well if you dip or smoke u might want to stop and take a good man prenatal vitamin. thats what my husband was told to do. he got the vitamins at the gnc store and stopped dipping and 3 months later his sperm count went from 2m to 22 m sooooo i imagine that couldnt hurt ya know!

thanks and could i know what type of vitamins your husband consume?
my sperm count now are more than 25m but the mobility too low and doctor suggest us use ICSI program.

ICSI requires nothing different from you than i regular IVF it simply means instead of letting the sperm fertilize the eggs themselves they pick the best sperm and inject one sperm into each egg.

Our RE had my husband do the following for a few months prior to our IVF w/ ICSI:

Take a men's multivitamin (w/ minerals)
Take supplemental E, C, Zn, B12 and selenium
Avoid hot showers, baths and hot tubs
Wear loose or no underpants
Avoid orgasm for three days prior to procedure

Of course, ask your doctor to find out what specifically they want you to do.
