Hi,
The way they express the count is stupid, but I think that equates to 116 million total sperm. Divide that by the 3.0 ml volume and this gives you approx 38.5 million per ml. Normal is above 20 million per ml, so he's OK in that department. If the 116 million figure was per ml then he is absolutely cracking.
The volume is normal (2 - 6ml)
Morph. is good.
Motility isn't too bad. Yes it's under normal, but not by a hell of a lot. What this means is that through natural conception, you may experience a longer time frame in order to conceive as less sperm are able to make it to your eggs, therefore statistically it will take more cycles.
Be aware that motility and count are variable and in a month's time this could be better.
Also be aware that if your DH is reassessed by a FS, they may assess the sample under much stricter guidelines regarding morphology. So if you get a much lower reading for morph. don't necessarily be alarmed.
My reading of his sample is that IUI is an option, or extending your TTC period is another option. IVF is of course a possibility, but that may be premature.
A new vitamin mix called Menevit (which is due to be released this week to pharmacies) is supposed to have a positive effect on motility through clinical trials. You may wish to discuss this with an FS, or purchase some anyway. It's a multi-vitamin designed for male fertility, not a prescription drug.
Do not despair.
