morpholgy and clomid?

July 20, 2008

My Dh has a 1% morphology *kruger's strick), motility of 73% and a tatal motile count of 130 and a total sperm count of 178 (i would assume that is 178 million since it said right next to it (10 and then a teeny tiny 6) and im wondering if clomid can help him. If it increases the total count then wouldnt it give us a better chance of conceiving if he has more sperm even if only 1% of them are good?

Thx a ton

Hi Chelsha...it depends on his situation what are his fsh levels?...if they are below normal then yes it will help

if not normal no it will not help

if average normal no it will not help.

that might help also....

i don tthink they tested that angela - i have a pH on the sheet but not a fsh level?

Maybe the urologist will do that test?

here is another post for you...

yes it's time for him to see the urologis and get everything test and esp a DNA fragmentation...

Clomid does help if men are diagnosed with a condition called hypogonadotropic hypogonadism...In men with low sperm counts who have this condition, then Clomid will definately help.

However, many men have low sperm counts that are unexplained (or at least don't have this condition), thus clomid would not necessarily help these men...

the above infor is from the post "clomid for men"...then it says IVF+ICIS would be the best...

yeah, we did that twice already and im done with that crap for now anyway.

I just saw on my Dh's SA that he has "moderate hyperviscosity" and i have no idea what that means and no one said anyhthing about it - i posted a ? for it.

Thx hun!!

it basically means that his sperm isn't liquifying in the normal time range

oh, then he doesnt have that cuz nomal was less than an hour and his took 45 min.

Hi Chels,

unlikely that Clomid would be able to improve morphology :(

July 20, 2008

yeah i figured that but i also just thought maybe that if he had more sperm (with the clomid) then the more sperm he had the more good sperm he would have, ya know?

If he has 1% of 10 million then with clomid he would have 1% of 40 million, thats more sperm even if his morph still sucks, right?
