do any RE's take a holistic approach??

DH and I had an IF conversation, and he basically said that since IVF/ICSI could be maybe there were vitamins that he could take that could help his morphology issues (1%) I found online that taking Pycnogenol could help. I was also going to order FertilAid as well to take in place of the Centruim he takes now (hoping that it doesn't hurt his stomach like the one-a-day for men did)

DH has been overweight most of his life. My GYN said that could definitely be a major factor (being overweight creates a higher body temp.)

We have been actively trying for 7 months now and NOTHING. I have had CD3 bloodwork & an ultrasound. The bloodwork was "normal" but the ultrasound showed that I have a lot of cysts on my ovaries (but I'm not diagnosed with PCOS) Since I came off the BC a year ago I have gained about 20 pounds and my cycles are usually 32-39 days. I had a few that were "off" 42 & 56 days for those (I don't think I O'd on the 56 day cycle. I never got a OPK+ and I test 2x a day)

Should I wait a few months and see if the supplements work, or contact an RE now? Are there any RE's that believe in a more holistic approach to male infertility? We honestly don't have the $$ for IVF/ICSI. We have some saved, but are trying to build that for a downpayment for a house !!

TIA !

I would try an acupuncturist who specializes in infertility. They treat both men and women for infertility and have had alot of success. If you need one in the city, let me know, I love mine!
