Cycle Buddies wanted! CD 1 Feb 6! No matter what CD you are on!

If you come up with any miracle cures for the "Stubborn Male" PLEASE let me know!

I'm wondering if a fertility test might be a good idea. Finding out he's got lazy sperm may do the trick!

If you find this out let me know!!! My dh is soooooooo stubborn. I just posted on your journal...he won't even eat his veg...I can only get him to eat sweetcorn! He loves his chips although he doesn't mind eating potatoes either but there is no way I can get him to cut down on his beer. The smoking is the last thing I would tackle, it's his drinking I would like him to cut down on as maybe all his spermies are drunk and thats why they are missing the egg completely.

I haven't mentioned that test to him as I think he'll be stubborn not to do it.

Oooh girls... just read something interesting on Irish's Babymad site...

"Having sex in the morning would help since the semen has the highest number of sperm then."

This isn't mentioned in any of my conception books but I'll give it a try!

 

[cazd]

I wonder... is there any way to sneak a test out of him!
Oh wouldn't that be awful - but honestly how low would you stoop to make a baby?!

I have heard this before. Well you have to think...morning glory...dh always says that when he is more randy..

But to be honest it doesn't work for us unless its the weekend as he gets up at 5am to get ready for work during the week.

morning girls, jmac so sorry about good luck for this cycle

I have a stubborn male as well GRRRRRR!! he loves a drink he drinks about 5 nights of the week he doesnt get drunk really maybe on a saterday but he likes about 4 cans a night when he gets in from work im convinced this isnt helping the i think they will be swimming round in circles trying to catch there owne tale thinking 'this is the egg it must be' i told him if he was pissed his will be pissed as well,

what vitamins are we getting our males then? i want OH to get sum but i carnt find a specific vitamin i can just order lol anyone point me in the right direction??

Was looking at the fertility tests but we both have docs appoimtnets on friday so will see how i get on there and if its no good i will order my owne i mean we know what the NHS is like. Im going to tell a fib and say im in my 13th cycle instead of my 9th i know its bad but i still am doing it

Ok well deffo need to start my OH on sum vitamins. So dont forget to point me in the right direction as to whats best and where i can get them. Thanks girls lots of PMA this month xx

(oh i know this is embaressing but is it just me who gets really horny when im on my period lol....i need hosing down or sumthing)

 

[claire99991]

Hi, I've just started dh on multi-vits this cycle to see if that helps. I just give him a normal multi-vit one and checked to see if it had zinc and selenium in as think they are good for his swimmers. He tuts at taking them though!
CD10 for me, and on day 2 of testing with my cbfm. Normally ov around cd19 so the countdown begins....
Hope we all get our bfp's this cycle!

 

[Irish_eyes]

claire try:

20mg zinc
100mg selenium
Vitamin C and even folic acid is good

I am also giving dh Maca because its good for the sperm count and mobility. I am going to try and find a vitamin with zinc, selenium, vit c all in. Multi vitamins has Vit A in it and I heard that its not good for ttc.

claire my dh is the same with the drink. I think 2 nights he doesn't drink and thats because he has run out. He loves getting some beer after a days work.

 

[Irish_eyes]

claire I love your avatar...is that your daughter?

She is sooooo cute.

 

[claire99991]

Irish yea thats my daughter hollie, and thank you

Oh bugger i just thought i could get sum multi vitamins it would be cheaper than buying them all individulally. But vit A is bad? B***OCKS haha. ok going to search on ebay see if i can find anything.

Oh and 3 guesses where my OH is now? Over at the pub with his friends for a few pints i bet his sperm count comes bk terrible the sperm will all have a hangover haha

 

[claire99991]

well i was going to buy sum FertilAid for Men till i looked at the price think i will have a look in town tomorow in the health shops.

BOOTS!!!!

2-for-1 on vits at the mo... His 'n' Hers Pro-Natal tablets by Sanatogen are fab.
They come in 2 bottles - 1 with a pink lid and pink tablets, and the other with a silver lid and blue tablets - v manly!

Pregnacare Pre-Conceptions a bit pricey but it contains L-arginine - which is good for sperms.
Unfortunately the sanatogen tablets don't contain l-arginine so we're alternating.... pregnancare one day and sanatogen the next.

Though I'm definitely going to pick up some Macca from H&B next time I'm in there - aids motility.
Not sure about Horny Goat Weed though

 

[claire99991]
