I know people say there are alot of vitamins and stuff that we can take to help our fertility and I was just curious what they were.. I know vitamin B something is one of them, and some ppl do the cough syrup thing for the CM.. I heard to start taking prenatals.. Is there anything for guys? My DH is a heavy smoker I have been trying to get him to quit but I think that is having something to do with us not getting pregnant.. Any advice would be great..Thanks in advance.

I am taking multivitamin, 100 mg of B6 (I read about it a lot and decide to try it this cycle to increase my progesterone) and 800 mg of Folic Acid. i give my DH 400 to 800mg of Folic Acid too!

I take EPO before O for CM, prenatals, and baby aspirin (good for uterine lining and maybe ovary activity) and B6.

For your DH, I would definitely recommend lots of vitamin C. Vit C is VERY beneficial to sperm, and smoking actually depletes it from the body, so he should be taking that. Zinc is very important for sperm too (try not to overdo it because high doses will interfere with copper absorption) and for good measure, give him a multivitamin for the other vitamins and minerals he needs.
Good luck!

My doc reccomended prenatals and folic acid so I take them along with other vitamins for other things. I heard green tea helps with cm production.

Soy is supposed to be like nature's clomid. Its supposed to help you ovulate if you don't normal.

Vitex is good for girls with PCOS - also to help ovulate

Ive read in a number of places that green tea reduces your levels of folic acid. Even in the pregnancy book I bought for DBF.

Folic acid is good for men as well while TTC.
Good luck!!

If you decide to take Soy pm me... I took it for 2 months. I was getting + opk's so I know I ovulated on it! You only take it for 5 days just like clomid.
