Dear Candice,

There are medications that one may use in order to boost sperm counts and morphology and could assist you to possibly conceive naturally. You will however require a prescription for these medications. Fertility treatment is expensive but you could do the initial consultation in the meantime just to get an idea about what assisted reproductive treatment you will require and to get a prescription in the interim. In addition it is important to institute lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, weight loss if overweight, stopping smoking if a smoker and stopping alcohol consumption. All of these have been shown to improve sperm parameters.
