Hi. This doesn’t really tell me much about your sperm. What percentage’s of motility and morphology have you got and how many sperm?? To help improve motility, you could try taking a multi vitamin tablet and also extra zinc and selenium. Also

Drink 2 litres of water daily. Drink less alcohol, in moderation, alcohol especially red wine, will not affect sperm quality. No smoking and avoid smoky places. Sleep more - 8 hours sleep helps replenish testosterone the male hormone. Ejaculate every 2 or 3 days, if not, then old sperm which deteriorates and affects quality of newer sperm. Exercise regularly, especially, weights which increases testosterone but avoid excessive exercise and cycling. Avoid heat, hot tubs, saunas, electric blankets, after showering, spray cold water on testicles. Check pants and trousers are not too tight. Limit mobile phone use and avoid putting in front trouser pocket next to testicles. Limit laptop as it heats testicles, get a laptop heat shield. Limit caffeine although Brazilian study shows moderate caffeine does not affect fertility. Excessive caffeine, even where the woman does not drink coffee, can cause miscarriages, low birth weight etc.

Hope this helps. Kind regards. Diane
