Hello everyone. This one could use your help. Does he only need a tutor?

u/010010001110 — 11 days ago

36M/32F, 1 year TTC, 1 chemical pregnancy.

We just got my partner's first semen analysis back and are waiting for the doctor's call next week to discuss. In the meantime, I'm trying to understand what we're looking at.

Most parameters look really solid:

Volume: 3.0 mL

Concentration: 26.25 M/mL

Total count: 78.75 M/ejaculate

Progressive motility: 60%

Non-progressive: 13%

Immotile: 27%

Total motility: 73%

Vitality: 71%

pH, liquefaction, round cells, RBCs all normal

The one issue is morphology with 1%

My questions:

How worried should we be about the morphology alone when everything else is well above the WHO thresholds?

Can strong concentration and motility partially compensate for low morphology in natural conception?

Has anyone had a similar profile and conceived naturally?

Trying not to spiral before the doctor's call. Any insight or shared experiences appreciated.
