Anyone had BFP with SA 0% or low morphology??

[michelleann]

I need a small shed of hope, OH SA shows 25% motility with 0 morphology

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Morphology or motility? Hmmm I duno but didn't wanna read n run my hubby gets his SA next week!

 

[michelleann]

Morphology = normal shaped sperm, he has none and motility is how they move, he has 6% rapid and 19% slow rest dead

 

[DolceBella]

Maybe IUI would help in this case.

 

[Braven05]

How does that happen? Are men born like that or what? I just don't get how the majority of the sperm can be dead....sorry no advice, but didn't want to read and run. Hope you get some reassuring answers! Good luck.

Hi michelleann;

I just got my BFP after 14 months of trying. Hubby done SA 2 months ago - had 0 morphology and 14 motiity. He was supposed to re test at end of month but just got BFP, it was such a suprise.
I told my husand at the time not to worry as morphology can change from day to day.
Think about 3 months b4 you gave the test, was ur husband sick?, was he in good health? , was he using sauna's? All of these can temporarily affect sperm.

What helped me was Wellman conception, pregnacare conception and most of all taking temperatures every morning and really pin pointing ovulation.

I really hope you get ur BFP real soon

xxxx

Hello redfoot,
Wow congrats I'm really chuffed for you and you give me some much needed hope!!

He has been unwell with headaches and has taken some string pain killers and antibiotics with in a few months of doing the SA so hopefully it's that that's causing it!

He won't take multivits etc as stares he eats healthily and should be getting what he needs from his diet! I tried to explain to him it's not as simple as that!! He is due another SA on 29th nov so if that's says the same (which is possible as last SA was only on 4th nov!!) than il tell him it's either multi vits or no ttc cuz are only option after that is IVF which means putting me through hell so I think I'm being fair!!

If he's not prepared to take vits, look up foods which contain lots of zinc and add them to his diet - he won't know it is to do with TTC if you don't tell him ;-)

My dh had 5% morphology at one point and 9% another,we tried for 18 months before he agreed to take just one centrum a day and we've had 2 bfps in 2 months babe,doctors said only iui or ivf would work,morphology changes every 3 months,alcohol rapidly reduces them (definitely what caused ours) hot baths,saunas,being ill dramatically reduces them,apparently spinach works well xx

Us too hon

We very nearly started icsi in 2005 and 6 weeks before I found out I was pregnant naturally after 18mths of TTC....we were told by FC it would have been a `miracle` to concieve naturally and that those spermies that were good morphology wise didnt move and just sort of hung around and those bad morpholgoy wise had rockets up there arses DH drank a few beers of an eve, smoked 20 cigs a day and didnt take vits so in run up to icsi he cut his drinking to just a few beers of a weekend 10cigs a day and he started taking vit c caps....we got Oliver who is now 5yrs old We started TTC again in feb this year sort of in the dark about his SA as we decided not to get it checked striaght away/before TTC I was always hopeful we would concieve again. Inbetween 21st Feb and 9th August when we got baby Charlie we also sadly had an early m/c in July It took us approx 6mths this time but only 4 cycles as my cycles are long and this time DH took a combined vit c and zinc supplement....he smoked 20 a day and still had a few beers of the eve (not everyday gosh he sounds like a right alkie ) but we did it!

Its very possible hon....I only thing I can say for sure was that I always believed I would be a mummy and never let that go

Goodluck hon

Hi Michellann, thanks for the congrats,

I also gave my hubby flax seed oil, its very good for sperm. You can get it in bottles from good supermarkets and health shops. You can pour it in his salad or feed it him on a spoon, he really can't reject it as its such a good oil. its main effects are cell renewal and repairing damage. And its recommended for every complaint or issue, its even good for skin.
But in our case it repairs sperm, makes them better quality increases volume and motility and morphology.
Also maca is a very good product for sperm and one of the reasons I was attracted to wellman conception is cos it contains maca. Vitimins do so many things for fertility and no matter how healthy we eat we still may be lacking some or need a boost as they play a big role in fertility.
Anyway sorry for going on, I just really want to help you get ur BFP

fingers crossed
xxxxxx

 

[michelleann]

Thank you to you all, I feel so much better! I just need to get my OH on some multi bits or at least zinc and vit C!!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

can get a zinc and vit c combined pill too hon....my theory is one pill is half the battle of two

I bought DH`S from tesco but I think superdrug do them as well!

Thanks girly I will know now when my DH goes in Wednesday what that means.....FX for you sweetheart I hope you get your BFP soon I'm so sorry your going through this hunny.....I couldn't imagine God bless ya and praying for a sticky bean for you soon!

 

[Helly]

Hi, my hubby had 1% morphology, it took us 13 months to conceive, we conceived the month he started taking the wellman conception vitamins but I doubt it had anything to do with it!

hello michelle ann,

im sorry to hear about your situation...i know exactly how you feel, we just recieved our results lastweek and i was shocked and mortified!!! I cant exactly remember the numbers but it was low morphology and really low motility...I couldn't believe this was happening to us!!!...I was really depressed and down in the dumpsters if you will...my hubby is a heavy smoker and a few weeks before we did the test we just returned from an all inclusive vacation from cabo mexico and we drank and smoked our faces off!! LOL im pretty sure that had alot to do with the results!!! but being on here and reading these success storied helps sooo much and gives me alot of hope!! I dont want to go through IUI or IVF or any of those if i dont have to...Im sure it's just a matter of a combination of diet, vitamins, and exercise, and cutting smoking completely and it'll happen!!!

Dont give up and don't give in to those DOCS...sometimes I just feel like these fertility specialist clinics only wanna make money and they throw IVF in your face likes it's the only answer out there!! Our doc did that....it was like...here are your results...theres really no chance of you concieving naturally...so when would you like to start IVF!!! WTF...like arent there any other options? anything we can try in the mean time to help the situation? I couldn't believe how eager she was to start IVF!!! Im in canada so im not sure how expensive it is in your area but here it aint cheap!! She really threw it in our faces as if it were the only way to go...thats what contributed to my baby making anxiety and scared the living hell out of DH as he is dying for a bean as well!!!

anyway i apologize for this rant!! Just felt like venting...

GL to you and never give up hope...it'll happen!

 

[scoobydrlp]

This thread gives me hope. Thanks so much everyone for sharing your stories!

 

[Sophe]

gives me hope too, DH has 1 % morphology i just bought him Wellman conception hope it helps us xx

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

That you so much for all your stories. You give me hope as well. I've ordered FertileAid for men & will compare the ingredients to Wellman.

We got the news this week that his SA was very poor & I've been feeling so bad. How much do I nag to get him to see what the problem is or do I just start implementing some health changes & see what happens???

Thank you again to everyone who shares their stories & to all of us in the same boat, I'm sorry we're here but it's nice to know I'm not alone.

 

[VnRsBaby]

I'm new here and in the same boat (low morphology and motility) and don't feel so alone now. Thanks for sharing your stories, it definitely gives me hope!! Now to get DH to take more vitties
