sperm count

August 21, 2008

I know that I am ovulating but I worry that my husbands sperm may not be viable. Is there any way to tell? Is there anything we can do to help improve sperm count and motility? How can you make healthier sperm?

Meredith... I would suggest that u get ur DH to have a S/A done to see if there is anything wrong with his sperm.

They do have some vitamins that say that it can help the man out but I really dont know if it does or not. It is called Fertility Aid. U can research it and see if it is something that u might be interested in or not.

Also, if u think that there might be something wrong with ur DH's sperm then I would say to have intercourse every other night so he can build some up. Also, there is some lub out there that u can get off the net that is called Preseed. It suppose to help with making the sperm swim better. U can also use veggie oil on the outside of u and ur DH. It is also sperm friendly too. U only need alittle bit and put it on the outside .

Good luck with TTC and I would really get a S/A done. If there is something really wrong with his sperm then u can try IUI or IVF.

Thanks for the advice Katie. It may be challenging to convince my DH to get an SA done, but I will keep trying.

Mersdith.. yes getting a S/A done would eliminate things so u would know if there was something wrong with him.

Good luck and my advice would be jsut talk to him about it. My DH is VERY shy and has never done a S/A but he wants a baby so he was willing to do anything.
