Sperm morphology 5% - problems?

DP just got his sperm test results...

Count was 40million
Motility was 35%
Morphology - 5% were normal

I just found out we are UTD (4.5weeks). But now i'm worrying this pg will end badly, if it is bad sperm...

We've had 2 chemical pregnancies in our TTC journey...but my HcG on Friday was 202, which is a good range.

Does anyone have any experience here? Have you had a healthy bubba when the sperm was bad?

thanks :)

I can't really help with the technical side, but it only takes one 'good' sperm meeting one 'good' egg and you have a baby.

all the best for a happy & healthy 9 months.

JB, that's not a bad result. Our IVF clinic reckons that 2% normal morph is OK on their scale. Apparently it's normal for most sperm to be abnormal.

If you're UTD, you're UTD. Dodgy sperm don't beat the stronger ones, so just be happy. Congrats!
