Successful operation: Motility %age now within normal range. Actual sperm count can vary with seminal fluid volume. Best to standardize sperm count by witholding ejaculation for 3 days prior to ejaculation. More recent or frequent ejaculation results in more dilute semen with fewer sperm. Good news is your latest motile sperm %age.
