TTC low morphology

[Bobbilennard]

Hi, me and my partner having been trying to convince for a year now with no luck. About 3 months ago we got his sperm results back and showed he has low morphology of 0.5% he’s due to have another SA in just over a week. I’m just wondering if anyone has any success stories for naturally conceiving. We can’t afford to go private so all wait is on the nhs which is a bit disheartening as we don’t know how long or if will ever get our baby. He’s cut out a long of things as his lifestyle prior was terrible. He was a smoker which he has cut out, he’s changed his diet and is going to the gym and has lost a good amount of weight. He’s still been drinking however. He’s been taking lots of supplements coq10, macar root, omega 3, vitamin c, zinc and vitamin d. So nervous for his second results, I’ve just ordered a fertility cup as I’ve seen a few success stories on there, fingers crossed it will help

We got pregnant in 2022 with morphology of 1/2% but it took 19 long months.
Aswell as vitamins I got him to reduce alcohol, cut down on baths and tried to get him eating oranges, brazil nuts, walnuts, salmon, green veg etc

We're now on month 6 of TTC2 and I listened to the BFN podcast recently and there was a professor on one of the episodes saying that morphology was poorly understood and may not be relevant as people with 0% can go on to conceive!

So there is hope! Good luck!

Did you ever get a second SA to see if those things helped it improve? I see a lot of controversy about this to with the morphology, some people who didn’t struggle and some people who have for years! There is a lady on tiktok who’s husband has 0% and they’ve been trying for 3 years so this does scare me a lot. But then I’ve also see a couple who had 0% and got pregnant easily.. it’s so confusing. I hope it’s not many more months for you, it’s such a dark place to be in

@Bobbilennard yes so I can't remember the figures exactly it was checked initially and it was 2% and then repeated after 3/12 and was 1% (it actually got worse after he undertook 'lifestyle changes), we were referred to a clinic for possible IVF but the month after I fell pregnant naturally. I think in my case I'd completely given up and thought it would never happen - mother nature works in mysterious ways, but as a positive for you there is hope!
