Thanks, but my morphology is 0....
Brief Answer:
No it is not zero
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
You are most welcome.
No your morphology is not zero.
In a practical purposes or fertility prospect you are fertile though the fertility is low but morphology is not play a very important role in getting pregnant.
You have to understand like this,if your count is low but your motility is fine and if you are having abnormal morphology sperm but there peneterating power to egg is high than the chances of pregnancy are high.
In your case morphology is not considered zero because if the tail portion is normal and motility is good than chances of pregnancy are more.
Now a days more than 4% morphology is considered normal.
And one time semen analysis is not sufficient to give an idea of your fertility.
I have seen so many patients where sperm morphology is abnormal but they become father because fertility depends upon so many factors.
Hope found useful.
Good luck.
