We are about to start our first course of ICSI (scans on friday). My husband has oligozoospermia (?) I have regular cycles, ovulate, and am fit and fairly healthy!
I have read about whey protein shakes to help during stimulating follicles. I loathe drinking milk is there any particular foods you'd recommend to help?
I also tried accupuncture bit didn't find it all relaxing having needles in my feet!
I have had 3 IVF failures and am gearing up for my 4th attempt. I am 33 yrs old and husband is 36. i have blocked tubes and immune issues which will be treated in my next cycle. i want to make sure that i am doing everything possible for this next attempt and from a holistic point of view, should i start accupuncture now or wait until my cycle starts? i've had accupuncture throughout all cycles. Also, what vitamins should i be taking other than usual pre-natal pregnacare etc.. was thinkining of eskimos oil? anything else that you think would be beneficial?

I'm nearly 37 and hubby is nearly 35. we are trying for our 2nd baby. We got pregnant with our 1st after 14 months and then we had a mc after trying for three years in dec last year at 7 weeks and now nothing.
Does over exercising affect sperm? Hubby runs about 60 miles a week. We are getting really sad as doc said as we have been pregnant he won't do anything ill we have been trying for a year since the mc, I'm getting on a bit and just want to know if there is anything we should try? We both take vitamins and eat well and I gave up caffiene, we have tried the cbfm and we do have sex about three times a week around the two weeks we need to be .
Any ideas, do we have to wait a year before seeing son=meone when I'm 37?
