Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
The semen analysis report is normal. At all time at least 50% of sperm should have forward movement.
Though still useful, the test is not perfect, as it fails to accurately predict fertility status in certain situations.
If you collect the semen sample at home, the sample must be received at the laboratory or clinic within 1 hour. Keep the sample out of direct sunlight and do not allow it to get cold or hot.
Since semen samples may vary from day to day, 2 or 3 different samples may be evaluated within a 3-month period for accurate testing.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
