Donors needed healthy levels of three things that can make conception more likely: sperm concentration, or the amount of sperm released when men ejaculate; sperm morphology, meaning the ideal size and shape with an oval head and a long tail; and motility, or the ability of sperm to move through the female reproductive tract to reach an egg.

|
There are four main aspects to sperm quality: sperm count, meaning the concentration of sperm in a sample of semen; sperm morphology, which refers to the size and shape of sperm cells; sperm motility, which is how effectively sperm can swim; and semen volume, as a minimum amount of the stuff is needed to get the sperm it contains through the female reproductive tract.
