lily. iam facing going through IVF from damage caused by scarred tissue and other things. you are strong enough huni....i promise you you have got alot of support here. if you want to talk pm me. lots of love and squishy hugs xxx
Just wanted to say my DH had great sperm count and motility but not so good morphology only 4% normal forms like your DH SIVF said that is within normal range i dont know how they can say that when the world health organisation say it should be at a strict level 9% or above and 15% or above is normal westmead said low morph makes it harder to fall pregnant but not impossible anyway DH gave up coffee , coke and started taking sperm max and COQ10 and his last sperm test was perfect above 15% normal forms the FS said poor morpholoy is mainly from life stye and can be corrected.
All the best
That's awesome to hear ferrals! Fwiw, Df and I only drink once in a blue moon (last time was Cai's 30th ), neither of us smoke, we drink soft drink, not a lot and not anything with caffeine, he doesn't drink coffee, wear tight undies, have spa's or baths, ride a bike or anything like that.
Depending on what grading system was used, 4% isn't necessarily terrible. Our IVF clinic considered anything at or above 2% normal morph to be normal, based on a fairly strict assessment methodology. Some labs say >15% is normal. In any event, it's normal for most sperm to abnormally formed due to the very high cell replication involved in sperm production.
If his count is good, his motility alright, and his morphology perhaps questionable, I wouldn't despair about that at all. A low count and poor motility would be more of an issue.
Get him on Menevit too. Supposed to be the balls that stuff. About $30 for a month's supply.
Pumpkin Zulu, Im a little curious and concerned as to why your FS would tell you that 4% is a bad number???? DH had 5% 'normal' sperm levels and that was considered pretty well normal, having anything upto 97% of abnormal sperm can often be considered 'abnormally normal', gosh, does that make sense? Considering even FS's dont even know what constitutes 'abnormal' and so may double tailed spermies have created perfectly healthy babies.
Please know that if you need to go with IVF, you will find the strength that you need because I honestly believe you will do everything in your power to hold your miracle. Miracles do happen hun, with the above odds and being told we had less then a 1% chance of ever having a baby naturally (for no good reason, I might add!), we conceived naturally after 5 years of failed IVF. That one little tiny baby is just waiting for its chance to enter your life but I really hope for you that it is really soon.
