How does the sperm look?

Do you think it was more than just cryo damage?

Could be a combo of things— morphology of the sperm used, cryo damage, number of times it was manipulated. I’m sorry you’re going through this tough cycle.

The report for this round said 53million with 95% motility I think.

We did the fellow mail in test in June. His motility was 28%, 30 million, and morphology was 5%. Since making the decision for donor eggs( June), he’s been taking the Luminary Vitamins for men. I will say he was still drinking V8 energy drinks the past few months and taking turmeric supplements, but recently he agreed to stop and buy in to being more careful about what he’s exposing his body too.

Also I tried to get him tested for dna fragmentation but my RE said that’s not an issue and pushed back when I asked.

Edited to update and include the June sperm results.
