Here is the original post from a lady names Brittany.... http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f5...must-read.html (For those who asked..... A MUST READ!!)


we originally thought it was DH that was having fertility issues (b4 the SA). I did some research to see what we could do. I found a web site that spoke of certain vitamins that help with sperm count and function. DH took these for about 4 mths straight and let me tell you, WOW! his sex drive went through the roof due to the increase in testosterone. plus, when we had the SA done, his count was way above average, with well above average counts of perfectly formed, active motile sperm swimming upstream! so I recommend this to everyone! since it takes 2 mths for sperm to mature, I recommend taking for at least 2 mths, but increased libido should be noticed within the week LOL!


Zinc 65mg a day balanced with 2mg copper
** buy a bottle of Zinc at walmart (about $3) and a bottle of multi vits.
you can take one zinc pill (50mg) plus ur multi to get the total amt for the day

Selenium up to 400mcg
** you get about 105mcg from your multi, and 200mcg from the actual pill

L-Argining need 4gr daily
** there is none in the multi, so he will need to take 8 of these pills a day bc each L-Arginine pill contains only 500mg!

Now, what do these pills do for DH??

ZINC----
has a DRAMATIC affect on sperm. Increases testosterone (needed to make sperm) and improves quality and quanity of the sperm

SELENIUM---
increases sperm concentration... A deficiency of dietary selenium leads to immotile, deformed
sperm and infertility ALSO PROMOTES HEALTHY PROSTATE!!!

L-Arginine ------ involoved in protein function and formation and is an essential amino acid (think of sperm heads, this vitamin helps to make the protein that is found in the heads of sperm!) also helps with motility AND RELAXES BLOOD VESSELS FOR A BETTER ERECTION!!!

I had my DH start taking vitamins back in May! i'm not sure if they help or not, but it makes me feel like he's doing his part lol

DH started this regimen today, and I'm hoping it works. Just an FYI Rite Aid is having a BOGO sale on 1000mg L-Arginine tablets. It's a good deal and makes it so he only has to take 4 pills instead of 8.

My husband <--- I love being able to say that, lol takes tons of vitamins. He always has and I have no idea what he takes but he did his own research and found that one of the vitamins he was taking was not good for TTC so he stopped taking it.
