TMI but need advice

[dlj2]

Hi all

Really need some advice, our background is ttc for 4 years. Seeing a fertility specialist who found OH to have good SA results apart from only 2% morph. I ovulate naturally and no problems found but am underweight.
Recent chemical preg but no other bfp to note.

So my question is we try to bd for the days around ov, typically only manage a couple of days due to oh not being able to do more. This month we did three days in a row but on the third day he was unable to ejaculate? Why would this be and would this be cause for concern I havnt yet discussed any of this with the specialist for fear of hurting oh's feelings but need to know exactly what our problem conceiving is-any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.x

I'm no expert but I wouldn't think DH not being able to ejaculate the 3rd day in a row is anything medical, just one of those in-the-moment situation. Given you have some current sperm issues (which can't be determined by one SA as they do vary) you probably would be better BDing alternate nights tbh.

The benchmark for morphology as per the WHO guidelines is 4%, to try improve morphology your DH can make a few changes -eat better, cut alcohol, cease smoking, lose weight if needed, avoid hot tubs/baths/laptops on groin, take a good vitamin (like wellman conception) and avoid groin intensive exercise like a lot of cycling.

You mention you are underweight, there is a link between very low body fat and poor fertility - might be worth asking your Dr about if he/she hasn't already discussed this with you.

Just to add- 2% morphology may not be a problem at all if overall your DH has a great sperm volume/count

My DH is the same way, he couldnt have sex EVERY day, he can usually do it 2 days but the 3rd he has a little trouble, sometimes he can(witha lot of help) and sometimes he cant, it can be very stressful esp, around OV time, but try not to stress to much its normal

My DH has 1 % morph, he is taking flax see oil, wellman conception and vitamin a and e.

Our DR told us the morph is not a problme as the other numbers were all fine.. not sure really hat to think 1% seems low... but they say its fine. SA's change a lot though try not to worry, much easier said than done i know!

B'Ding 3 days in a row is too much for some people male and female, and maybe the added pressure of it being O'v day made it harder. I would try and go for every other day, nothing medically wrong with him at all...

good luck (((HUGS))

my Dh has 3% morphology and I have been told that there is no reason to consider that an issue and I have also been told there are ways to improve count and other factors but no way at all to improve morphology.
My dh and I have been trying for 4.5 years so I am right there with you! (just im not underweight) I have known many people who were very tiny/underweight and they have had happy healthy pregnancies, but if your worried about it being a connection then I would try to add 500 to 1000 calories a day to your diet. I haven't ever had an issue with DH not being able to ejaculate after a few days of bding but I have noticed after multiple days in a row that the quantity is much lower. I agree with Nell but I would definitely mention it to your FS. Nothing is worth overlooking. F'xed for you! baby dust!
