Can i still get pregnant naturally?

Question

my heart is hurting :( DP and i have only been ttc for 4 mths but dp had surgery for a retractile t******e when he was younger so he went for s***n analysis just to check everything was ok, of which the dr seemed to think there would be no complications. Unfortunately we were told on Monday that "the results weren't great results but they weren't hopeless". His volume was great (4.5ml) as oppose to normal of about 2.5 ml. PH was normal, morphology normal, his count was higher than average (72 million) but his motility was 16% (when it should have been 20/25% for type A sperm) and his vitality (the best live, motile sperm) was only 4% (when it should have been 20/25%) We are completely gutted to the point that i've taken a few days off work and am sick with the stress of it. The dr believes that natural conception is possible but i don't know whether he's just trying to raise our hopes. DP has to go for another test in 6 wks and if the results are similar and then we will be referred to the fertility clinic. can we still have a baby on our own? if not what are our options and how much do they cost ? (ps i live in the UK) what are the chances of us conceiving?

Answer 1

i think it might be possible but im not sure

Answer 2

it only takes one...make sure your doing the deed every other day to give him time to build his buddies back up again...

Answer 3

I would say NEVER give up hope no matter what. Even though your husband has slower sperm or less mobility doesnt mean you can't have a baby.. Have you thought about checking your fertility signs? If you know when youre ovulating, then you'll know about the timeframe you and your husband should be having lots of baby making s*x. You can also buy some lubricant called Pre~Seed that is supposed to help protect sperm from your hostile cervical mucus. Ive seen that lots of women had success using it (which is my next step too) Just research on the internet and maybe buy your husband some good multi-vitamins. Try not to stress out too much!!

Just take it day by day and remember that it only takes ONE swimmer to win the race!!! Good luck :)

Answer 4

You can definitely get pregnant on your own.  It might take longer, but it is possible.  At least you have normal morphology.  They say morphology might be more important than the actual sperm count.  Abnormal sperm cannot swim to an egg and cannot fertilize it.  My hubby only has 1% normal sperm, so imagine that.  If I believe we can do it then I definitely believe you can do it.
