Not sure what will boost his sperm - has the doctor given any advice?
If your OH is anything like mine, he will go into his shell and not want to talk about it and I hate it when he does that cos I always want to talk things through.
What I think I would do is let him have some space and not put any pressure on him so he will hopefully talk when he feels ready. He will probably feel like he has let you down so I guess reassurance is the key.
Maybe its good that you have at least found this out cos now you can do some research and tackle the issue head on. I am sure there must be some websites you can have a google on?
Chin up if you can!

Good luck, try and keep smiling and just give oh lots of tlc.
lots of love to you both, bluebird xxxx
bless him, he'll prob b beatin himslef up bout not been able to 'be a man' [as my oh would put it!]
my suggestions would be;
loose booxers and clothes, maybe jog bottoms.
take folic acid AND zinc or sonatagen do a multi vit for men ttc.
keep the testicles cool
dont sit for long times in a hot place, ie the car.
also there was a thing a little while back that said men shouldnt put there mobile phones in there pockets coz they fry the 'little men'!
hope this helps

I'm sorry to hear your news.. knowing men I'm sure everything that has been said is spot on. They are definatly not good with this sort of thing! Just let him know your there when he's ready to talk about it!! And remember we're here for you!
Zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 are all good, and keeping cool!!

i dont know much about problems with concieving but i know you can have his sperm and your egg put together then put inside you dont know the full details but it might be worth looking into that.
good luck hun xxx
great help
i know it sounds horrible but y me and him not some other couple, weve done nothing wrong!!!!
i think well try looser clothing, he cant wear boxers to work as he works in a nursery and quite regularly gets boners, not good with kids. but im putting him on multi vits with zinc and folic acid. whether he likes it or not. and hes gonig to gym with me .
but how do you know if a bath is too hot?
and is it true about mobiles in pockets damaging sperm?
thnks everyone
I am sorry to hear that hun! I know vit c helps - makes them better swimmers if I remember rightly!
If my oh is ever upset - he's not one to talk either - it's better to leave him to it and let him come back to you!
Men like to sit in their caves for bit and ponder - if you sit outside the cave waiting for him to come out it puts pressure on them and it takes longer for them to adjust - something like that is written in men are from mars women from venus! It works try not to force him to talk! Just give him a big hug when he's ready!
It only takes one sperm - it could be worse he could have no swimmers! Chin up hun and chat to you soon - I'm here if you wanna chat......
Take care - lots of love M

good luck to everyone
I was recommended Zinc tablets and an improvement in diet etc for my DH. Caffeine alone is apparently the cause of up to 50% reduction in fertility and as we all know its not just women who are advised to cut out the alcohol and cigarettes..
Very very best of luck ttc
