You've been told your sperm shape is the problem—but is it really? In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down what sperm morphology actually means, how it's measured, and whether a low morphology score truly impacts your chances of getting pregnant.

We’ll explore:

  • What “teratozoospermia” is—and why it sounds scarier than it is
  • Why a 1% morphology score might still be totally fine
  • The truth about IUI and IVF outcomes when morphology is low
  • When ICSI is used defensively vs. when it’s really necessary
  • What the studies actually say about fertilization and live birth rates

If you or someone you love has been told poor morphology is a dead end, this episode may change the way you see the path forward.
