@scotthilton993 Low morphology is not a big concern if everything else is great. Its just as common in fertile men as infertile men apparently. You can read more here.

@suezq3 Take the first day of fertile CM as the indicator of ovulation. Same as the first day of LH surging, instead of the peak. CM is a very reliable indicator of your hormones (E2 and P). Although not every single cycle is text book perfect if we're being honest. If you ovulate, your...

@jleew89 Sounds like volume isn't a real issue then. 😊 Just a quick tip, don't change the abstinence period if you're trying to improve sperm motility. Increasing the number of days makes it worse in most cases. There is a whole list of other things he can do to treat asthenospermia naturally...

@xteaspoon Your doctors advice is correct. Low morphology is the one parameter that doesn't really affect your chances of natural conception if everything else is good. You can read more about it here. However if you have already been trying to conceive for 12 to 24 months, it is definitely...

@jleew89 It's sounds like a pride or religious thing. Give him the 3 or 6 months to improve it on his own and after that go see the Specialist for 'further advice on how to improve it naturally' 😉😉 I definitely would not wait years. But also don't take the next 3-6 months too seriously with...

@rickylee I'm a glass half full person. Like I said it, my gut feeling is it's something that's reversible unlike those who just have only poor motility or morphology. In saying that, even if it is reversible, it is unlikely to turn around as much as you need to avoid IVF, but you never really...

@rickylee What was sperm morphology like? Sounds like oligoasthenoteratospermia as a result of severe oxidative stress, often caused by varicoceles. If there is no infection, varicoceles, low hormones (just to name a few) you will need to seriously consider ICSI. I would try to get ahead of...

@saralynn1 Ok, that makes sense then because I would expect at least a couple close calls after a few years even with suboptimal sperm quality if you were ovulating regularly. Is your partner making any lifestyle changes in the mean time?

@saralynn1 Have you guys had any close calls yet? Like a positive and then negative? Or a missed period and possibly super early miscarriage?

@saralynn1 Unfortunately google and some doctors forget to tell you that you can still be infertile with an ok semen analysis. Standard protocol says to do a full investigation of both partners after 12 months of unsuccessful ttc. Some doctors suggest 24 months because 50% of subfertile couples...

@saralynn1 How long have you guys been ttc?
