wantabub,

We conceived on our won 2x, so it's not impossible. When our family dr. saw the results, she said that it wasn't impossible, just that it would take longer.

However, maybe it also depends on what your DH's other numbers are. My DH has 1% morph, but so far, the RE has only mentioned IUI. DH's number is quite high and motility is good, so that's probably why the RE thinks IUI could work with us. In fact, at our 1st IUI, (we did 2 b2b), both samples were almost 50 million sperm, over 95% motility (I can't remember the exact number). They don't look at morph after washing.

I'm sure if it was our 6th IUI, the RE might start to suggest other options.

Also, I'm not sure that your morph is bad because the count is bad. The morph is basically saying, if you have 100 sperm, only 1 (or whatever percent) is normal. Has your DH had a scrotal u/s and been checked out for a varicolcele?

Hope this helps!
