    Some parts of the test I am not sure about but others I will tell you what I know (which isn't alot)

    To start with it sounds like the test was done less then 2days from prior ejaculation. Is that right? Ideally a test should be attended approx 3days from the previous ejaculation to get the best picture.

    A volume of 0.5mls is very small (the amount of semen/sperm) and I don't think a volume that size would be an accurate amount to test from. Perhaps your partner either doesn't have very much semen each time he ejaculates, the test was done too close to the prior ejaculation or he hasn't caught every last drop he could if you know what I mean. When attending the test it is best to get as much in the speci pot as possible. You yourself might know approximately the average amount of semen he has from past intercourse ie does it seem like alot, small, varies from one love making session to another etc. Perhaps its just a very small amount that one time he did the test.

    As for non motile the results indicate that non of the sperm are swimming so they basically swim but dont move. I do not know what causes this and how that can be changed. Perhaps there is a simple reason for this like the temperature was not ideal and the swimmers were dying by the time it was tested. It should be tested as soon as possible from the ejaculation before 1hr although in the right environment it can be left longer.

    For your next test/ partners I'd ensure all the right techniques are used to ensure an accurate analysis can be obtained. To me 77% abnormal forms is exceptable to achieve a pregnancy as is the amount per mil although I would be hoping the volume per ejaculation was much larger then 0.5ml. I really hope the first test was just a bodgy one and this next one shows a percent of motile sperm and a larger volume. To get an accurate description you really need atleast 2 or 3 tests to compair so try not to panick too much until you have the next lot of results. Are you seeing a FS, Gyno or GP? Let me know how you go.
