Hey all
We had an appointment with the doctor this evening to discuss these. The doctor was mostly happy - seems that DH has lots of sperm with good motility but a high percentage of them are abnormal - the morphology number was below the figure for normal (can't remember exact figures though) I think that sounds pretty good but then I don't know much about that side of things.
Is there a way to make this figure better?? Obviously quit smoking is one of those... he's working on it. I think it helped when the doctor told him that would be helpful - but I knew that already, just glad the doc mentioned it
He has to do another sample to check figures again, but we're going to wait till either after ff gives me my lines or I'm back to day 1 (whichever comes first) before any more abstinence

Oh yeah and lots of fruit, though that could be the vitamin c thing.

Esther with the smoking thing has your DH tried hypnotism? Dh and I had it done about 8 weeks ago now and havent touched a ciggy since we had it done. We had the cravings afterwards but not the actual urge to go an have a smoke.

What about a general multi vitamin for men? I know Elevit do a male version called Menevit but it will be expensive I would imagine. Here is a linky for .menevit. I think in NZ you have to get it on script??

DP is on Menevit, and at this stage you can only get it in NZ via Fertility Associates, and its $90 + courier cost for a bottle of 90 capsules (take 1 a day). His results were a lot worse tho (count only 50% of minimum 'normal' range, and >5% morphology) and we have to go back as soon as he finishes them to see if its even made a difference.

The specialist told us folic acid AND vit C together really helps with sperm quality (both are included in Menevit), so you could get a script for you for $3 and hand it over to him and tell him to have it with some OJ lol, much cheaper option than $100 odd for 3 months
