Partner has low morphology

Hey, has anyone had any luck conceiving naturally with these SA results. I know the others are in range but they arnt particularly good either are they and then obviously the morphology is really bad. I’ve been TTC for a year now so I was just wondering if anyone had any positive stories with similar results as I’m thinking I’m wasting time trying naturally and should start looking into IVF..

days of abstinence was 5 days btw that isn’t written on the results

Similar position here, partners SA was 187.2 million count, 61% motility and 3% morphology. We've had one chemical pregnancy and on cycle 19, due to start IVF in the new year ☹️

They don’t look that bad at all!

My DH’s were awful (so awful they said we could only conceive via ICSI) and we conceived naturally after some lifestyle changes. Took about a year of him being super healthy, no cycling, no phone in pocket, he took the CountBoost & MotilityBoost supplements too.

It honestly completely depends and how long you want to/have time to wait. My partner had incredibleon all scales and we still couldn’t conceive a second child! Would probably have happened eventually but we went for ivf. We decided to go for it after 18 months.

That's how I feel we are currently in the middle of a house renovation so I'm giving myself till that's done and we are settled to conceive naturally so if nothing by then we are going to go down the ivf route. We have only been trying for nearly a year so not as long as some people but im 29 he is 37 and im getting really really impatient just feeling like it's never going to happened due to his sperm x

My ExH had 1% morphology and also low motility. I naturally conceived twins after a 6 month break where he made some lifestyle changes (healthy eating, vitamins, no laptop on lap, etc).

I guess it depends how old you are. IVF is very hard emotionally. What has your partner done to improve his sperm? Is he taking vitamin? Stopped drinking and smoking? Is he eating healthy? He needs to make diet and health changes and then check his spem again once he's implemented those changes for 3 months consistently.

I'm 29 and have been trying for almost a year and my partner is 37. We was recommended by the doctor to use proxceed, we both eat healthy and are active but he does vape 😡 we rarely drink as well it's been 2ish months since his SA so I'll see if there's any improvement soon but I know the vapes deffo need to go

His results look normal... my partners were so low they could've even measure the morphology. Our first baby was ivf icsi and conceived naturally second time! And his sperm count was still very very low. For context his progressive motility was 1percent x

That's amazing, thank you. I guess it really does just take 1 strong healthy sperm to do it x

So sorry for your miscarriage but thank you so much your lovely response. That makes me feel so much better that it's not impossible and we will probably try for a few more months and then look into icsi x

Tbh I don't think the results are that bad.
We had only 1% morphology and got pregnant but I miscarried. We didn't want to wait forever trying again as I'm 38 so we did have icsi but natural conception is definitely not impossible with your results. 23 MIL is a good amount of sperm and fertility told us that's more important. If you had low count with low morphology then it would obviously be an issue but 3% isn't something to worry about as wed spoke to several fertility consultants regarding our results which were really terrible compared to yours and even they said for our case not impossible just might take more time .
97% of all mens sperm are abnormal anyway
