This is all I have at the moment. Is 5% morphology good for my husband

Brief Answer:
You can try naturally

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These reports look fine. I dont think low LH is a problem. Infact high LH was expected as you have Polycystic ovaries ( as per your doctor's ultrasound scan report you had mentioned). High LH would have been a problem. LH 1.7 is fine.

Your husband's morphology is also good. You can try naturally.
