We have been trying to have a baby for over a year and we found out that i have elevated prolactin( for which i just started taking 2.5mg of bromocriptine). my husband has normal count and motility however his morphology was 100% abnormal. Is there any hope for us to try naturally or do we have to go the IVF/ICSI route?
ThanksView Thread

according to the normal range mentioned on the report there are 2 things which are low, RAPID LINEAR PROGRESSION (should be more then 25%) and the NORMAL FORM (which should be more then 30%).
I read on the internet that if the semen analysis contains more then 1 White Blood Cells that would mean that either there is an infection or infertility issue.
please help me, will i be able to have a baby, i am married for about 2 years.View Thread

None of the doctors have helped us fully understand the SA results just yet (probably because had not started seeing an RE). But I am under the impression that it is highly unlikely to conceive naturally with these numbers, is that correct? And is it possible that his general health issues could be impacting the quality and quantity of his sperm, or is there no relation between hypothyroid and male infertility?

I had him change his diet and started him on FertilAid. It's been about 2 months since he started on this new diet. He used to eat a very low carb diet with very little fruits and veggies. I am making him eat lots of fruits and veggies. He was also a big consumer of diet sodas. He would drink scary amounts of diet sodas every day (approx 5 cans sometimes more). I made him quit that as well. We are both active and slender/normal weight, don't smoke, rarely drink (I don't drink at all, he has 1 or 2 beers every few months).
My OBGYN told us that our next step (if I'm not pregnant this month), would be a 2nd SA and then IUI. My main question is, is IUI effective for poor morphology? I have read conflicting things about IUI's effectiveness, especially when it comes to morphology.
Any advice at all or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!View Thread
My wife and I have been TTC for about a year and a half at this point. I recently took the initiative and had an SA done. When I was contacted by my Urologist with the results I was told my number is good (70 mil in 1.1 ml) and my morphology was fine but my motility was DRASTICALLY lower than it should be (at 2%). I will say in my defense I had performance anxiety (it definitely wasn't the consistency or amount it normally is), I had to get a sample twice in very quick succession (second time using spit for lubricant which was a dumb decision on my part) and just to make sure its out there I had taken a hot shower within 10 minutes of trying for a sample. How much would that factor in the resulting motility?
I was also told there was no medicine that could help improve motility and I have been looking at ways to work on it. The one that sticks out to me is Fertilaid for Men and Motility Boost. I am sure you all know what it is but just in case they seem like super vitamins aim
ed at increasing production and motility. Do they work? I heard at least Fertilad was formulated by Dr. Amos Grunebaum.
Any advice to get this number up would be great. I'd really rather not have to do IVF if at all possible due to the money obviously.View Thread

After 1 year of TTC, my DH got tested and came back with good numbers but 0% morphology... We were heart broken. We decided to start the process and make an appt with the fertility clinic to talk about our options. But a "miracle" happen, and when we got the bad news I was apparently pregnant! We found out 2 weeks after the news and where ecstatic!! But after 5 weeks the dr told us my beta was not good and that I should expect bleeding and miscarriage... Well, I am right now there... Yesterday, valentines day, i started bleeding and saying good bye to our miracle... I am heart broken...
Well, we are back to our fertility appt plan, but I wanted to know if anyone has anyone can tell me if having bad morphology can lead to more miscarriages... Any success stories? Or any stories like mine that had more than one miscarriage?
DH has started taking supplements, wearing boxers, and he will start acupuncture next week... But I am afraid of conceiving again and have another miscarriage... I just cant handle it anymore... Does anyone has any advice? Stories to share or valuable information for me?
Thank you everyone!View Thread

Thanks for letting me share a few thoughts. HankView Thread
I was wondering if you could help me. My boyfriend's sperm count is high, mobility as well, but morphology is low. Here are the results of his SA:
Volume: 3.5ml Total number of sperms ejaculated: 209 million Concentration: 59.6 million/ml Mobility: 62% Forward mobility: 47% Kruger morphology: 2%
He is 34, doesn't smoke and is pretty healthy overall.
Any thoughts on whether the low morphology can be ignored considering the high count and mobility? The normal morphology should be 4% or more, but his count is 5x higher than the minimum (the minimum is 40 million according to the parameters that appear on the results)...so in theory he has more normal sperms than a person with for example 60 million sperms and 5% morphology.
Thanks for your help.View Thread
