Hi guys, Food rich in nutrition have proved us good... all these while... but due to the work schedules my DH was not able to stick with that... in short from my exp.... i would suggest... cold pack & baths(never ever warm), almonds, pumpkin seeds, honey, high protein food... Juices... anything that is nutritious... dont make them diet!! Dieting is not good for TTC!! that's a false concept! if you want to reduce weight do it before TTc not while TTC! and last tip never stop medication until suggested by doc! but also there's not point in taking same medication for too long duration without much improvements! consult a good RE! My DH never had a normal SA but good enough for IUI, We had good improvements when ever we stuck with the said plan but due to hectic work schedules my DH was not able to stick with them which did the adverse effect(fluctuating and ending up in a bad icsi cycle) but fortunately it will return back as soon we start over! fingers crossed for all us!

Hi Ladies,
I almost read each and every post in this forum .I want to give some positive feedback on our infertility problem

We came to know that my husband having a low sperm count problem which is leading to unsuccessful pregnancy.The day we know about it we took an appointment with UROLOGIST.Did all sort of the Lab Tests including Genetic Tests also.All Tests came back normal.Doctor hasnt prescribed any medicine for my husband because he didnot found any problem for his low sperm count

We were completely depressed and spent an unhealthy moody life everyday.We both decided to get rid of this problem very soon and started a new lifestyle.We completely changed the food diet,Excercise,Supplements.Within 3 months we saw tremendous improvement in the sperm count

Important thing to note.If a man has a FSH level more than 10 then this will affect the sperm count.Generally this is a hormone and there are no meds to make the FSH level come down.But though the elevated FSH level causes the sperm count by taking healthy food and supplements we can improve the count.

Our count improved from 1 million to 20 million and We could see the change in motility and morphology also.Today we visited the Doctor and he said total Motile sperm count from 5 million onwards is considered as normal if the lab perform Density Gradient Sperm Wash.Some doctors consider this as 10 milliom.But there are couples who went thru IUI and conceived with 5 million total motile sperm count.So whenever you go for IUI please ask the doctor about the total motile sperm count.

Our Diet is pretty much very simple.We both used to take this Diet
1 Glass milk
1 Whole Egg
After Lunch--> Rice with any curry,sometimes salads,sandwich
4 different varieties of Fruits---> mostly should contain berries
5 different types of Dry nuts---> should include Brazil nuts,Walnuts Pumpkin seeds,Sunflower seeds,Almonds,Pista,Cashew etc
Excercise---> used to burn 250 cals on treadmill
Dinner --->mostly light food(not rice)
FetilAid Supplements
We used to take Non-Veg for proteins.No alcohol.

This lifestyle is very simple to do and within 3 months they will be improvement.One thing is we should forget that we are doing this for TTC.Consider this as a change of Diet then surely our brain also works faster to accomplish our target.

Today both RE and Urologist assured us that we really dont have to go with the IVF/ICSI for now and continue with the IUI(Natural cycle).

This is for the People who think Morphology is bad and not getting pregnant.
Our Doctor said no ones morphology will be perfect.Even a perfect man can have a morphology defect but he became a father.Anything from 4% is considered as normal.

Even for few ladies when the sperm count is better also they might think that why they couldnt become pregnant.For this i could say matter of time and god blessings.

So ladies dont get pissed off with TTC Troubles and fertility issues.Am sure most awaiting couples will be bless with success in this year 2011.Inlcuding me.

Please let us know if Fertil Aid is good or Himalaya Speman is good. DH has low motility issues.

Also, Do anyone of you know if there is any Homeopathy for increasing the count and motility? Is anyone using it? Did anyone of your DH made progress using Acupuncture? We are struggling to find out which route to follow - Too many options without guaranteed results.

We are following what is being mentioned in the Home remedies thread. But no result yet. Feeling so depressed. Please help.

Baby Dust to all..

Sperms will take minimum of 45-60 days for growth. Continuous usage of those home remedies for few months only show better improvement. Don't loose hope & keep trying! Hope things will pick up soon. All the best.

Thanks Vasu and Sasha for great suggestions. We've been following these Home remedies for almost 1 year strictly.. Used 6-8 bottles of Fertil Aid, Motility boost and Count boost.. Used So many Ayurveda medicines like AshwaGandha, Yuvanamrit, Shilajit Gold etc. Followed almost all Home remedies.. Anyways, no luck until now and after 1 year we decided to take IUI path right now as we already got fed up waiting.

Waiting is tough deal, but TTC makes us to do so. We need to grow our patience, which might help us in future.
Its nothing wrong in going ahead with IUI, it will increase the chances & gives only healthy sperm and follicle for fertilization. It make the job little easy for our body.
Hope soon you will hold your LO!
All the best!
Baby dust to all TTC ladies...

Thanks vasumathy ji for your great support and advise.. Yoga, ayurveda helped to increase my DH sperm count and motility. I got BFP last week and I'd like to thank you from bottom of my heart for this great advise. Home remedies really helped us. I advise all to follow Home remedies for both couples. I'll post what we did when we get some time. I'm now enjoying my first trimester.

Thanks
