Sperm morphology

[kc21]

Dear All,

Anyone have any experience with low morphology in their OH? Could someone let me know what supplements they took ? Thanks all

Hi kc. Unfortunately there is no magic solution to increase sperm morphology, but some of the ladies here may have some ideas for you. Thank goodness we have ICSI to fall back on. Keep up with a good quality multivitamin and mineral tablet daily with some extra selennium and zinc. Hope all works out for you both. Diane

My OH was very low on all 3 aspects of the semen test. As Diane suggests, a good multivitamin (he’s just taken the well man pre-conception but we have bought proceive to use when that runs out), but my OH also cut out all alcohol, drinks only decaf hot drinks, stopped weight training & increased cardio, has a better diet with less takeaways & looser boxers. We don’t know what has worked for each test reading, but after only 6-7 weeks, his results were 100% better. xx

My husband takes Proceive, his morphology improved 👌🏻

Absolutely all of this!! Currently sitting here with a 1-month old baby boy and these were all the changes we did with my husband. His morphology and count moved to the "normal" range when we had our treatment and I am convinced it was the lifestyle changes (particularly with cutting out alcohol) that did it.

My husband started a multivitamin for men, his morphology was 4% in 2020 and one year later 9%. Not sure if it helped, he also started having Protein shakes at lunch. I can send you the brands privately if you want x

My husband was slightly on the low side snd he took impryl- not really sure if it made much difference- but we ate 36 weeks today …….

My husband's first SA showed low morphology(1%). Since the initial SA in 2019, he's lost 3 stone in weight and I've had him on the following supplements:

Wellman Conception for men, Seven Seas Omega 3 and Immunity, NAC 600mg, l-arginine 500mg, l-carnitine 500mg, 300mg ubiquinol coq-10 and vitamin-e 200iu.

His latest SA showed he now has 5% morphology (06/21). It's also worth considering lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, cutting back on alcohol and caffeine, no hot baths, no smoking and moderate exercise.

Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing which, if any, of the changes resulted in the improvement.

Impryl and Proxceed are both really good. Expensive but worth it. Impryl is a lot easier as just a tablet xx
