Low morphology and motility

Is there anything that can help a DH's swimmers?  His SA said he had low morphology and motility.  He is always hot and I think that probably contributes to it.  We are trying IUI this week.  We're excited but a little nervous.  I have to keep my hopes in check.

    Hi,

    To my knowledge, there is nothing you can do short-term to help you for this week. Overall, a daily vitamin and something to kick some swimmer butt. You can try Proxeed. It's about $100 a month, but it's all my RE recommends (they don't sell it, I get it online). Pcycnogonol (sp) is also good for sperm. It's cheaper. It's a pine bark extract herb. I got mine at Costco online.

    There probably isn't a whole lot that he can do for this week.  Just be sure that he abstains from ejaculation from 2 to 5 days before the IUI (check what your doctor recommends), and avoids overheating.

    For the long term, he should see a urologist, who should be able to do a more thorough examination and diagnosis, along with a treatment plan.

    Good luck with your IUI!

    My DH has morph issues. I agree with Traci that he should set up an appt with an urologist to see what is going on.

    Good luck with your IUI!!!!

    You don't have to keep your hopes in check.  You have a good chance.  After wash they will be able to tell you how many are available. IUI helps the process.  I don't know what # IUI this is for you but remember it may take a few.  My DH has extremely low morph.  We got pregnant on our second IUI.  We're now trying for #2 but no luck yet.  Keep us updated.

    IUI #1 went well.  After the wash we had 18million sperm.  Don't know how good they were though!  In the 2ww now.  Trying not to worry about it or be too optimistic.  3 days down... 11 to go!  Hoping for a BFP!!

     Good luck to each of you!!
