What SHOULD dh be doing to help with TTC??
I saw the previous post about what he's doing for you during this time, but it made me think about what my DH's part in this (excluding the obvious  ) should be. What can he do, or take to help out.

One thing DH has done has cut back on his caffeine.

Not at all!!
For me, my DH need to do two things for me:
1. Quit SMOKING!!! It makes me crazy that he still smokes (even though he has cut back a lot!) I go through all these painful tests and appointments and all he REALLY needs to do to help the process out is quit smoking. Makes me mad. 
2. Understand that sometimes I just need to be sad and cry and he doesn't always need to try and fix things.

My dh started to wear boxers, he hated them at first, but then got used to them. I heard some men take vitamins, but don't know much about that, or what they take.

Zinc, vitamin C, and bee pollen are all excellent things for your dh to take.

same for me!! My DH and I actually quit smoking together a few months before starting. It was hard, but now I don't miss it at all!!
He also is just there for me - he just seems to know exactly what I need to hear, when I need a hug or when I need to be left alone. He's been amazing!!!

Oh, I forgot to add: DH will make sure I eat healthy - although I do have to remind him to do the same also!

If you think there may be issues, have him get a semen analysis. It is painless (actually most men enjoy it, lol) and can put your mind at ease -- or let you know if he has any issues he many need to address. Your OB or his PCP should be able to give him a script and then he takes it to a lab like Quest, and gets the results pretty quickly.
