Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of semen analysis is as follows:
The volume of semen sample is normal.
the liquefaction time for semen is increased. Normal semen should liquefy within 20-60 minutes.
Increased liquefaction time occurs due to infection or presence of inhibitors in semen.
The pH and morphology are within range.
The sperm count is also low. Sperm count should be more than 15 million / ml.
The motility is low. The motility should be at least 40 % which includes progressive and non-progressive motility.
Thus, Chances of conception reduce if motility of the sperms is low.

Thanks and take care
