Home / Calculators / Male fertility / Post-wash TMSC
Every calculator in one place, free and with no sign-up. Results show instantly — we don't hide them behind a form. Each one explains what the number means, where the reference ranges come from, and what it cannot tell you.
A calculator sees three or four figures. A specialist sees your history, your scans, your partner's results, and how you actually responded to treatment. If you're between cycles, changing clinics, or something in your results doesn't add up, a second opinion is the fastest way to find out whether anything would be done differently.
Free first consultation. No obligation to start treatment, and it doesn't affect your care at your current clinic.
These tools provide general information and are not a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a qualified clinician. Reference ranges and sources are stated on each calculator. Predictive estimates describe groups of people and cannot predict an individual outcome.

The prepared-sample figure units actually use for IUI decisions.
Exact calculationArithmetic on the numbers you enter. If your inputs are right, this figure is right.
Post-wash total motile sperm count is measured after laboratory preparation and is the figure units actually use for IUI decisions. Common thresholds sit between 5 and 10 million; it is typically lower than the pre-wash count.

That falls in the 5–10 band.
Your result of 8.0 million sits in the highlighted band. Bands are reference points used alongside clinical findings — not a diagnosis.
Around the threshold most units use. Many will proceed with IUI in this range.

Highlighted is the stage this measurement belongs to. It is a map of the process, not a schedule — timings vary by protocol and by clinic.
No. That is pre-wash. Preparation concentrates the motile fraction and discards the rest, so the post-wash figure is what IUI decisions actually use.
Preparation reveals how many sperm are genuinely motile and able to swim through the medium. Some samples look better on a raw count than they perform after washing.
Sometimes. Shorter abstinence often helps motility, and treating an infection or varicocele can change the picture — allow about three months for any change to appear. Different preparation methods also yield differently, so ask your lab which they use.

Thresholds are unit-specific. Ask yours what figure it uses and why. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a clinician.
A calculator gives you a number. These explain what it means, and what it does not.
