Is 70 Sperm Motility Good

Sperm count: at least 20 million per milliliter (m/mL) Sperm motility, or the ability to move rapidly: 60% to 80% actively moving. Sperm morphology, or the sperm’s shape and size: 70% to 90% normally shaped.

Is 70 percent sperm motility good?

Not all of those sperm, however, are expected to be completely healthy. A total motile sperm count over 20 million is considered to be normal. Lower than 5 million is poor sperm motility. Less than 1 million is severe poor sperm motility.

What should be the motility of sperm to get pregnant?

For the sperm to get through the cervical mucus to fertilize a woman’s egg, they need to have progressive motility of at least 25 micrometers a second. Poor sperm motility or asthenozoospermia is diagnosed when less than 32 percent of the sperm are able to move efficiently.
