[quote=Anonymous]Expert here on morphology!!

My dh has very poor morphology - tests back in summer 2003 revealed 2% via the strict kruger method and 10% via the WHO method at two separate clinics.  However his motility and count were excellent.  Got pregnant naturally the month we had our first tests.  Baby born April 2004.  Roll on summer 2006 when we tried for #2.  My dh got epidydimitus, which is an infection in some tube that carries the sperm, right when we had just started trying - new tests three months later and after a course of antibiotics revealed same crappy morph but now a low low count (1mil down from his previous 100mil) - his count did not come back after a further 9 months so we did ICSI - failed and then a FET and has success with twins.  Roll on twins first birthday and sure enough, I discovered I got pregnant naturally while breastfeeing them.  Had a missed mis and then 6 months later pregnant naturally again.  Now close to entering my third trimester.  Since our IVF days in 2007, my dh has been followed by a male infertility specialist since they are intrigued by his "issues, counts etc" and all the time his morph has remained crappy - his count seems to be finally coming back very slowly after 4 years.  This has been tracked by SA's every 3 months and then every 6 months.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble but the long and the short of it, is that some Dr's seem quite unconcerned about morphology if all else seems good or fairly good and others see big problems. I don't know why such a difference of opinion.  As regards helping morph - the only thing I ever came accross was a study that showed pycnogenol (french tree bark) was shown to help - but it is fairly pricey.

Good luck!![/quote]
