Is there anything a man can to do increase chances of a woman conceiving?

Hi Sarah,

Among all concerned about how to increase sperm count, one thing is sure that to produce healthy and adequate sperms, the overall health should be perfect. One should adopt nutrients/foods that help attaining stronger, healthier ejaculations. The foods that boost testosterone may help increasing the sperm count. For instance:

Zinc.Zinc is vital for viable sperm count, motility and a high percentage of live sperm in the semen. Zinc is present in semen and therefore men can lose excessive quantities of zinc through ejaculation - therefore it is critical that zinc is replaced through the diet daily. Foods rich in zinc such as lambs, turkeys, barleys, wheat, oysters, beans, nuts, red meats, raw sunflower and pumpkin seeds are considered to be the super-foods that can help to increase the sperm count in men.

Vitamins C, E and especially B12 possess antioxidant properties and are thought to increase sperm production. L-arginine, L-cartinine (amino acids) those are found abundantly in spinach, seaweed (Spirulina), poultry and also in sesame seeds, tuna, turkeys, egg whites are thought to energize the sperms and also to increase their production without affecting any other body system.

There are also foods a man should avoid in order to increase his sperm count.More details on source articles including things that can lower sperm count.

Zinc is supposed to be good for sperm quality and production, I have my man taking it!

Deficiencies in certain nutrients, such as vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and folate, may be particular risk factors for low sperm count

Also, no hot baths and to wear loose fitting boxer shorts, as these are known to lower it too.

Obviously, cutting the alcohol and smoking out and eating lots of veg and fruit goes without saying.

Good luck and baby dust! xx

To lower the sperm count: smoke, drinking. But to increase a chances of pregnant,you should have more sex.

Take a multivitamin. Wear boxers, no hot showers, no alcohol, no smoking...proper diet.

Normal sperm count can't be changed!

Good Luck!

I made my husband take vitamen C every morning this past month... And I just found out last night that I am pregnant!!

let them hang, really have him wear boxers, when the scrotum is hot it lowers the count, by letting them sway in the breeze they stay cooler.
