The last time we TTC dh was taking Fertilaid for Men, Countboost and MotilityBoost. He had borderline numbers on count and motility and abysmal morphology. We had been trying for two years without success and then got a bfp after one month of him taking this combo.

This time around, dh does not want to take all of the tablets, so I've had to modify what he takes. I have him on bulk powdered supps and liquid extracts that can be mixed in liquid. He's now taking:

Vitamin C
Zinc
L-Carnitine
Folic Acid
Ginkgo Biloba

I hope these do the trick, although I sometimes wonder whether there's some other magic ingredient he needs to try. Vitamin C seems especially promising.

Anyone know how long it takes for fertilaid to start really getting into your body?

It takes about 3 months for sperm to mature from start to finish. However, you might see results sooner if the problem is with the latter stages of sperm production.

My hubby is on something called Prelox which I think is similar to fertilaid. Then he is on a broad range multivit very popular with the fertility docs here called Staminogro.

Apparently for motility Preseed is very good as well! Helps nourish the sperm with antioxidant support.
