Healthy diet, vitamins, no booze, no smoking, no hot baths/hot tubs, no tight clothing, no gym protein shakes.

You will see a massive difference in 3mths :)

Half the battle is getting the man to actually adhere to the above - but if they want a baby bad enough they will.

We ended up having ICSI but our morphology was hugely boosted by a change in lifestyle :)

Ashwanga tablets

Lots of fruit and vegetables

Stress plays a huge part

^second the 1st comment. My husband's morphology came back at 0.04%. We now have a healthy 4.5 month old girl, no interventions other than quitting smoking, less drinking, no hot tubs / baths, and plenty of good foods and exercise. :)

Hi, was IVF the only option solely because of morphology? Just discovered my husband has low morphology and wondering if this could be a reason we haven't gotten pregnant yet.

we were told IVF and ICSI were the only options unless morphology improved, we have been trying for 2 and a half years and hasn’t improved this far and was told you can’t improve sperm morphology 🫤 but then after reading a few bits on here there is obviously some way of increasing it 🩷✨

Fertaid, countboost and motility boost really helped my husband! Went from we need IVF to conceive to normal numbers!

every person is different but if morphology is the problem (basically usually deformed) then the sperm struggles to get to the egg so ICSI sorts out the issue by injecting the sperm. Morphology means healthy sperm just they struggle with logistics of the task in hand šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

We would have got pregnant eventually as we had 2% morphology but my ICSI worked first time and we didn’t have to wait it out.

Sperm morphology cwn only be improved by all the above mentioned if it is caused by a poor lifestyle. If it's genetic, unfortunately it will not make a difference. My husband also has only 1% morphology. And he stopped smoking and drinking. He took a bunch of vitamins that improves sperm quality according to research.. And after few months it still didn't improve... šŸ˜•

I just found out my husband also has sperm with ā€œno directionā€ and now I’m realizing I’m 41 and maybe I fell in love with a man who can’t give me babies, and I’m heartbroken. All my fertility tests said I’m good and that it is and always has been him who has prevented us from having children and possibly me from ever being a mom 🄺

I hope your husband doesn’t read that. It’s heartbreaking for the man too. It takes two to make a baby and the blame should never be put on one person.

Avatar

I’m not blaming, I’m just in my own process questioning my life decisions which have lead me to 41 with no children.

it’s not too late. See a fertility doctor and do ICSI. My husbands sperm just used to swim round in circles but genetically they were perfect :)

It’s not too late for you. Talk to your husband if that’s what you both want.

I wish you well

He should try fenugreek and ashwagonda vitamins …my husband had the same thing and it worked for him. Currently due any day now

Avatar

may I ask how did your husband consume the fenugreek? Did he soak them or just eat the seeds?

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
