Australia IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation - Infertility Treatments Information

The normal values for semen test result:

Volume: >2.0ml
Concentration: >20 million/ml
Total Cells: >40 million
Motility: ~50%
Normal Forms: >14%
 
If one or more parameters of the test for semen results is not within the normal value, it is recommended to repeat the test several weeks later. Sperm is continually produced in the testes. Its production is affected by health such as fever, nutrition, stress level and other factors, and it takes about 2  months until the sperm matures. For this reason, a single poor sperm test may not be a true indication of the man’s fertility.

Additional factors that may appear on your sperm tests include:
-Semen Viscosity - Coagulated sperm should liquefy within an hour. If it does not, sometimes IUI will solve the problem.
-White & red blood cell counts - If these are abnormally high, antibiotics may be recommended.
-Sperm Agglutination - Sperm that clump together. This may be a sign of anti sperm anti bodies - when your own body mistakes your sperm as an external organism. Sperm agglutination can also be caused by infection.
