Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,

Teratozoospremia is a condition where the sperms in the semen are of abnormal morphology. The count is not a problem but the structure is defective. This can be seen in varying severity where some percentage of the sperms are normal. Mild cases have a relatively higher percent of normal sperm and a higher chance of being fertile as compared to severe cases. Having this condition reduces the chances of pregnancy but does not necessarily make it impossible. Hence it is possible that your husband has this condition and you were able to conceive earlier.

Hope your query is answered.
