DH is worried about his diet

[margaret89]

Hi all,

My DH is wanting to improve his diet and has been googling foods to help sperm but hasn’t had much luck, does anybody have any advice or a website we can visit?

We’ve just had our first failed cycle and he’s wanting to do everything he can.

Hi. I’m sorry about your first cycle. I don’t know if this will be much help. My OH had low motility and did a few things which improved it. He cut down on sugars, and has no caffeine or alcohol. He also eats lots of fruit, veg and fish. He’s on Proxeed Plus too. We’re now classed as unexplained. So it made a difference for us. Lots of luck😊 xx

Read “It starts with an egg” , that does give a lot of info to improve. That might help. Xx

Since my mc in Jan I also read it starts with the egg and put us both on a few of the recommended supplements. In terms of diet we tried to eat more fruit, veg and protein. Cook from scratch rather than buy processed foods. I tried to cut down sugar and caffeine (with varying amounts of success!) but we still had the occasional glass of wine etc.

In fairness we weren’t extremely strict and I constantly worried that I wasn’t doing enough. I’ve just had my first ever natural bfp but don’t know if any of this helped - it does feel good to be doing something though xx
