Hi can any one been under this similar situation , my doc is suggesting to go for IUI if IUI fail then for IVF , our case is reg. male infertility, my husband sperm count is 70million, motility is 48 percent but his morphology is low 16 % under WHO analysis.Will IUI be success for us?Is ther anyone who got pregant with low morphology? Would be happy if anyone share news reg. this.
Baby dust to all

IUI with low morphology
My DH has the same - great count (90+ mill), great swimmers (60-70%) but low good forms (8-10%)
We could have gone for IUI or IVF. We chose IVF because we wanted to get on with it and it had a much higher success rate. We were prepared to do ICSI.However, on the day DH's sampe was FANTASTIC - 24% normal forms!!! We didn't need ICSI and got 80% fertilisation from normal IVF.... We're going to try IUI with meds next. In a way it seems like a backwards step, but it means my body has a bit of a break before IVF again....
I think you need to do what feels right. I was really impatient therefore, went straight for IVF. I still am impatient but think given the improvement in DH it's worth giving IUI a go, though my doc says usually you have the same success rate in 3 IUIS to one IVF if that makes sense.
Good luck in whatever you decide. It's odd isn't it that one factor is bad - I'm sure it's to do with where the men grew up and pollution or chemicals in the water or something!!!
Take care

P.s. I have also had a natural pregnancy, so it IS possible, though we were on honeymoon, so super-relaxed!!
