Supplements like coenzyme 10 and fertility max has been shown to help improve quality. Sperm formation cycle is 10-12 weeks so they will make a difference 10-12 weeks from now.

I think zinc is a helpful supplement. Good luck!

No side effects that I know of. And fertility max has zinc in it.

It is so great to see men on the boards being involved in the process!! Sorry to hear all that you and your wife are going through. My hubby and I also have male factor infertility, and some unexplained issues with me. We tried for 5 years and 6 IVF cycles before finally having our little miracle baby, don't give up hope.

As far as the "improving sperm" .... I just wrote a blog post about this with some tips I have come across.

I had not heard of these things while we were still going through procedures, so we have not personally tried them, but we will when we start trying for number two! Good luck to you, I wish you and your wife well!!!!
