Poor speed morphology

Anyone have this issue with their SO? My husband and I have been trying for 17months, we’re both taking vitamins and supplements per MD and we’ve never got a positive pregnancy test. Just curious if anyone else has had this issue and what you did to get pregnant??

We were told IUI and Clomid would be good for us

How low is it and what were his other numbers like? My husband has 3% normal morphology but all other numbers are fine. Our Dr. suggested 3 rounds of medicated timed intercourse before moving to IUI.

Yeah my HSG was normal and I just saw a new MD the other day who told us we’re both normal and we can try Clomid cause my cycles vary from 24-39 days!

Do you remember what his count was? 15 and 20% normal morphology isn’t bad at all. Our fertility specialist said anything above 4% is “normal”, I know different labs use different guidelines though. It’s good that you were able to figure out what was causing your symptoms and get those to go away, I don’t have endo but know the symptoms can be really painful. Have you had an HSG done to check your tubes? Our RE found that my left tube appeared to have scar tissue blocking it

From what I recall the motility wasn’t great but not bad, the morphology was the worse he started with 15% normal and now has 20% normal. My OBGYN thought I had endometriosis as well, but all my testing came back normal and with some lifestyle changes all the “endo” symptoms are gone. She told me to do Clomid with IUI. I have an appt in a week though with a new MD since my insurance changed so we’ll see what she says. It’s hard cause Clomid doesn’t have great outcomes and to start the IUI process if you fail that then all you have is IVF which is nerve racking haha so we’ll see what happens

My Husband has low Morphology, Motility & Count. He’s been on FertileAid for Men and I’ve done 5 rounds of Clomid and 1 of Femara. We have been told IVF is our only option since his Motility is 1% it can’t make it to my egg 💔
