[quote=Anonymous]My husband also has low morphology.  I'm pretty sure that will put you in the unexplained bucket and I also recall the doc told us that it's definitely still possible to get pregnant "naturally" with those numbers, particularly if your DH has a normal to high-ish sperm count (which my DH did).

So my first piece of advice is let go of any idea in your head that it's his "fault".  Not saying you're going there.  But don't go there.  Not even in your own mind because it will come out in other ways.  Something about the two of you together isn't getting the job done.  Period.

I'm a take charge person and my anxiety and frustrations are allayed by having a plan and taking action.  So the following is what worked for me.  Have a plan and take it day by day and be as proactive as possible.  Advocate for yourself.  Educate yourself.  Do everything within your power and then be kind to yourself about the outcome, whatever it is.  The reality is this is on you.  Yes, your partner should and can be supportive and can assist along the way.  But you are the captain of this team for this endeavor.  Treat it like a part-time job.
