Firstly, Its important to know that when we are looking at a semen analysis, we are only looking at that sample. So if you have recently been unwell or have not abstained for the specified timeframe (3-5 days) then it may show an abnormal result. Your clinic team will recommend that you repeat the test so that they can compare the results. Additionally, each sample contains millions of sperm, so its likely that some of those will be abnormal. This does not mean that you can’t achieve a pregnancy, it may mean that you might need to look at fertility treatment to support your family plans. There are options and if your results are not as expected – then there are solutions available. You should also make sure that you are supporting your emotional wellbeing too and if you are able too – utilise clinic counsellors to support you on your journey.
