what on earth does this sperm analysis mean?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I know this forum talks more about women's fertility issues but could I get some feedback on these semen analysis results? I want to have some general idea of what they mean BEFORE I have to digest everything the endocrinologist has to say about it.

Sperm, agglutinated: 1+ : Out of Range

Round Cells, seminal fld: 1.3

Viscosity/Consistency, seminal fld: NORMAL

Sperm count: 227.9

RBC, seminal fld: NONE

Liquification, seminal fld: NORMAL

Motility, sperm: 72

Total Volume, seminal fld: 6.0 (Normal Range = 1.5 to 5.0): Out of Range

pH, seminal fld: 8.0

Collection Time, seminal fld: 0900

Sperm Morphology : 51 : Out of Range

Days of Abstinence: > 10

Comment (Heme Specimen): Some Lost in Collect

Collection method, seminal fld: Direct in Container

Comments (Sperm Count): INCREASED FORMS WITH COILED TAIL.

That's everything exactly as it is written on the report. Truthfully, we were expecting something much worse; our donor is on domperidone for gastroparesis and we were told to prepare for the possibility he would have no fertility at all. His prolactin right now is 19.8, testosterone 122, and prolactin 19. The prolactin is up a teensy bit and the testosterone down 13% since April.

I don't know squat about semen analysis (DH was clean) but it interests me! Hope the link helps a little!
