    About prenatals - I am still not sure... I took them 6months before TTC for my DD...though my diet was perfect girlie....

    Is Zinc for DH only?

    What is DHEA and BY? - sorry for too many questions....

    I feel like my list is soooo small compared to yours....If i take prenatal, it might pick up some of the list like B12, Vit E ...this is what I am taking so far

    Fish Oil
    Folic Acid
    Vit D

    DH
    He is taking fish oil and a multi-vitamin that has Vit D, folic acid, B12, Vit E, some Zinc ( I need to get him more dosage to add).
    Zinc helps sperm, but you can take a little also. He only needs 50mg a day, I believe. Most prenatals and multis have that in them.

    DHEA is a hormonal supplement that helps restore estrogen and testosterone when you are older. (May have to google for more detailed explanation.) You don't want to try this unless you are over 35, and it's best to have your natural DHEA levels checked before you take it also. Too much is counterproductive.

    BY is brewer's yeast, which is just a nutritional supplement that is good for swaying blue as it has a ton of nutrients and protein in it.

    Look in the sways, there are lots of good lists of supps people took there!
    (2002) (2005) from 1st marriage. TTC since Aug 2010- Dx: low sperm count and 1% normal sperm. We are giving up and moving on with a baby-free life.
    UPDATE: surprise bfp in Feb 2013! It's a BOY!

    NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

    The benefits are that it seems to make higher quality egg and sperm plus it helps with building and maintaining muscle mass which will help raise testosterone. It also may make it safer for your overall health, to ingest more cholesterol, which you will be doing on the Blue diets. It prevents cholesterol from doing damage to your vascular system (they say.)
    Hey AS I'm younger than 25 lol, do you think I don't need it?

    Me and DH were taking 200mg a day for about 1-2 months. Theres a link to a blog somewhere where an ivf lady shares that she was recommended the 200mg mark for motility, and she noticed a significant improvement quite quickly. So maybe even to switch to one every other day if you think you are giving to much
