Moving sperm : The semen analysis typically provides data on semen volume, sperm count, motility and morphology (appearance). The caveat with the semen analysis is that it can't predict fertility. That means sperm capability of fertilizing an egg cannot be assessed. There is an argument that low morphology may potentially predict low fertilization rate.
