Hey! I don't know if someone else already posted this, but apparently WHO is changing their standards? It's in

He has a link to the study too. Anyone have thoughts on this? Am I pre-emptively excited?

Edit: I think everyone knew about this but me. Sorry for being late to the party!!!

It def made me feel better about ours, but it's just hard to believe that 4% can be normal. You know what I mean?

Yeah that's why I thought I might be getting too excited. I definitely feel better since I'd been reading a ton of things about how morph was so important and some about how it wasn't and I feel like "my side" won. At the same time... there are a lot of women with morph at 4% that I know that are having trouble, so what's that about then? I hope the study was right. It makes me more hopeful.

I agree. I loved that article when it was posted the other day. I didn't even know that blogged existed. I know people can get pregnant with very very small morph, but it's been two years for me and I'm not waiting anymore! LOL

I read that article last week. It did make me feel a bit better, but I am still frustrated about the lack of morphology knowledge. We sat down with the urologist last week and it made me a bit more uneasy. It just seems as if everyone has a different opinion. He even mentioned that some clinics are known to be a lot more strict them others when evaluating the SA.

BBColt78- Was it you that responded to one of my post with specific vitamin names that your DH takes for his morph issue? If so, would you be so kind to post that information again? Smile

Thanks!

I don't know what BBColt's DH takes but DH just started taking fertility blend for Men. Available thru their website or at GNC stores.
