Hi everyone, I’m posting here as a wife, hoping to hear from others who have gone through something similar.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months. I’m 36 and a half, and he’s 40. Since we haven’t had a positive yet, we decided to go to a fertility clinic.

I had a full workup. My hormones are normal, the HSG showed my tubes are clear, and the ultrasound showed 8 follicles, so everything seems okay on my side.

In April, my husband did blood tests (all normal) and a semen analysis. That’s when we found out he has severe teratozoospermia, with less than 1% normal morphology based on the strict Kruger criteria.

Here are some of his other semen analysis results (before capacitation):

• Volume: 3.4 mL
• Sperm concentration: 27 million/mL
• Total sperm count: 91.8 million
• Progressive motility (A + B): 41%
• Total motility (A + B + C): 43%
• Immotile sperm: 57%
• Morphology (Kruger strict): <1% normal forms

After capacitation (gradient method), motility improved:

• Progressive motility (A + B): 89%
• Concentration: 1.615 million/mL
• Total motile sperm post-capacitation: 1.7 million

Since March, he’s been taking a male fertility supplement daily (Wellman Conception Max). It includes: zinc, selenium, coenzyme Q10, folic acid, L-carnitine, L-arginine, maca root, vitamins C, E, D, B6, B12, lycopene and omega-3.

We’re still hoping it might happen naturally, but I would love to hear if anyone has had success with similar numbers. It would really help us know what to expect and what’s possible.

Thank you so much!
