The other thing I would say is that if you do have a problem (eg low count/motility etc) - you would much rather hear this from a proper doctor than from emotionless AI in an app.Normal sperm tests track the volume (amount of semen), concentration (how many sperm cells you have per millilitre of semen, motility (the amount of moving sperm cells), and total motile sperm count (the total amount of moving sperm cells in one ejaculate).

Together, we're committed to breaking down barriers and making the journey to parenthood more accessible for all.
