The only advice i can offer is FS and OB/GYN's dont usually see the need for fertility treatments until a couple has been TTC for atleast 12 months....
Your best bet is an appointment with a fertility specialist. Male fertility issues (where sperm is present but not in the ideal form) are basically untreatable, generally speaking. IUI or IVF are good ways to get around this - possibly - but again you need to discuss this with an FS.
I'd like to offer more advice regarding the stats you gave, but they aren't in a format which I recognise. The volume is just outside the normal range, and I assume from your morph. statistic that he has 4% normal forms, which isn't too bad believe it or not. Men produce far more abnormal than normal sperm. The motility numbers you have given need to be in percentages and I'm not sure what the 'a/b/c' this is you've quoted - I realise it's a motility index but which level is he?
Teratozoopermia means sperm which are abnormally shaped.
For now, make the appointment to discuss your options. you'll need a referral from your GP. Good luck

Dear Hollye & slyder,
Thank you for your advices.
Despite your advice, we decided to try out TCM instead of FS for the time being.
I've tried the pregnancy kit this morning and the result shown positive.
I'm going to visit a gynae on Monday. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the baby is healthy and a smooth delivery.
I'm so thrilled. Thank you for all the well-wishing.
