low sperm count advice needed!
We have just had some news. My H2B has a very low sperm count. This is probably the reason we cant conceive. He feels sooo down at the moment and he feels like a failure.
Has anyone been in a similar situation with their other halfs and what advice have you been given?
Sorry to be nosey but we really dont know where to go from here.
We have a doctors appointment at 4 today.

My H2B works with a lot of metal as he is a fork lift and lorry mechanic. I have heard that if men work with metal, it affects their sperm. I dont know if this is true!

Also no alcohol, caffeine and keep his 'area' cool. So boxers instead of briefs, no hot baths.
Brazil nuts have selenium in which is meant to be good - I get my man to eat 5 a day!

Was this is first "SA" if so the should ask him to do another one in a month or so to check it wasn't just a one-off bad result - that's what we are having to do - need to book hubby back in for his second one.
I too have gone out and bought Zinc, Selenium and some Vitamin B complex for hubby - fingers crossed that will help.
It is so frustrating tho - I found out at the weekend that 4 - yep 4 of my closest friends are all PG - due from end of Nov, through Dec and last one beg. Jan - GUTTED - when is it our turn?!

My oh did his sperm test and it came back as slightly low volume....so we decided not to bd as much - think we were doing it too much and he wasn't having enough time to
produce more spermies- well the month we did that i got my bfp! So must've worked, unfortunately i had a mmc but this might be an idea with you too if your oh has low count.
Also my oh takes 'wellman' which has zinc, folic acid etc in.
Good luck! xx
