Our SCSA clinical report lists three statistical categories of fertility potential. These were derived from a comprehensive study of male fertility potential without medical interventions and have held true in additional studies. Excellent to Good fertility potential ~ <15% DFI Good to Fair fertility potential ~ 15-30.0% DFI Fair to Poor fertility potential ~ >30% DFI Current data show the probability of a successful pregnancy is significantly reduced when the percentage of sperm with fragmented DNA is >30%. Even so, a DFI >30% does not preclude a full term normal pregnancy. The 30% threshold is a statistical threshold. Therefore if a man was consistently >30% DFI, he is placed into a statistical group of men that have been shown in clinical studies to take a longer time for natural pregnancy, more IVF cycles, increased rate of spontaneous abortions or no pregnancy.
