Rx's to help with MFI?

Have any of my MFI sisters heard of any of these drugs?  My DH has been researching online and he said one of these might be a good idea but I know that he doesn't research as much as you ladies research!  SO I thought I'd ask and see if any of you had any thoughts or in put about any of these.  Thanks in advance for your help!

 -L-Arginine

-Epimedivm

-Tribulus Terestris

-Zenerex

Keep in mind that my DH has low scores on everything...

TTC since April 2010 - Me: 26, Hypothyroidism, no other issues - DH: 28, Severe MFI - IVF w/ ICSI in our future, trying to come up with the $20,000 first - OOP sucks :-P - * SAIF Always Welcome * Anniversary

    We're dealing with MFI also and DH is taking L-Carnitine. But I don't have a lot of info on it. I think our RE nurse may've recommended it.

    DH takes l-arginine.  He has low morph - everything else is good.  It hasn't seemed to help the morph any, but his count did go up so there is the possibility the l-arginine contributed.  (He's also taking a bunch of other supplements too.)

    Hello, DH isn't on any drugs to help with his MFI but we were advised for him to take 1,000 mg. of Vitamins C & E daily to help w/his morph. & motility #'s. It's only been a few weeks so in his case we don't know if this has had any effect yet. Good luck to you!

    My DH is on clomid and will be adding arimidex and hcg injections soon.  We have a zero count.

    We have tried a cocktail of Acetyl-L Carnatine, Vitamin C, E, Selenium, CoQ-10 and even herbs provided by my acupuncturist.  We are low on everything along with DNA fragmentation.  Over a 6 month period unfortunately nothing has worked. Neither our RE or Urologist thought anything would be beneficial but they were OK with us trying it.  MFI sucks!  There are so many drugs to stimulate egg production and slim pickings for sperm production.  At times I feel like its completely sexist!  I don't think it hurts to try supplements though.  We were told the worst they can do is not work.  Good luck!
