Proxeed ? Thoughts appreciated.

Thoughts appreciated:

I’ve been looking at ways to improve Sperm Morphology & Low Sperm count. My partners Morphology is currently at 2%.

We’ve been taking ‘Vitabiotics Pregnacare Conception for him/ her’ for the last year, before we knew we had some legitimate reasons for why we may not be having any success. But following the new results from the sperm analysis we’re now looking at supplements specifically aimed at improving ‘Sperm Morphology & Low Sperm count’. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’m trying to be cautious about spending money on things that are questionable as we don’t have a lot of money. However I have seen Proxeed Men and was wondering if we should give this a go…? Anyone have any experience of this, or have any different suggestions. One issue I see is it says take between one and two sachets a day, which means if you take two a box only lasts 15 days! Which is very pricy.

Also? Does anyone have any reassuring stories of people getting pregnant naturally with low sperm Morphology?

Any thoughts of suggestions would be gratefully received.

:-)

hiya, my husband had suboptimal count and his morph was 1% - it was like this for a couple of years. He started taking proxeed, stopped drinking and stopped taking baths, and for our first icsi round they actually switched us to ivf on the day as they said his sperm was perfect. The doctor was even shocked at how perfect !

Sadly, out of 3 mature eggs, only 1 fertilised - they are not sure if it is because of the sperm or my eggs. So for our next round they are sticking to icsi and we are continuing the proxeed. It is expensive sadly :( but for us we believe it really helped. Good luck x

Thanks for this info, are you doing the sachets and if so are you taking one or two per day?

Really sending you so many well wishes for the next stage of your journey x

Hi! My husband has low morphology and our clinic recommended proxeed and baggy underwear. The morphology did improve in a few months in time for ICSI, which gave us a good fertilisation rate (75%) and embies in the freezer. Currently 23 weeks pregnant with embie number 2. Good luck!

Hi. My husband and I both took Impryl for 6 months before our second ICSI cycle and husband also wore loose boxers and no hot baths. That cycle resulted in our beautiful boy and girl twins. Wishing you all the best on this most difficult journey xx

Hi, my husband also had low count and morphology. He took procieve max (mainly as it's on 342 in boots) and as you say these things are expensive. Before supplements his count was 11 million and morphology 2% after 6 months of procieve max his count was 24 million and morphology 4.5%. He also stopped drinking and had a Mediterranean diet. X

Hey! Thanks for this info. I decided following on from your message that Procieve Max is a great option, especially on the Boots 342 offer so I ordered them and my partner started two days ago.

Thanks so much for this !
