SA Results - need a chart for reference

in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

I just got DH's SA results back.  Count is 132 Million, which she said is normal.  Motility is 39% which is low.  She said we need to repeat the test and may need to look at IUI.  Does anyone has a chart I can reference?

    Well, i tried to see what Dr Google would bring up and I couldn't seem to find a chart.

    However, Dr Goggle did just teach me that there are home SA kits. Yeah. Really.

    I'll keep looking for a chart for you :)

    Thanks Google isn't giving me a chart either :(  A home kit, I just don't know about that.

    Lurking...

    SA NUMBERS
    normal range:


    Volume: 1-5


    Concentration: >20


    %motile: >40%


    progression: 1=slight,4=rapid linear (3 or 4 is good)


    BFP #1 via IUI ~ L (Fatal Birth Defect) 4/7/10
    BFP #2 via IUI ~ m/c
    BFP #3 via cancelled IUI ~ C (2lb 3oz; HELLP) 5/16/11
    BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12

    132 million is a great count!  39% motility is a bit low but it's not terrible.  My DH's was around 40-45% with both our BFP IUI's. 

    I like this blog, lots of helpful info.  This article is basically about morph but it also mentions the guideslines for count and motility.  Says normal count is 20 million and normal motility is 40%.  https://infertilityblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/sperm-morphology-new-guidelines.html

    I called back to get the morphology, and its 8%, she said they want to see at least 30%.  Not great.

    :( I'm sorry. Don't be too discouraged though. S/A results can change a fair bit from test to test. Talk to your RE, maybe there's something DH can do, like cool showers, looser undies etc

    I think she is crazy.  See the article posted above. I think 8% is great!

    My DH's morphology was 2%, and we have had 2 pregnancies, one successful.  RE says we need IUI for that plus my issues, but even 2% is not a game ender.

    Wha?!?

    DH has morph of 12% and the nurses are always going on about his "super sperm". Both RE clincs I've been to have said that those morph numbers are "great". 30%?!? I didn't even think that was possible.

    Hmm, now I'm confused.  I guess we'll wait and see what the second test shows then figure it out.

    I don't know a lot about this stuff, but hopefully you get it figured out and next one is even better.
