    Good luck! We did an IUI that didn't work, but my DH didn't just have low morphology--he had low everything.  We only tried IUI once and then moved to IVF with ICSI. 
    TTC Since July 2008.
    Me: PCOS DH: Low everything (MFI)

    We did!  DH's numbers were not nearly as good as yours - his count was around 50mil, motility in the 40s and his morph ranged from 2-3%.  And I had a blocked tube.  Our second IUI with clomid and trigger worked to bring us our DS.  Then I got pg without ever getting a post partum AF with my DD without treatment.  And then got pg 2 more times after that (one was a m/c) without treatment.

    Not sure what DH's morph is now, but all you need is one good one!  Good luck!

    We need a sticky post on this page regarding low morphology.

    My husband has 0% morphology with borderline count and motility and I have a few issues on my own and I've had six pregnancies:

    1st - no medical intervention

    2nd - IVF (after many failed clomid cycles and two IUI cycles)

    3rd - no medical intervention but ended in a miscarriage

    4th - clomid and timed intercourse but ended in a miscarriage

    5th - IUI using Femara and a little bit of Follistim

    6th - well, God was just being funny with this one, no medical intervention and we were using condoms

    If the count is 150 million there are still a ton of great sperm there and remember, it only takes one!  Not to mention, it's debatable how important morphology is.  Good luck to you!

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
