Male Fertility Q&A - Morphology, Testicular Cancer, and IUI
15 december 2024 · 37 min
Dr. Natalie Crawford answers voicemail questions about male fertility. Lees meer
Questions included:
I have been trying to get pregnant for 18 months, had a miscarriage, and am seeing a fertility specialist. My husband's sperm motility is 36% and morphology is 2%. The clinic says the numbers are minimally low and we can still try medicated cycles and IUI. I want feedback on whether we should stop the medicated cycles and focus on improving my husband's sperm first.
I have two healthy children but have had two recent miscarriages. My husband's semen analysis shows normal count/volume but only 3% normal morphology. I want to know if the low morphology could be causing the miscarriages and if we would still have a good chance of conceiving naturally.
My husband was treated for testicular cancer and we were able to bank his sperm. I am trying to decide whether to try IUI first or go straight to IVF given our limited sperm supply.
My husband has 1% sperm morphology but all other parameters are normal. I am getting mixed advice - the urologist thinks we can conceive naturally, but the RE recommends IUI. I want to understand more about the importance of morphology.

I've been trying to conceive for about 10-11 months. Everything is good on my end and my husband's end. They recently prescribed me Letrozole and said I can do timed intercourse with that, or I could do an IUI this cycle. What would you recommend?
