I'm Currently Feeling:  | A teaspoon of semen contains millions of sperm, so yes, it would be enough to get pregnant. |

so i cant see why not ( is what i am trying to explain)
hope this makes sense im sure i read it in a magazine or something. hth.x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Show him this website.....it says 2ml or more is normal. Considering that a teaspoon is 5ml.....I'd say your hubby is doing rather well!
Semen Analysis - What is normal ?
volume of ejaculate 2.0 ml or more
pH 7.2-8.0
sperm concentration 20 million per ml spermatozoa or more
total sperm count 40 million per ml spermatozoa per ejaculate or more
motility 50% or more with forward progression
morphology 30% or more with normal forms
vitality 75% or more live,i.e.,excluding dye
white blood cells fewer than 1 million per ml http://www.med-direct.com/mens-fertility/semen.html |
