sperm quality

[Kat]

Hi, I'm full of questions today (see post on pg side) but thought I'd put this one here. If DH has poor sperm motility and numbers, and we get a fertilised embryo, does the sperm quality matter after that ie has it done it's job, or if it was better quality sperm is it more likely to implant? I have been surfing the web and found a few dodgy things like "buy this stuff and you will ejaculate like a porn star - cover your partner in sperm!" - not quite what I was looking for!!!<br>I know zinc is supposed to be good for sperm quality and DH has been taking this with some other vitamins. I think I may well be clutching at straws and am really not trying to blame DH but just want to make sure I/we do everything I can possibly do to make next time a positve. Or is there really nothing we can do? Surely there must be something? Sorry verbal diarrhoea there (better than the other kind)! I want to start now and do everything I can like no caffeine not just when having tmt and maybe if I start now by the time we get to Jan I will be so healthy I'll get a +ve no trouble. Maybe. Like I said, clutching at straws...<br>Kat xx

Hi Kat<br><br>Not sure if this is of any help but DH has been taking Zinc for a few weeks and his most recent sample was normal!!<br>All of the samples before were borderline so Zinc appears to have done it's stuff. Nothing else has changed so it must be the Zinc!<br><br>Hope this helps<br><br>Love Lorraine G
