sperm analysis results: IVF or IUI?

[si_di]

Can someone tell me if their results were similar if there could be a solution....IVF or IUI?

I'm fine, i ovulate on my own and have no real issues with remaining pregnant. We've discovered that my DH does though, even after conceiving in a gippy last year with our angel Zoe :-(

These are his results:

liquefazione: completa
viscosità: normale
volume: 1,5 ml
ph: 7,8
colore: grigiastro
concentrazione: 160ml
concentrazione totale: 240 ml
motilità:
prog.rapida 10%
prog. lenta 46%
tot. prog.56%
in situ: 9%
statici: 35%

concentrazione totale con motilità prog. 134 ml

spermatozoi normali: 16%
spermatozoi anomali: 84% (testa 74%, collo 10%)

Thank you so much for your help.
I guess i'm just burning myself out with a zillion thoughts and what worries me is the abnormal % since it's quit high and the motility.
Tuesday we'll have a clearer picture of what we are facing.

So sorry about your loss...we are special people i think in that we see things in a much different manner than people who have never (fortunately for them) had to go through such a dramatic and traumatic experience. Sometimes i just wish i could turn off my memory because it hurts. I strongly beleive another pregnancy will help us move on with life and keep our angels in our hearts forever in a more serene way.

Hugs

Vitamins are good at helping the sperm count, motility and morphology. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and selenium together with a one a day.

I just visited your page. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my son when he was 5 months old. So I feel your pain. But his numbers are great for IUI. I dont think you need to go as far as IVF. Good luck to you. And if you need anything let me know.

I just did some research and all his numbers are in the normal range. His count is really good. 20 million is normal.You have 160. Thats great. Normal motility is 50 %. You have 56%. Only 15% need to be normal. So 16% normal is good. Maybe the only thing that needs work is the volume. But I wouldnt worry about it too much. His count is deffinitly normal. Have you been TTC for a while?

i think lenta = slow??? and anomali = abnormal. and those numbers are high. i am guessing he has a problem with motility. the IUI should help. reading your post reminds me that i want to learn italian :) my family name is rubertucci.

I too O on my own. I have no issues with getting pregnant either. My dh has a low sperm count. I have been dealing with this issue for almost a year. I would like to help you with the results of the SA if you could please put it in english.
