My DH has low-ish morphology (3% I think). We've never had a problem getting pregnant... Just staying pregnant.

My coworker's DH had 0-1% depending on the sample and they just got pregnant spontaneously without any treatment!

DH has great numbers except 4% morphology. He is doing supplements (vitamin C, coq 10, selenium, zinc, b complex, and l-carnitine), and avoiding his laptop (would be on his lap for 2-3 hours/day). There is also some evidence that frequent wjaculation improves morphology. The plan is to check SA after three months of this. Big hugs!

We're a PCOS + low morph/motility couple. I don't ovulate on my PCOS, and Jag's numbers are <3% (though they vary from sample to sample) - if you can get repeat SA in a few months, you may find things change a little bit. x

@DesertDreams88: Yeah, it's a big factor. That said, even though we have done IVF for years, we've never needed ICSI/PICSI or intensive cycles - just regular old sperm & egg in a test tube, and relatively normal fertilisation. (Though we have had a couple miscarriages too, as you know, so can't be sure whether it was sperm/egg or BOTH that contributed to those.)

Also, I'd say regular RE. We've never been referred to a urologist for hubby's results over the years. x

@DesertDreams88: I should also mention that the RE really recommended that we give it time and quoted 10% chance of conceiving each month. She strongly recommended against any intervention. She also thought supplements were pretty pointless. We got pregnant on probably our worst month for timing...I think it really is an odd's game. Again, she said with morphology alone there wasn't anything to worry about and told us she'd probably never see us again. Which is so far true
I think if you can get your cycles regulated you have a great chance!

I'm sorry to hear that. My husband got his results back today - only 8.4 million concentration and 3% morphology. I'm feeling pretty defeated right now.
