Key Metrics from Sperm Sample
Semen volume
Semen volume
Semen volume refers to the total volume of your sample, before you added the preservative. A clinical threshold of 1.4ml is often referred to as ‘sufficient’.
Total count
Total count
This indicates the number of sperm present in the sample. Total count is the total number of sperm.
Concentration
Concentration
Concentration is the number of sperm per milliliter.
Progressive motility
Progressive motility
Progressive motility is the percentage of sperm swimming forwards in a straight line. The clinical threshold for this is 30%.
Non-progressive motility
Non-progressive motility
Non-progressive motility is the proportion of sperm that are moving but not forward and straight, i.e. they may be going backwards or in a circle or just wiggling on the spot.
Total motility
Total motility
Total motility is the combination of progressive and non-progressive sperm.
Immotile sperm
Immotile sperm
Immotile sperm is the proportion of sperm that are not moving at all.
Vitality
Vitality
Vitality measures the proportion of sperm cells that are alive. It assesses whether the sperm membrane is intact and hence whether it is a viable sperm. Vitality focuses on viability, indicating the ability of the sperm to fertilise an egg.
Morphology
Morphology
Morphology measurement assesses the shape of the sperm, this includes the head, mid-piece and tail. A normal form requires all parts of the sperm to be normal in appearance. It is very common to have a very low percentage of normal forms within your sample.
Key Metrics from Blood Sample
DHEA sulphate
DHEA sulphate
A hormone made by the adrenal glands that supports testosterone production and overall hormone balance.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
A hormone from the brain that tells the testicles to make sperm. It helps us understand how well sperm production is working.
LH (Luteinising Hormone)
LH (Luteinising Hormone)
Another brain hormone that tells the testicles to produce testosterone.
Oestradiol (E2)
Oestradiol (E2)
A form of oestrogen. Men need small amounts, but higher levels can interfere with testosterone, libido, and fertility.
Total Testosterone
Total Testosterone
The main male hormone, important for sex drive, energy levels, mood, muscle strength, and sperm production.
Free Testosterone (Calculated)
Free Testosterone (Calculated)
The amount of testosterone your body can actually use. This often explains symptoms better than total testosterone alone.
Free Androgen Index
Free Androgen Index
(FAI) A simple calculation that helps estimate how much testosterone is available to your body.
Prolactin
Prolactin
A hormone that can affect testosterone levels. If it’s high, it may impact sex drive and fertility.
Albumin
Albumin
A normal blood protein that carries hormones around the body and helps us work out your active testosterone levels.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
A protein that binds to testosterone. If SHBG is high, less testosterone is available for your body to use; if it’s low, more is available.
