Just heard back from the lab about my DH's analysis. It is all good except for morphology. It is 7%.
His other numbers are:
4.3 vol, 59ml density, 253.7 total count, 73% motility.
Does anyone know what this means? I'm worried a bit after briefly Googling it.
Thanks!
Re: Low Morphology?
I don't know a whole lot but I can share what I do know. Regarding morphology...it's common ...and here comes that phrase... "as we get older". Girls get egg quality issues and morphology is sort of the guys equivalent. It has to do with the shape of the sperm...morphology means they can have a hard time breaking into the egg. I think 73% motility is good...means fast swimmers. So probably a common looking set of numbers and not something to be too worried about. and IF the morphology was an issue they do have ways to addressing it like IVF with ICSI which is when they inject the swimmer right into the egg. Gosh I hope my "knows enough just to be dangerous" posting helps and doesn't add worry. Keep us posted!
