Hi,

You have not mentioned sperm count. Regarding the motility: Normal sperm motility is defined as greater than 50 percent. When the motility falls between 25-50 percent on a single ejaculate, this may not reflect a problem. When the motility consistently falls below 25 percent, the chances of a problem are much higher. When the motility consistently falls below five to 10 percent, the chances that fertility is normal is highly unlikely.

And then there is the morphology: the percentage of sperm normally shaped. This should be 14% or higher. The average is 2-6%.

Pregnancy is less likely to happen normally in this case.

regards
