This sperm is not a normal one. But you seem to have a problem concerning the way of making the analysis. The sperm must be given directly and IN the laboratory to immediate analysis. And it's better to choose a laboratory which is specialize in this exam.

SO, you have to do it again, but to go to a laboratory which can do it itself.
