Abstract
One or more semen analysis results were available for 195 men whose wives responded to ovulation induction with gonadotrophins performed at The Royal Women's Hospital since 1963. Fifty-three men (27%) has subnormal semen analyses by conventional criteria: sperm concentration less than or equal to 20 X 10(6)/ml, motility less than or equal to 40% or normal morphology less than or equal to 50%. The lifetable pregnancy rates were not significantly different for those with subnormal and normal semen (chi 2 = 0.169), by six cycles 64% (s.e.m. = 7) with subnormal semen had conceived compared with 59% (s.e.m. = 5) with normal semen. It appears that lower limits of semen quality could be relaxed for women needing ovulation induction with gonadotrophins.
