Borderline fsh and 100% abnormal morphology

[Mrshurley]

Hi! This is my very first post ever! Three yrs ago I unexpectedly got pregnant but sadly ended in an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured loosing a tube in the process. We have been trying to conceive since January with no luck so we went in for testing. My fsh was borderline at 10.1. My husband's Doctor checked him out and ordered a semen analysis. His results came back as normal for the count and motility but the morphology was 100% abnormal. Has anyone else had an experience similar? Thank you for your time!

Sorry about your loss. For DH are they going to do a repeat SA? Counting morphology is a manual, tedious process for labs so there maybe some variability on results. My RE is not so hot on morphology bc some say it is not as important as it once was thought to be. I would maybe think about some lifestyle changes vitamins (I know others have had some improvements in certain brands with their DH...I was lucky to get my DH just to take chewy vitamins. Ha!), decrease/stop smoking and drinking (if possible), eating healthier...eg take out all the fun stuff and then retest the SA. Unfortunately, it takes 90 days for swimmers to regenerate, but who knows people have gotten preggo when they least expected it. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply! And congratulations on your bfp!!

Hi! My DH had only 3% normal morphology so RE recommended he supplement with Vitamin C and L-Carnatine. I think it was 1000mg for both daily. It helped a lot. Not sure on the exact number as this was back when we were ttc DS.
