How do I know if I have a low/ high sperm count

[mcdaniels]

Hi there,
When I cum, I cum quite a lot, and it squirts a lot. Does that mean I have a high sperm count ?

[Stevan LT]

I suppose yes
The more you cum the more sperm goes out

[Sevro au Barca]

Nope; sperm count refers to the amount of sperm in a certain amount of semen, not the amount in one ejaculation. The only way to determine your sperm count is with lab tests. It's really not something you need to worry about, unless you're currently trying to have kids for some reason and failing.

There’s no correlation, in fact it can possibly mean a low sperm count. Only way of telling is a lab test

[jamie_n5]

A laboratory would have to examine your semen to determine the sperm count. The amount of semen ejaculated doesn't mean you have a higher sperm count.

Yeah... just because you have a lot of cum, doesn’t mean you have a high sperm count. The only way to find out is in a lab.

I don’t think it matters you could cum loads or only have one squirt a girl could still get pregnant

You're not wrong. But, if your sperm count is low, there are fewer sperm cells per unit of volume. That means that there are fewer sperm all swimming to the egg so less chance of one successfully fertilising the egg.

Nope; sperm count refers to the amount of sperm in a certain amount of semen, not the amount in one ejaculation.

I think, when it comes to trying for baby, the number in the whole ejaculation is of more interest but there is a reason a lab would not measure that directly. They aren't going to have the time to put the whole lot under the microscope so they will measure a small, known quantity and count the number of sperm in that. They will also measure the total volume and you can then multiply these two figures together to get to the total assuming, of course, that the bit they did examine is typical of the rest.

So, to get that info from a lab, someone needs to pay them so it would typical only be done if you are having trouble conceiving.

In the meantime you can't really assume volume and count have any fixed relationship. Semen is made up of bits from various places. Sperm from your balls, prostatic fluid from the prostate gland, fluid from the seminal vesicles, some from the bulbo urethral glands etc. Depending on how active each of these are the volume, composition and concentration of sperm can vary. Especially when you first start developing these don't all necessarily develop at the same speed so the composition can be a bit different to that for an adult until all these are working well.

go for a lab test

[vandilization]

No, sperm is separate from ejaculate. The only way to know would be getting a lab test done.

[baseballhockey5]

I think it has to do with if your cum is white or not.

Grab a microscope and check :P
