Getting pregnant naturally with low sperm motility and morphology

[Lay1990]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had had any success conceiving when your other half has poor motility and morphology. My partner has a high count but extremely low motility and morphology. So far My bloods and ultrasounds have come back normal and my hsycosy was all clear. I havent been on contraception for four years and we have been actively trying for at least 2-3 years. Iv given up on tracking ovulation etc as it stresses us both out too much. Both taking supplements and my other half has stopped having hot baths and now wears loose boxers etc. im just lost tbh. Have another appointment with our fertility consultant next month where I think he will probably refer us for ivf but i just need a bit of hope I guess. Im 32 and my partner is 29. So hard to stay positive. X

My BFF managed this twice. She is on here so hopefully will be along to help you.

What I remember is every 3 days without fail in the morning, a caffienated drink 20 minutes before (for him) and a sort of bum in the air position for you afterwards. (Google knee-chest position)

So, probably not the kind of hope you are asking for but we had this. Never got pregnant naturally but IVF has worked on the first round for us, twice. We have two amazing little girls. I was 32 when I had my first round baby at 33. Good luck, and don't despair if you need IVF. It really can work.

Do you know what his figures are?
My DH had low motility, average morphology and high count and we managed to conceive on cycle 8 after quite a strict supplement regime, diet, loose trousers/boxers. His numbers were not dire though but below average for motility. I also had a hycosy that cycle and used the fertility cup.

really? How does caffeine help? Thanks for the reply xx

So this is his 3rd analysis one year after his first and its actually gotten worse!

I think it makes them livlier also no booze or drugs but I am sure you are doing that anyway.

Yes. Very similar numbers to your last set.

Tried for 3 years. Nothing.

Then a blood test at a GPS for the first road to IVF ... and I tested pregnant !!

1 boy
18 months later a girl... 6 years later .. another girl... No contraception ever.

Aged 30, 32 and 39...

Best Buy of advice ... dtd .. A LOT ..
and of course ... stop thinking about it... MUCH easier said than done once you have one. !

Thanks guys good to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel x

My husband’s sperm was found to be defective in shape and also just swam round in circles. We were told that we had an extremely low chance of becoming pregnant. At that point I thought we were never going to be able to have children naturally. Weirdly enough, a few days later I found out I was pregnant. There hadn’t been any intervention at that point. I would say anything is possible and don’t give up hope 💐

Hi @Lay1990 - I was just wondering how you were getting on?
