Please girls dont give up, if it can happen to me, surely it can happen to you. Nikki is your husband willing to try to improve his sperm count? i know some men refuse to deal with it.

thanks nikki and believe. i have an appt wit my doc nex week. i have been reading on certain topics. take a read:
The journey of a sperm is a long one, so having many strong, fast sperm greatly increases your chances of pregnancy. On average, each ejaculation contains 200-300 million sperm. However, many sperm die or get lost as they battle their way through the cervix, into the uterus, up into the fallopian tubes. As a result, only 500 sperm actually make it to the egg to penetrate it. That is a .00166% chance of sperm survival! Given those statistics, you can see how having as many viable sperm as possible is very important.
Healthy diet and nutrients
As with nearly all forms of maintaining optimal health, eating well is important. Here are some basic guidelines through maximizing your health through supplements and various foods.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet.
o Eat as many whole grains as possible. Avoid saturated and transfats. Try eliminating super fatty animal products.
o Eat lots of healthful fruits and vegetables.
o Eat lots of nuts, seeds and legumes. Raw pumpkin and sunflower seeds are correlated with higher sperm count rates.
o Eat organic when possible. It is likely that fertilizers and pesticides have a negative impact on sperm counts.
o Avoid too much caffeine.
• Drink lots of water, up to 50-64 ounces a day.
• Take a Men's Multivitamin. Zinc, selenium and vitamins C and E are associcated with healthy sperm levels. Taking a multi-vitamin or specific supplement with these in it, can make a difference.
Save your ejaculations
• Ejaculate less often. As suspected, the less a male ejaculates, the higher the density of sperm. While sperm count tends to regenerate every day to few days, if you are having trouble with fertility, try holding off on ejaculating until you are having sex at the peak times of the month. This can have its payoffs as it is likely to make conception sex that much more exciting and memorable. And when you are actively trying, try to have sex every other day rather than every day (even around the time of ovulation.)
• Have sex in the morning. Studies suggest that sperm count is the highest in the afternoon and morning hours. If possible, save your peak sex attempts for the morning.
