0
Motility - (5% actively progressive, 5% sluggish & 90% percentage dead)

please i need, my wife and myself are trying real hard and its been a while already.

i will appreciate useful suggestions as my doctor is not helping matters as well.
