TTC Advice & Tips

I am 41 years old and recently had surgery for severe endometriosis. They didn't remove any organs. My LH is 3.6 and FSH is 7.3 but my AMH is .16. Can I still conceive naturally? Also will clomid help me conceive?

Me and my husband have been tryin to have a baby for a year now. It's so hard to see everybody around me havin babies. I'm prayin and tryin to stay faithful, my husband is helping me keep my head up. So everybody just pray us and I will pray for u all.

If your husband or boyfriend has low sperm count that can be extremely discouraging while TTC. My husband was tested in June 2012 and his count was 30 million. Low, but not too much of a concern to my doctor. In October he had another analysis and this time is count was 11 million. We ordered FertilAid and CountBoost right away.

Around that time my husband discovered he had a gluten intolerance. So we cut gluten out of our diet. After researching ways to boost sperm count I read an article that explained that gluten can block the body's absorption of zinc - Zinc is one of the most important nutrients in sperm development. I read this in January about a week before my husband's next analysis.

We expected that his count would have improved from three months of FertilAid and two months of CountBoost. But could not have foreseen how much!

His January count was 112 million! My doctor called me personally to ask what we have done differently. I told him about the supplements and how we cut out gluten. He said the supplements helped, but the gluten probably made the biggest difference.

So if your significant other has a low count - it's worth a shot!

Hello! My name is Sabrina. My husband and I have been together for 6yrs, married for 2, and have been TTC for 2 yrs. We've been throug all the tests, my DH had surgery in Oct for varicocele. Dr said 3 mnths we will know if surgery made a diff, but we are still hopeful each mnth until then. Every cycle we track ovulation, the enter into the TWW with hope. I have 7 days until AF and it's so hard not to get my hopes up. Each mnth during TWW we seem to find similar symtoms, but always BFN. We pray this is our mnth! Ive had a few symptoms. Dry eyes, light cramping, tender breasts, gassy. But i always find an alternative for these symptoms. After 2 yrs we are not ready to give up, but its very discouraging. Especially when eveyone around us seems to be getting pregnant. We have faith in God and his plan for us. My husband is amazing, and stays positive. Each mnth when we get a BFN he always says "next mnth is our mnth!" I'm blessed to have him, but its really comforting reading all of the diff stories posted by other women! Well thats my journey so far!!!! Thanks for listening!!
