Cornell is the leading MFI research institution in the world

I just found their recommended list of vitamins for MFI

Vitamin C: 500 mg/day
Vitamin E: 200 IUs/day
Selenium: 200 mcgs/day
Multivitamin that contains no more than 20 mg of zinc and no more than 200 IUs of Vitamin E.
Folic Acid 800mcg
Co Q10 200mg/day
There is a product currently available that contains all the suggested supplements except CO Q10 200 mg/day. This product, Conception XR for Men, is available at www.conceptionxr.com. It can be used with CO Q10 200 mg/day to fulfill the recommended vitamin regime.

Ijust ordered 1 month supply of Conception XR - DH has been on Fertile Aid for the past 2 months, but now that we've found this, we're going to try it for the last 30 days before DH's biopsy - I know spermies take 72-90 days to develop, but hopefully this potent stuff will give his spermies that last extra boost we need!

I'll let you know if it seems to work or not. It's $80/month, so not cheap. But if it gives us good spermies, it's the best $80 I ever spent!!

You can actually buy all of those vitamins separately, and it will be a lot cheaper than $80 a month. CoQ10 is expensive, but the others are very cheap. We ended up trying vitamins for awhile (didn't work at all for us), and DH was on 12-13 per day, but it was nowhere near $80 a month.

Definitely let us know how it goes Juli! I'm going to have to get DH back on some vitamins. He was taking them, but kept forgetting, & then quit altogether. Men!

My DF did a whole bunch of pills (like 20 a day) and it helped big time and wasnt anywhere near that expensive (although Co-q 10 is hecka expensive Its like 13.00 for 30 or something). Keep using the fertilaid -- that helps with sperm viability!

I'll make sure to update!! DH and I are actually thinking about paying out of pocket for one more SA before he does the biopsy - chances are his results will still suck, but who knows - maybe after 3 months of healthy eating, exercise, fertilaid/conceptionxr/vitamns, boxers instead of briefs, and killing that random bacterial infection we both had (causes recurrent miscarriages for women and low sperm counts for men) - he will go from 20 sperm to... 100?? 1000? Hey, I'll even take 30 or 40 at this point!! Seems like it's worth checking at least before he goes in for some pretty invasive surgery!!
