My Dh had his seman analysis and he has 80% abnormal sperm and only 20% normal ones. Count and Mobility were fine. Is there any vitamins or things he can take or get done to improve his morphology?

Saint Rose, my dh started with something like 4% morphology and then went down to 2%. He had quit chewing tobacco at the point of the first diagnosis so who knows what made it go down!! Anyway, we got pregnant 3 times by my count on "natural" cycles (one was medicated). I am older so we finally went on to IVF. I don't know how to interpret your numbers b/c they told me they like to see 15% normal (seriously) so that number of your dh's is not a problem. Yes, he can take omega 3's, arginine, cystine and zinc. I was told that Carlson's fish oil was the best for the omega 3's, not to use cod liver oil. Another friend's dh had numbers like my dh's and they got pregnant naturally after she lost weight and got to ovulating routinely. Good luck! Laurie

Hi Saint Rose, I have similar situation to Laurie (hi Laurie!). My dh had normal count and motility, but only 4% morphology. The SA was ordered by my OB....when we went to see the RE, he told us he doesn't even order morphology results. He doesn't think they are good predictors because the results are apparenly very subjective. I got pregnant on Clomid twice...miscarried first round, now have almost 4 month old baby girl. Best wishes to you!
