See below: Sperm morphology is poorly understood. According to the The World Health Organization guidelines, at least 4 percent should have a normal shape. Though normal fertility is poor with <4%, success can still be achieved with IUI and IVF. The 3 main causes of poor sperm morphology:
* a genetic trait
* exposure to toxic chemicals
* increased testicular temperature
The last 2 causes may be reversible.

A little bit of semen landed outside my vagina (pubic hair area), even though I put my hand over it to not let any sperm enter. Can I still get pregnant?
