Low morphology

Hello!

My partner has low sperm morphology at 2% (should be 4% or above) , has anyone conceived successfully in similar circumstances? Positive stories would be greatly appreciated!

Yes my sons father had 1% and 2% normal morphology on his SA. I was on clomid for 6 months which didn’t work so my partner started taking pycnogenol which I’d heard improved sperm morphology and we conceived naturally 4 months later. A follow up sperm test which we received the results for just after I’d found out I was pregnant showed his morphology at over 6%

@HopefulMo20 yes it’s been a long journey so hoping all is ok, only currently 16dpo! As a previous poster said, if everything else came back in the Normal range we were told we were fine 😊

Sorry, I can't remember the exact numbers now, but if the semen analysis says all the other results are all in the "normal" or acceptable range, that's good.

@HopefulMo20 we’ve been TTC for 14 months and my partners came back this month at 3% and low and behold it’s the month we got our first ever BFP. Our doctor said it wasn’t a massive issue and that you can test one time and get a low morphology and then test another time and your morphology is fine and sperm count is low. It sounds weird odds being 2% but if you think even if you only had 1 mil sperm thats 20k that can still get to that egg 😊

@RyvitaBrevis well that is good to know, thank you. Do you know what is considered 'good' numbers?

Yes! Morphology on its own is not an issue as long as the other numbers are good.
