Male supplements
Hello all:
I was wondering if your DH's are taking any supplements in particular and what they might be?
Thank you!

Re: Male supplements
My DH was on these and saw a big difference....
Vitamins:
It is believed that taking certain vitamins may help improve your fertility. The mechanism of action is believed to be as follows:
The breakdown of oxygen as it passes through the cells in our body results in substances known as free radicals. Infertile men have a higher concentration of free radicals in their semen as compared to fertile men. Free radicals attack and destroy the membrane that surrounds sperm. Anti-oxidants fight against these bad effects. VITAMINS ARE NATURAL ANTI-OXIDANTS!
Dr. Marc Goldstein suggests:
Vitamin C: 500 mg/day
Vitamin E: 200 IUs/day
Selenium: 200 mcgs/day
Multivitamin that contains no more than 20 mg of zinc and no more than 200 IUs of Vitamin E.
Folic Acid 800mcg
Co Q10 200mg/day
There is a product currently available that contains all the suggested supplements except CO Q10 200 mg/day. This product, Conception XR for Men, is available at www.conceptionxr.com. It can be used with CO Q10 200 mg/day to fulfill the recommended vitamin regime.

My DH has been on these for about 2 months. I'm not sure yet if there has been any improvement but I'm glad he is on them.

Re: Male supplements
My DH actually took Clomid for about 4 months before our 1st IVF. It improved his count slightly.

Oh..DH is also on Clomid- just 1/2 pill for one month. I guess we are trying everything.
