So the doctor didn't really explain or help much with understanding the results. I was able to get a pretty good idea based on researching and what the "normal" results. To me, it looks like he has A LOT of sperm, but has low normal forms, and high abnormal.
Also, this was his first time ever masturbating, so it was a lil awkward for him. Not sure if that could have an effect on his results or not.
From the paper, this is what the results say-
The doctor says we should be able to get pregnant with this without IUI, but for some reason we haven't the past 11 or so times I have ovulated. We are going to do an IUI because my insurance covers it.
I basically just need help figuring out what it means, it seems like there isn't a lot of normal sperm. What causes that? And why did the liquefaction take so long? If anyone could help me, that would be awesome.
