Infertility

Male "prenatal" vitamins? (ConceptionXR, etc.)

Hi ladies,

My husband was taking ConceptionXR and he's run out. I'm not sure if it helped, because we've had weird spikes in his SAs, but if he's going to take a daily vitamin, I figure it should be one that may help with his count. I lost the code from my RE for the discount, so was wondering about any other fertility-specific vitamins your RE, etc. may have recommended for your DH and your opinions on them. I'm looking for a multi-vitamin, since I won't have luck with him taking multiple pills (he rolls his eyes when I start popping my dozen or so ISWTE supplements!)

Thanks!

  • DH takes Fertility Blend for Men which he nicknames his his "super sperm pill".
  • Thanks, ladies! 

    I forgot to share (and I'm sure he would kill me for posting this) that he thought the ConceptionXR was making him friskier. So when I remembered that "side-effect" I decide to reorder that formulation, since I don't think he'll object to continuing to take it.
