[quote=Anonymous]I am male and had an SA on July 3 that came back with 51 giga/L count, so my 4.5ml sample had 200+ million count, 64% total motility, BUT 0% morphology. I got the results in August, started taking Zinc, Vitamin E, Royal Jelly, Folic Acid, CoQ10, in additional to my regular multi-vitamin and fish oil. I also switched to boxers, I was tighty whitey most my life prior, and did acupuncture and moxabustion. My wife's period didn't come in Sept and 5 HPT came back positive. I will go for another SA just to see if morphology actually improved, or if we just got lucky. One of our family doctor's said the morphology isn't important because of my high count.

I think the thing to realize is that they don't look at the entire sample. According to this, they just look at 200 or so: http://www.gfmer.ch/Endo/PGC_network/Sperm_morphology.htm

And also their classification is slightly subjective and I don't think they really know which sperm can or cannot really fertilize an egg. They are just making educated guesses.[/quote]
