easy i talked to dh's dr about what we can do to get it improved and she said he can go on a diet to lower his blood pressure nad cholesteral so that his numbers will be higher. the dr said it was all kind of linked together that hte blood pressure and sperm count depended on each other(rahter sperm counting on blood pressure) so we could get him to work on his diet and it might start gettign better if not i'll be able to get a referall from a dr to see a specialist
I'm so sorry his results were poor, Lissa. That really sucks. Now- that said....many Drs like to do a follow-up s/a because the results from one are not necessarily indicative of the whole picture- maybe he was having an off day?
I give DH vitamins as I have read several places that this helps with sperm production and motility. Vitamin C is the biggest- this will also help his cholesterol. I give 1,000 mg/day in a timed release capsule. You really want to give time release on this one as the body can absorb only so much vit C at a time- iron also helps in the absorption of it. I also give vit. E(sorry- can't remember qty of this one) which is also an antioxidant and zinc- which is recommended for mens health but you only want to give low levels of this as too much is bad. There are other things as well that you can give him- check out some mens fertility sites for more info. Here are a couple links for you:

i know it only takes One ot get me knocked up its probably the laziest one in hte bunch right now.
I can't wait to get into see Dr. to get started on why we haven't conceived yet and get all the fertility work up started. I am trying to be patient but it is hard to. Novenber 3rd seems so far away.

the only thing i can't have DH take is asprin( he's allergic so i don't want to take any chances). he takes a multivitamin daily. we're gonna see what the month brings if he can bring down his weight than we can work on bringing everything else down. we can't afford to lose the money from his second job but screw the money i want to have my dh. the dr wants to give him 3 months to bring down the cholesteral, but the weight and exersize need to improve soon. thankfully the dr took dh of hte blood pressure meds(i didn't like the side affects and thought it was to soon for meds since he's only 22) i'll be able to get a referall in hte next few months after i get a new dr set up so wish me luck on htat.

I've been away from the board for a week or so. I was wondering how you made out so I looked to see if you had posted.
I'm sorry you did not get better results, the good news is that with all they can do today only a few will do :)
