Which Vitamins?

Afternoon everyone,

I’m hoping everyone is taking care and looking after themselves. ❤️

Just a quick question. I’ve recently had IVF but couldn’t complete transfer due to OHSS and COVID.

Our reason for IVF is my husband has a low count. Can anyone recommend vitamins which might improve this?

Thank you 😁😁

‘Mediterranean’ diet

Take for 90 days and you should see an improvement.

Other things I’ve read/heard: Tell him not to keep his mobile phone in his pocket, also not to wear super tight jeans/pants or ride a bike.

This is a good article by my friend Sandra who is a fertility nutritionist. She recommends the Mediterranean diet for men with this issue. Zinc and vit D are also essential.

From April - September you can get vit D from the sun by walking for 20min with bare arms or legs in the daytime. In the winter months, use the DLuz vit D spray, minty spray you spray on the inside of your cheek ...nicer than taking tablets and bypasses your digestive system so it all gets absorbed. Vit D is also vital for women for fertility so you can do this too :)

Have a look at something like Proxseed and add in some Omega 3. Worth making sure on the run up to IVF or IUI that he has ejaculated regularly (but not loads!) and abstain the couple of days before, as it really helps replenish the count (this is what we found and parameters were classed as normal on the day). Eat well, no smoking and drinking within the government guidelines of no more than 14 units a week. Good luck xx
