Accepted Answer

The : The gentamicin and Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) have no affect on your sperm or will pose any risk to your unborn child.
Relax. Good luck!

Question 2

what does it mean to have low sperm morphology and iui?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: When doing iui, you should try to have greater than or equal to 5 million total motile normal sperm post wash.  Generally with those numbers, as long as nothing else is wrong, you should have a good chance of conception with iui.  Good luck.

Question 3

conceiving with low sperm morphology. what are the odds?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Although normal sperm morphology is important in conceiving, a low value may be compensated by higher sperm counts and increased motility.  It does take 100's of millions of normal sperm to "get the job" done, you may benefit by concentrating the sample and considering doing intrauterine insemination or iui.  Make sure the rest of your testing is normal.  Good luck.

Question 4

does having a high rate of abnormal sperm morphology make you infertile?

Accepted Answer

Not always: Abnormal morphology should be investigated but many men initiate pregnancies with abnormal morphology.

Question 5

does 90% abnormal sperm morphology cause my 2 abortion?

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: Abnormal sperm can not fertilize your eggs in the first place.

Question 6

curious about stimulants and sperm morphology and counts. does vyvanse impact sperm negatively?

Accepted Answer

: By Drugs.com, vyvanse does not have any effect on semen characteristics but it may cause decreased libido and erectile dysfunction.

Question 7

please help, how much of each of these vitamins can my husband take to increase his sperm morphology?

Accepted Answer

Makes no difference: Vitamins have little if any effect.

Question 8

what is the best fertility treatment for sperm morphology with zero(0%) normal forms. ?

Accepted Answer

Donor sperm: is likely the best method of conceiving. Banked, frozen sperm, has been tested for disease over time, and should be a safe option. Sperm placement with intrauterine injection at the doctor's office, or in-vitro at a fertility clinic are methods to consider.

Question 9

what effect does tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 w/ codeine have on the quality/development of sperm dna and what impact does this have on family planing?

Accepted Answer

None: Most of the time it should have no effect on sperm quality.  However a substance that is used in a chronic daily fashion could have and effect on the endocrine system that might lead to an issue with the number of sperm.  Always keep in mind though,  that it only takes one soldier to capture the flag.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Both: For abnormal sperm shapes antioxidant therapy and intrauterine insemination will both help.
