Semen test results-please help
Hi
My husband [who also has a small variocele] and I have been trying to conceive for about 2 years. I have been pregnant twice but they both ended in miscarriages.
I have had tests and everything is fine so the doctor said my husband should have a semen analysis done just to be sure, although he said it should be fine as I am able to conceive.
So the results came back and reception told us the results were satisfactory. Regardless we wanted them explained and printed so we booked an appointment to see the doctor.
He told us that this was an error and in fact they were NOT satisfactory!!! Obviously really annoyed and emotional. He said count was fine but motility was not and the sample was insufficient to analyse morphology. He needs to do another test to compare.
So here's the breakdown;
Appearance-will be filed as 741..00 Faeces examination[WHY IS THIS IN THE RESULTS?!]-general Normal
Semen sample volume-3.0 mL
Total sperm count- 37 10*6/mL [doctor said this is normal should be from 15]
Sperm motility-6% [not good should be from 40%]
Morphology [normal forms] will be filed as 4956.00 sperm morphology Insufficient for analysis
Another test will be done but my question is; it possible motility may be higher in the next test? Why do the results mention Faeces?! The doctor said morphology results might indicated why I have been miscarrying.
Any input would be great because it will be about 3 weeks until the 2nd results are in, so I am going a bit crazy at the moment! Thanks

Hello river123 and thank you for posting in our forums.
Really sorry to hear your story .... I hope some of our visitors to the forum may be able to offer you some guidance.
I know it's a long way off but we are running an online clinic on men's health later this year. At that time we will have a panel of medical experts on hand to answer questions.
Keep in touch.
