I knew my lecture on IVF and such would come in handy....Normal sperm conforms to strict measurements and have a smooth oval head, a well defined acrosome (part of the head, won't get into details), slender, regular midpiece aligned with the head, and a uniform tail that is thinner than the midpiece but 10x longer than the head. "Normal" sperm means there is greater than or equal to 4% normal forms.<br /><br />Tapered = elongated head<br />Pinhead = head looks like the end of a nail (the end you hit)<br />bent heads = head is bent<br />amorphous = abnormal head shape, mixed shapes/morphologies<br /><br />Unfortunately, all of these types of "abnormal" shapes are indicative of problems with the sperm and therefore the SA would suggest for you to do ICSI (intracytoplasmic sprem injection) of a normal sperm they were able to extract from a sample or some other type of assisted reproduction where they select a "normal" sperm and directly inject it into an egg. <br /><br />Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions :) Nikki FletcherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736378844324415472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192817558099362815.post-88244664480227857562010-12-06T23:42:01.379-05:002010-12-06T23:42:01.379-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736378844324415472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192817558099362815.post-58021595980378114222010-12-06T23:41:28.512-05:002010-12-06T23:41:28.512-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736378844324415472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192817558099362815.post-48810600570300088172010-12-03T12:59:16.939-05:002010-12-03T12:59:16.939-05:00I wish I could help you but I have no idea what th...I wish I could help you but I have no idea what this means.
