We currently perform post vas sperm presence and report our results as number of sperm seen per HPF and make a note if the sperm were motile or non motile.  The American Urological Association states that a vasectomy is successful if less than 100,000 sperm/mL are seen.  Does anyone have any idea how to convert sperm per HPF to sperm per mL?  We could use a hemocytometer but numbers are usually so low that doesn't seem logical.
