Husband has abnormal sperm

Sarah
Hi everyone! My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 16 months now. I had all my blood work done a few weeks ago and everything looked fine except I had a hypothyroid problem (4.74). My husband just got his semen analysis on the 23rd and the doctor called hours later saying he had abnormal sperm. I know this can mean several different things so I asked her to clarify and she explained that the shape of his sperm was abnormal and he would need to see a urologist. We were both extremely crushed and feel sick over the news. I've been reading about sperm morphology and read in most cases a successful pregnancy is commonly obtained by <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. My question is, have any of you had a similar problem and have been able to conceive on your own? We aren't sure as to the severity of it because they didn't give us the results. If anyone has some encouraging advice, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks!
