When is sperm of good quality?

21

It is not easy at all to determine the fertilizing capacity of sperm, because many factors influence. For example, semen must contain the necessary nutrients to feed and stimulate the sperm that swim in it, and these must be generated in high quantities, have normal anatomy and move properly. The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a series of criteria that define when semen is normal. They are as follows:

– Volume of semen in the ejaculate: from 1.5 to 5 ml.

– Number of sperm : more than 20 million per milliliter.

– Appearance of sperm: at least 35% must be normal.

– Sperm motility: You must be over 60%.

– Advancement capacity: At least +2, on a scale from 1 to 4.

– Number of white blood cells : less than 1 million per milliliter of semen.

– Sperm agglomeration : none .

The stories of cryptic pregnancies - those in which the woman does not know she is pregnant until the moment of delivery - have always seemed impressive to me, and the one that we will share today is not only impressive, but it fills us with hope and wonder.

The first two weeks are key to the success of pregnancy

The first two weeks are critical for the success of the pregnancy, since, during those 14 days after ovulation, the embryo has to implant in the uterus, and any irregularity can cause implantation failure or the death of the embryo, even before the woman is aware of her early pregnancy. This is how the experts from the MARGen clinic in Granada explain it in an article published in the magazine Frontiers.
