Thanks so much for your reassurance and expertise - my morphology is 2% but everything else is ok. The results can feel very final but your guidance is giving me hope.

Very informative video!

Glad you liked it!

Could you talk about pre thaw and post thaw semen analysis results? I'm using a known donor and the initial semen analysis was sperm count of 273K. Post thaw is 10K. I did get pregnant from my first IUI but ended in miscarriage. Could the lab have messed up? Or is that normal for it to drop so much? Is the 10K rule based on pre or post thaw?

Dr Lora - what are your thoughts on DNA frag testing? Do you recommend it when all sperm parameters are low (OAT)? We are trying to decide on IVF vs just using donor sperm.. it seems that even ICSI may not be able to overcome high DNA frag,? Tho I understand this testing is newer and debated, it seems there is some evidence dna frag affects IVF success rates, from what I have read. We are thinking it might be good to know before deciding, because if it is high, donor sperm may be the better route for us.

Thank you for all these videos! I’m a nurse practitioner in California and these are great

my sperm concentration said it was 1.56. I’m not sure if that’s normal it said concentration, M/ML, and then it said 1.56. and then, under the comments it said Too few sperm to perform accurate morphology. Everything else look like it was a normal range

Hey so my husband just got his results back. They tested something called clumping the standard range is None-1+, his results were 2+. My obgyn explained to me that his clumping level was high which means it can prevent moving forward. Also his viscosity has high which I was told that means his seman is too thick. I was wondering how can he lower his levels of both clumping & viscosity?

Best to review with your doctor or a male fertility focused urologist. Prepping the Sperm for an IUI would likely improve parameters

My husband had 2 percent once and then 3 percent, urologist asked him to use another lab and he got 6 percent morphology. Urologist says there is nothing wrong, it's been an year with all these test but we have still not conceive. Things are fine at female end, my husband already have a son from an ex though that happen 21 years back. What should be do now? Should we moved to iui or ivf

My husband has a Volume ( 0.08 ml ) And Forward Progression ( 2 ) they said its Hypospermia .. i ask him he said he was just embarrassed and probably thats why it was not a lot in the volume portion and we dis abstinence for 6 days ..

Hi Doctor, my doctor prescribed gondatropin injection. Is that harmful to my fertility and normal sperm formation? I hope you see my comment and guide me. I am very confused on what to do?

@drlorashahine

Gonadotopin injections can help boost sperm production. I'd advise you talk to your doctor about how it will work for your personal situation and best wishes!!

here are the general reference values for a semen analysis: Volume of ejaculate: Typically, an ejaculate volume of at least 1.5 to 5 milliliters is considered normal. Sperm concentration: A sperm count of over 15 million sperm per milliliter is generally considered normal. Sperm motility: Progressive motility of at least 32% or more of sperm is usually considered normal. Sperm morphology: A percentage of at least 4% of sperm with normal morphology is considered normal. These are general reference values, and specific laboratory ranges may vary. If you are considering parenthood and have undergone a semen analysis, it's advisable to discuss the results with a fertility specialist for a more detailed evaluation and personalized.

So a low morphology (my husband's is 1% after being tested twice 6 weeks apart) would be a big factor in infertility when trying naturally then? TTC over a year and nothing... My labs are normal. He has low testosterone as well. Just looking for some insights.

Yes stop vaping. Other fertility specialists on you tube have said this. Vaping, smoking, marijuana, alcohol etc are all very bad for male fertility. My obgyn said the same thing. She had a patient who couldn’t get pregnant for over a year. The husband finally quite these habits and they fell pregnant 3 months later. Stop vaping.

Hi, thanks for the video, how does transgender hrt affect sperm and if the doses affect it more and chances of permanent sterility or just temporary in most cases

@drlorashahine

HRT decreases and can stop sperm production in transgender patients. Preserving fertility by freezing sperm samples before transition keeps Reproductive options open in the future. There are some studies showing return of sperm production after stopping HRT in some patients. This is a relatively new field of medicine (meaning the field is paying more attention and researching more) so we’ll learn more in the future.

Hi there, we are in 🇬🇧 UK..we used insemination process yesterday, and my wife is due to ovulate today, she has had the cup in her vagina overnight, just to keep the sperms in the correct place for at least 12 hours, and hopefully the sperms should stay in the correct place to hopefully fertilise an egg..I think this is the correct method?

Lot of lag

You’re inconsistent with your naming of men and women. You refer to women as ‘people with uteruses and ovaries’ and men you address as men in stead of people with testicles and a penis, why is that ? You might want to evaluate how many people you alienate vs win by using such terminology…
