What vitamins should a man take to boost fertility?

My husband and I have been ttc for 3 months now and no luck. My husband doesn't take any vitamins and doesn't seem to ejaculate as much fluid as some of the men I have been with in the past. He is only 28. Because we haven't been ttc for very long, I don't want to assume there is a problem. I take Esther C and prenatal vitamins but have had a history of mild cervical dysplasia resulting in many colposcopies over the past 4 years. I also take antidepressants. Our plan is to keep trying and if nothing happens by Christmas we will consider testing. But in the meantime what can we do?

Have you checked out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility"? It's a great guide. It talks about figuring out when a woman ovulates and how to take advantage of that information.





Also, look into the TTC board on WebMD. They have a lot of different hints. There's even a chat and bulletin board where you can post questions.

He needs to be sure he's getting a diverse diet. Exercise regularly. Make sure he's at a healthy weight. Don't smoke. Don't drink. No drugs. Keep the boys cool - no briefs, hot tubs, etc. Take a regular vitamin. No antibiotics. Have sex every other day and avoid masturbation. Drink plenty of water - water increases the amount of semen but not sperm.





You should be taking a regular vitamin with extra folic acid. Also, make sure your antidepressant is suitable to get pregnant on. Rules have changed recently.





Good luck.
