Michelle, Please don't give up hope! My husband had a normal count by EXTREMELY low motility and very poor morphology. The urologist we saw told us that we would have to use in vitro to get pregnant. We didn't have the money, so we decided to wait. After 3 years of trying I conceived without any help (drugs, IUI, IVF). My son is now 8 months old and eating yogurt in the kitchen with Dad. On another positive note, my husband just had another SA and it was MUCH better. There are problems that can cause low counts and they can be treated. My husband's couldn't, but it improved on its own. Good Luck!
