Bob's SA revealed that NONE of his sperm had normal morphology.
Zero percent.
The other two factors were ok.
We were told to continue with the Clomid/IUI cycle while we petition our insurance to let us go directly to IVF after this cycle. I was told that getting approval should take 4 or more weeks.
Man, do things ever get any easier???

The trials, tribulations, and endless frustrations of a lady in waiting... Join me on my quests to learn how to be a great mother to Baby C, who was conceived via ivf, and to obtain my dream job in order to get the hell out of here!

About Me
- LIW (Lady In Waiting)
- Boston
- Looking back on 36 years, I believe that my life has consisted of various stops and starts interrupted by endless periods of waiting (well, at least they have felt endless.) The last two years have involved trying to get pregnant despite infertility and attempting to transition into my dream job(a federal position for which my name was submitted fell through so I am reassessing my career goals.) Both Mr. LIW are fertility-challenged but the universe granted us a reprieve and allowed ivf #1 to work. Little Life/Baby C entered the world on October 12, 2008. As I endeavor to overcome the challenge called new motherhood (and continue to be astounded by how much I am able to love my son), I also am job-searching. I learned shortly after giving birth that I was getting laid off from my great PR job due to the disaster on Wall Street. Please join me as I (once again!) deal with career angst and try to figure out how to be the best possible mother. Email me at Lifeinpurgatory@hotmail.com

I'm actually surprised that they'd have you go through IUI with 0% morphology...did they address that at all?
I'm so sorry...
Sorry you have to go to IVF. I hope that you get the insurance sorted quickly and you can get on with things.
Oh shit A. Hopefully the insurance comes through quickly.
Wishing yo ulots of ease with your insurance company. Sending Mr LIW lots of hugs
I'm really sorry. I hope the insurance company cooperates in a timely manner. Hugs.
That is tough. I'm so sorry you have to slug through insurance stuff.
I agree with lj ... why the IUI? Will your whole cycle (including meds) be covered? Hope so.
You can't seem to catch a break, can you? I'm sorry that you have to confront yet another obstacle.
oh no. i'm so sorry, LIW.
i hope you can get your insurance to do the right thing.
i know it isn't easy to hear this news, but does knowing bring any comfort? i mean that in the sense that sometimes having an answer is better than guessing...it's shitty any way you look at it though.
thinking of you and Bob.
OMG, that seriously sucks. Sorry you had bad news. Hope you don't have to wait too long for IVF.
This sucks, I am sorry.
Oh shit, that SUCKS. I'm so sorry! I hope everything moves quickly on to IVF for you guys so you can do something useful. I too am surprized they'd even bother continuing with an IUI.
Oh crap. I am sorry.
I ask that same question every day and my answer always seems to be "no".
Sorry to hear about this. Morphology is our problem as well - mixed with a slight motility problem.
This is the shits. I hope you insurance comes through - and fast.
