What does poor sperm progression mean?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Your motile sperm count is 2.97 m/ml, and post-wash it is 3.0 m/ml. A motile sperm count of 5.0 m/ml or more is good.

• Poor progression means the forward speed is low. However, poor progression is relevant if you try natural conception. In IUI (intrauterine insemination), sperms are directly injected into the uterine cavity and this factor becomes less important. The overall success rates for IUI are 30 to 50 % and varies from center to center.

• Though your motile sperm count is low, yet you have some chance of success. Remember, even with good counts one may not get success.

• Meanwhile, follow these tips:

1. Keep away from heat, chemicals, and smoking zones.
2. Avoid keeping the laptop on lap.
3. Wear loose undergarments.
4. Keep your testes cool by pressing them with a wet towel for five to 10 minutes daily.
5. Eat green vegetables and fruits.
6. These measures will increase your parameters.

• Yes, they need progression. Yours are not immobile. They are moving, albeit slowly.

• What is seen in the lab is to get an idea. But, once inside the female genital tract, the sperms change a lot and acquire the capacity to fertilize and move forward.

• But all said one cannot predict the success of IUI beforehand.

• No, it cannot be done. If you want to travel, then you have to deposit the semen sample at the lab to be cryo (cold) preserved. At room temperature, the sperms lose their speed within a few hours.
