Done Semen Analysis. Can I Have A Baby And Can Morphology Be Improved?

Hi my wife and I are trying for a baby for six months now. I recently did a semen analysis and the results are below Volume-3.0ml, Viscosity-Moderate, Non-Specific Agglutination 10%, Motility 40%, Progressive-20%, immotile-60%, Sperm Count-60 x 10^6/ml, Abnormal forms-80%. After these results i was asked to do a second SA and the results are below Volume-2.0ml, Viscosity-Low,Liquefaction-Complete, Non-Specific Agglutination 10%, Motility 80%, Progressive-78%, immotile-20%, Sperm Count-8 x 10^6/ml, Abnormal forms-90%.70% morphologically abnormal forms are associated with decreased fertility . So now my GP has asked me to consult a endocrinologist . I want to know if I can have have my own baby and can the morphology be improved? Please let me know your advise is highly appreciated.

Hi,

According to WHO 2010 criteria, any (normal) morphology above 4% is normal. If your semen analysis was done according to WHO 2010 guidelines, its normal analysis & no need to worry. Just ask your laboratory, what guidelines they have followed in counting morphology.
