Re: my hubby has low sperm count
DH has been taking fertilaid and his count has gone from 900,000 to 5 million in 2 months. still low but MUCH better.
in conjunction with the pills he also started working out and drinking much more water than he usually does and less beer.

Re: my hubby has low sperm count
my hubby went from 215 to 153lbs and he doesnt drink much which is good, he dont smoke either. we tried fertile aid didn't work, a few months of trying it and not getting pregnant it wasn't worth the money. we don't even use pre seed that much b/c we forget to. i heard fish oil improves count so he's been taking it for 3 weeks now. we are basically leaving in gods hands and praying.

I want to be honest and not get your hopes up because unfortunately, sometimes there just isn't anything you can do.

Re: my hubby has low sperm count
This was a post from LIFam poster MrsDevito that worked for her DH:
DH's Sperm Saving Supplements
A few people have asked for the list of things that helped DH's sperm so here it is.
Target (Up Up) Men's Daily Multi Vitamin
CoQ10 100mg
Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg
L-Carnitine 100mg
Vit D 1000iu
Omega 3, 6, 9 (2 pills a day as per directions on bottle)
Grape Seed Extract 50mg
Super Antioxidant (2 pills per day as per directionson bottle)
Ginseng 250mg
Red Wine Extract (1 pill per day as per directions on bottle)
Zinc 50mg
Baby Aspirin 81mg
Vitamin C 500mg
L-Arginine 500mg
B-12 1000mcg
Folic Acid 400mcg
Selenium 200mcg
Vitamin E 400iu
N-Acetyl-Cysteine 500mg
Maximum Greens (2 pills per day as per directions on bottle)
He also takes a probiotic everyday but that isn't for fertility just to keep the tummy and intestines working well.
While it worked for us I can't promise it will for everyone and I am by no means a doctor so please don't take anything without checking with your doctor first.

Re: my hubby has low sperm count
My hubby has the same issue. We were told that IUIs would not work and our only option was IVF. There are other ways he can have a urologist put him on clomid and accupunture and herbs with a dr. But, all of these things take months to take any notice.

Re: my hubby has low sperm count
We have 30.7% DNA Fragmentation and at one point had low count.
My hubby is on 50mg clomid/day. HCG injections and the suppliment regimine that Wishes11111 posted before. (actually our RE gave us a vitamin called CONCEPTION which contains a lot of those on that list).
Good luck, we found that our count is not the issue but the DNA Frag is... but anything helps!!!
