Hi ladies,

Need some advice...
DH got a sperm analysis done back in April this year. His morphology results came back at only 4% normal sperm. Our FS never said this was an issue. Since then we have moved states and I have a new FS now...and yesterday when he looked at the results, he said 4% was quite low.

I am very confused as from what I have read 4% is normal... so not sure... Has anyone's DH had 4% normal sperm and still fallen pregnant naturally?? The FS said that if after 3 more rounds of Clomid (I ovulate naturally, using Clomid to just have extra eggs and more chances of falling pregnant), if I was pregnant to go for IVF. I fell pregnant in my first cycle of Clomid but it resulted in a M/C

I have got DH on Menevit now - has anyone found that it improves Sperm Morphology? Also, is the zinc in Menevit enough or should I also get DH to take zinc tablets separately?

Thanks ladies for your advice.
Wishing everyone sticky BFPs!!!

The WHO manual for sperm assessment changed the parameters for sperm morphology with it's new 5th edition.
In the 5th edition anything 4% and above is considered normal, whereas in previous editions 15% was considered normal.

So i guess it depends which edition the FS is used to working with, whether he considers that result to be 'normal' or low.

No idea on the menevit or zinc requirements.

wouldnt have passed as "normal" a year ago
i'm not entirely sure all this lowering of normal numbers is a good thing or not

i'v always been told its 15% or higher is normal but i havent done any AC for 8mths
