Fertilaid??

My Dh is going in for a mtese in about a month or 2, Dr. gave us a 20% chance of finding sperm. He has an elevated FSH level of 9 but all other hormones normal.(he had undescended testicles as a kid). Now does anyone know if there is anything we can do to possibley improve his chance of a higher sperm production? Like Fertilaid??? The thing is, he was producing sperm at least in Sept. b/c we had concieved (ended in ectopic). Urologist (male fertility specialist) said he has seen cases were the testes just stop producing for no reason and start up again with time, we will be trying acupuncture but I was wondering if anyone has heard if Fertilaid or something like it has improved sperm counts??? Anything to increase our odds b/c we are doing the mtese on the day of retrieval for IVF with no donor backup. Thanks!

My husband and I both took Fertility Blend in 2007. While DH had a low count it was more for his morphology issues as it was the only thing I found that could improve morphology. It's much cheaper then most drugs prescribed by the doctor's and for us it worked! The website where you can find more information is FertilityBlend: Optimize Reproductive Health - Home.

All I can say is Fertilaid helped quite a bit with my DH!

Before Fertilaid (3 total SAs)-
count:17-20 mil
mot: 30-45%
morph: 35%

After Fertilaid (only 30 days)-
count:52 mil
mot: 50%
morph not checked this time

DH stopped taking it (30 days...arrrgh)
count:22 mil
mot: 45%

I've got him taking it again!
