Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor.First, the seminal report was not a complete one. It lacks the total quantity of to ejaculate, liquefaction time, viscosity, color and total sperm count etc. Regarding the total cellular count whether it is white blood cells or something else was not mentioned. How many days' abstinence was observed before collection of semen. That is also very important. With the available data, if the rapid progressive motility of the sperm is more than 60%, it will be a good quality one to make you conceive earlier. Similarly, the normal sperms must be 70-80% and not less than that. By a detailed examination of your husband and with other investigations we can find the reasons for this mild defects. Repeat the semen examination in another good laboratory with 3-4 days of abstinence. Wish you an earlier pregnancy... Chat Doctor. Morgan
