I got my dh's SA results back today. The only thing I can make out of it is Nonprogressive Motility. What the heck does that mean? I've been searching online for an hour trying to figure it out! This is why I didn't go into the medical field - it's a foreign language!
So anyone else know what this is or their dh have this prob? I'm gonna keep searching, but thought maybe u ladies could help me more.

Do you have a full analysis with all the numbers?

Normal results should with in the ranges listed below.


volume >=2.0 ml
concentration >= 20.0 x 10 6/ml
white blood cells < 1 x 10 6/ml
progressive motility >= 50%
normal morphology >=30%
progression (1 -slow to 4 - fast) >=3

This is what the paper that came in the mail says:

WBC/100 SPERM .. ........0
PH SEMAN.....................7
VOLUME........................2.5
SPERM CT.....................10
VISCOSITY....................Liquid
Motility...........................15L
Mobility Type..................Non progressive motility

That's it, well for the most part anyways.

So does that mean they don't swim or what??? Have you found anything else out?

I've been reading in my books all weekend and it seems like they swim in circles. Apparently dh's swimmers are a little on the DeeDeeDee side (Any Carlos Mencia fans?)

Let us know what the Dr tells you because I don't know anything about it.
