Hello Ladies,


I have been lerking here for a while...I think we are on cycle #10 now. But last week I was looking at my counter and relized all the supplaments I was trying and how I have been driving myself nuts for the past 10 months. So I decided to do some research.

Im going to find out.. we have a friend with a 12 yr old and in health class and were told their is something in the citric pops that kill sperm or lower the sperm count. I think its something to do with the yellow 5 that is added to them, not to mention diet pops contain the artifical sweetner that are horibble for anyone, they now say diabetics should not drink diet pops because it messes with your glucose.... one thing I have learned is our blood sugar in both of us needs to be stable for fertility. And yes caffeine is bad for fertility. We may have a pepsi every once in a while but we are sticking to drinking lots of water! Hopefully we will find out soon if this is true. Like I said he stopped drinking diet mt dew in January so it should be healthy soon. Im just getting so frustrated that im doing all the reserch looking to see what is good for us and he doesnt care to look at all!!

Audrey,


LOL! I hear ya! My bro-in-law and his wife , both nurses, told my DH to lay off the caffeine as well! They said it is not good. So he drinks Sprite or Sierra Mist. They are caffeine-free.


I just bought Fertilaid for Men and I too got angry with DH , because he is not taking them like is supposed to! That is 3 capsules a day for

Funny, I've actually heard that although caffeine is bad for women ttc, in men it can help their swimmers. I was reading on some REs website that before doing iui they will recommend the man drink a caffienated beverage cuz. It really gets their boys moving.
