increasing sperm count Posted: 01-18-08 14:38pm
Hey ladies,
I'm just wondering if any of you have
some tips on how to up your guy's sperm
count? My fiancé hasn't been tested or
anything, but we'll be TTC in several
months and I'm just curious as to if
there's anything he can do diet-wise or
just within his daily routine that may
help keep his sperm count up & healthy. I
know about the whole "boxers are better"
deal, and he's already wearing them...I'm
just wondering if there's anything special
we need to be doing as far as nutrition,
etc. Thanks bunches!

YES!! There is DEFINITELY a few things you
can do....and I know they work because my
DH did these 3 things and his count went
from only 3% normal to 12% normal in just
5 weeks.
Tip #1 NO Drinking. A beer here and there
is ok...but alcohol can seriously impact
sperm quality.
#2 ZINC, buy some zinc at the drug store
in the vitamin dept. Get him to take one
tablet a day. This really helps with
Motility (how fast they move)
#3 Selenium, same as above, find in
vitamin section of drug store. Take one a
day. This will improve the quality of the
sperm.
Good luck! I hope this helps. Men can
change their sperm quality in a matter of
months, which is great if there are
issues
Good luck!

This is so helpful! Thank you so much! I
am trying to get as ready as I possibly
can to TTC...We're not going to
"officially" try for several months, but
I'm hoping I won't have to wait too long
for a BFP!
