More info-vitamins to increase fertility

Common vitamins and minerals that seem to increase fertility include:

Vitamin C: A lack of vitamin C causes sperm to clump together. Men who take vitamin C daily may see an improvement in sperm count and motility. Vitamin C may also improve the chances of conceiving for women who are on the fertility medication Clomiphene.
Vitamin E: Increasing vitamin E intake has been found to increase the probability of success with IVF procedures.
Vitamins B6 and B12: B6 has been shown to increase fertility in women. B12 helps to improve sperm count in men.
Zinc: Zinc maintains testosterone production in men and leads to improved sperm count and motility. It also helps women use estrogen and progesterone more efficiently.
Folic Acid: It has long been known that folic acid helps prevent birth defects when women take it before becoming pregnant, but it also improves fertility.
Selenium: An antioxidant that helps reduce the risk of birth defects, selenium also increases sperm count in men.
Iron: Infertility in women has been linked to a deficiency in iron.
Prenatal Vitamins: It is advised that women take a prenatal vitamin when they begin to try to become pregnant.
Caution should be taken when adding over-the-counter infertility drugs to your infertility treatment. Excessively high levels of natural fertility drugs may decrease fertility and cause other health problems. It is important to consult your health care provider for advice on which, if any, of these nutritional supplements may aid in your quest to conceive.

Re: More info-vitamins to increase fertility

Wow, this is very informative! I already take prenatals, and DH takes a multi-vitamin as well as C & E, but neither of us take B vitamins (actually, would that be in my prenatals?). Guess we'll have to start on those.

Thanks

Re: More info-vitamins to increase fertility

This maybe a stupid question but is there one vitamin that has it all?

Re: More info-vitamins to increase fertility

There are some that include them all. You can look at vitamin world or something like that

Re: More info-vitamins to increase fertility

Also to the OP B vitamins are so important-they extended my LP by about 2-3 days which is important for implantation
