Need advice for hubby

He has sperm issues. Any RE is going to recommend that he take a real fertility supplement to try and help. It is not like Viagra. Walmart sells it. My DH took the GNC one.

So you're not doing GS this time? Why not just try naturally then?

I'll try Walmart tomorrow, CVS didn't carry it in store (just went out to check). Yes, still doing gender for 2 boys, re says if we have 3, we'll put back all 3 (he's big on just 1 though).
I'm just at the point where we've got almost 20k into this if we even get 1 normal, I'll take it! Boy or girl, just tired of walking away without. Met a 40 yo today preggers with #7!!!
I can't get pregnant naturally, my right tube is junk and the Hashimotos isn't helping though I've finally got it under control. Spent the last 2 years getting healthy, my fsh averages 6.3, not bad at 42.

My 2 cents is to try dropping the maca (actually wean him off it over the course of a month-6 weeks). Replace with a good male fertility supp.

The thing with these hormonal supps is that they DO stuff that adds up over the course of time and there is really no data on long term use of any of them. Something that has been studied for 8-12 weeks, and seems to work great in that short time period, accumulates over the course of time and can do bad stuff. In the short term Maca may help his hormones and boost sperm count, but hormones are in this delicate balance and over time if you mess with that balance, things that start off being positive, end up being negative.

I was able to find the Cyvita after trying a few WalMarts (price drop/disco, completely out) so he'll be on it daily now. We start my ivf cycle in the next 3 weeks. That gives him 6 solid weeks on it.

good luck and a ton of sticky blue dust headed your way.

Old post, but do they still make this stuff? Their website is gone.
What is the now recommended supplement for male DNA fragmentation support?

I'd just do the carnitine if you can't find it.
