Any possiblity?

Hello,

Let's suppose that you followed guide line to collect your sperm in a cup provided without having any issue.
I understand that this sperm collection should be analyzed right after couple of hours for correct result.
However, let's say you just placed your collected cup on your desk sitting there for about 7 or 8 hours..then
the analysis of sperm just started via microscope.....
In this case, if you were healthy and normal, would every sperm still be supposed to move even after 7 or 8 hours of you collection?
OR most(every) sperm would be supposed to dead, so they are not supposed to move even for healthy or normal people because of 7 or 8 hours quite long time difference??

Hello,

Really? if all of sperm were dead and not moving after that amount of time, then could there be higher chance that may cause my fertility issue?
I thought that that was pretty much long time, so every sperm was supposed to dead, so no movement at all......am I wrong??

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The chances of sperm motility decreasing can occur if the specimen is not analyzed or used within a few hours. The less time it takes for the insemination, the better. At least 40 per cent of the sperm should be moving and if the percentage is very much less than this, fertility may be affected. And at least 55 per cent of the sperm also needs to have normal form and shape

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
