male infertility

[avenna]

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions that might help my hubbys swimmers
has problems with mobility, morphology and low count..!
he really wants to try somethig as he's feeling a bit helpless after learning about all the injection and everything I have to have for ICSI. But that's not for another 6 months.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! xx xx

Hiya, I have my OH on loads of supplements - mainly taken from this list. He also takes macca (2000mg per day). His SA improved massively between the samples.

FS has said that the main problem is the mobility..he said with the other problems it is merely identified as a problem but it shouldn't mean we couldn't get pregnant. It's mostly the fact that they just aren't moving! x

On the first sample OH did, they were moving, but mostly around in circles!!! But his next sample was completely normal. So lots can change!! xxxx

oh that's good news. Does he take individual supplements of the combined ones? Just found one on boots that has all the ones mentioned on that website. Found a lubricant that says it helps aswell?! x

I have the poor chap taking loads of separate ones - he hates it, bless him!! I did that to get the right amounts, so just double check the quantities in the multi vits that they have enough. The one you're looking at could be fine but when I looked at the time, the only option was really separate supplements.

I think drinking lots of water is very important too apparently . . my OH is crap at that vit, as well as eating lots of fresh veggies. Oh well, I am too, so can't lecture him too much!!

Oh this is so indepth! lol!
where do you get yours from? Just lookign at the boots website got a few on 3 for 2.
looked at the samsar concieve plus lubricant....couldnt hurt i suppose. xx

Tell me about it!! God, I think I've tried just about EVERYTHING over the last 2 and a half years!! Turns out it was all a waste as my tubes were blocked, but I've told OH he has to get his swimmers in tip top condition for doing IVF!!

I think I got his from Holland & Barrett, and Tescos, and the internet...and ebay!!!! Yes, he takes A LOT!

I tried preseed, which is pretty good. Never tried the conceive plus tho - but certainly can't do any harm to throw in the mix! I swear I've spent a fortune on all this stuff!

yep just bought all my vitamins. God does all add up dunt it!!
Ah no thats such a shame about your blocked tubes. We're waiting for ICSI but got months yet so thought might as well try something else in the meantime! xxx

Sorry to jump in but Wanted to mention that my DH also has motility issues & my FS suggested he take L-Carnitine 4x a day! I've researched and looks pretty good & u can buy at walmart or any pharmacy however haven't retested to tell u if it's increased it yet!

Good luck ladies!!!

Hi

Alcohol, drugs and tobacco all dramatically affect the quality and motility of sperm, so if he indulges in any of these, he should stop!

TBH though hun, if you are having ICSI the little chaps won't have to move themselves, they'll be put where they need to me. I would say DH could support you but helping with injections, going to appointments and generally being nice!

Good luck
xx

Thanks!
He doesn't do drugs or smoke and very rarely drinks. Think he's just feeling helpless and I dont know if it's guilt aswell. Well we're getting the vitamins but we'll seehow long it lasts.
Made a promise too look after me aswell xxx
