DH on Vit C

Hi everyone,

I read some articles about how men on 1000mg of Vitamin C can double their sperm count in like a few weeks!

I've promptly started dosing DH up - our next step is a sperm test but he doesn't want to go for one so we are just going to keep trying naturally for a bit longer.

Anyone else tried the Vit C thing?

Hi CSM,

I haven't tried the Vitamin C thing, but it sounded interesting, so I did a little research. Here are a few links that I found:

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thank you so much for attaching the links. I am CD11 and "O" is expected on CD 14-17. Is it too late to start feeding DH some vitamins for primo spermo?

Thanks for the great links! VERY interesting - and I'll be sharing my folic acid with DH in future - he's already on zinc as well as the vit c.

Ellen - It's just an opinion, but I think vit c can start working within days - because the graph I saw showed a real sharp rise in sperm count after just a few days. Hope that helps - just MHO though!

Baby dust to all!
