Yes it increases testosterone production naturally in men which also increases the sperm count, my last BFP was after he had taken shots of 200iu a day for several months. he was also on a healthy diet and does not drink or smoke.

This thread is older, but one thing I've noticed as scrolling through, is that many have finally had their bfps after years, months and lots of heartache in trying. I have been ttc for 17 months, natural, had one bfp that ended in miscarriage at 5-6 weeks. Still grieving that loss. But I was able to think for a brief moment, that the glimmer of hope that a bfp provided wiped away some of the heartache of trying for so long. (Some!) I feel like I have my down days, bc there's no guarantee of any end to the ttc journey. But, I also trust in a God who knows my future, and I trust that he knows the end of this journey. So that's where my encouragement comes from. Here's my stats:


1 how long have you been trying -17 months
2 whats the next plan on action - appointment with reproductive specialist 10/29/13 after my GP has done all blood tests, SA, and laparoscopic surgery and found nothing.
3 what have if any have you been diagnosed with - hubby has low SA but not terribly low.
4 do you currently have any children at all -No
5 have you had losses - Yes, our first "child" miscarried at 5-6weeks.
