Thamkyou for your reply,
I understand what you are saying, but would still like to know if the
TOTAL volume of semen would be 42.5 million, if the amount is 17
million/ml in a 2.5ml specimen...is this how it works out,
Also, are you implying, by those figures that many couples who achieve
preg, probably have borderline semen counts, and we just never know?
Thankyou for your reply,
