I didn't realize it mattered if DH takes them--I thought just for us, we couldn't have them because they dry up CM? What does it do to DH?

I am not really too sure but am guessing it could perhaps change the consistency of semen?

It may make the semen thicker and stickier, which makes it harder for the sperm to swim thorugh it, meaning less sperm could potentially make it into the cervix.. You can counteract this effect by having him take Robitussin.
