Hey, thanks for your reply! Yes I am taking Actif brand prenatal and just started taking whole food brand 800 mcg folic acid. Is it ok to take Actif brand or you want to suggest something better? I just want to extra cautious this time while TTC . Also same diet I can follow for blue sway? Also Actif has folate rather than folic acid, so I shall add extra folate only or folic acid with folate will be ok?

The Actif has very high doses of nutrients (this is not good, too many vitamins can be worse than not enough) and some herbs which may be harmful. I would wean off that one onto something more "boring" LOL with 100% recommended value of nutrients (with the exception of Folate and Vit. D, which you can take more of than 100%) and without any added herbs. I generally recommend Women's One a Day but Centrum is also good.
I prefer folate for anyone who can afford it. You can mix folate and folic acid as long as you don't have a genetic inability to absorb folic acid (such as MTHFR) but folate is widely considered to be better.

Oh ok, Got you! Earlier I was taking Women one day prenatal only. How about the diet.? My AMH result came back and it’s 2.87 at the moment. Last year too it was April same number. They did sperm test for my husband too! Sperm count is around 39 I think as per them it’s could however lil bit of motility issue they said. I need to talk in details with my doc . My husband is around 41 and I will be 38 in July. Do you want to suggest something for him too? How about diet ? Shall we continue taking same diet as you suggested in your previous post. Thank you so much for your reply Atomic . You really give me ray of hope and I really feel positive!
Thanks so much again!

Motility alone is not a big deal. It is only when it appears with other issues that it becomes a problem.
I would definitely have him eat healthfully (those types of diets are good for everyone) and avoid alcohol, large amounts of caffeine (particularly in energy drinks), and stop smoking if he does. If he's on any medication he needs to check to see if it's harmful to sperm (but because his count is good I don't think that's going to be the case).

Since his sperm health appears to be ok I would not sweat that.
Yes, I would give him One a Day Men's over 50 if he is willing to take it.
