[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just FYI, 5% morphology isn’t low. Normal range is 4% or greater.[/quote]

Yes, we are aware that it is considered normal under one test - at labcorp my DH was normal, at SGF he was not. My understanding is there are two tests most used right now- one is 4% or greater, another is 14% or greater.

SGF has higher standards than other area clinics because it maximizes their success rates. We got pregnant 3 times naturally with 1% morphology. Most REs, outside of SGF apparently, will tell you that morphology has a very minimal impact on male fertility. I’m not trying to be rude, but this is part of SGFs sales pitch to talk patients into more aggressive treatments. Most other clinics would call you unexplained with the facts you described. It’s good to be slightly skeptical when the clinic is telling you something in conflict with the lab report.
