MzTenny: I would also consider taking a pap smear test. Those are good for many things and, if not else, it will at least give you one (or many more) thing(s) not to worry about |

FruitfulRay: Hey @fvine, Apart from these things maybe you could also try some more natural remedies like Phytoestrogenic herbs (such as black cohosh) or Non-estrogenic herbs (such as Macafem). Another advice that they also give to balance out your hormones is to change your lifestyle (exercises,healthy eating etc.) Also, are you on a hormone therapy? If you are maybe you can consider changing it a bit |

smithsydny: hey @smithsydny, depending on a person this can be normal in some cases and it might have nothing to do with your unluck to conceive. It could be connected to a different length of the cycle (which can vary from 21-35 days) or there might be some other perfectly reasonable explanations. Consulting with a doctor might be the best advice at the moment. |
Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by MariaBouli: 10:30pm On Sep 20, 2016 |
smithsydny: Dear @smithsydny, SFA means Seminal Fluid Analysis. It is a common test for male infertility. Seminal fluid analysis is one of the most important tests carried out to evaluate male fertility and should be done early. Sometimes this test is known as SPERM COUNT OR MALE FERTILITY TEST 1 Like |

@ MariaBouli, Thanks very much. God bless you. Hi @NIFES, I am sorry about what happened to you and I hope everything will be great in your next pregnancy. As far as I am aware there are a couple of tests which are pretty important to do before and during trying to conceive. What I did was FSH Level, Thyroid, Testosterone and Progesterone tests to monitor my egg quality and hormones. I also tested my fallopian tubes with a Sonohysterogram. And what I am during right now is monior my ovulation and doing ovulation tests starting form 12 days from the first day of my period to try to see when does my ovulation usually happens and what is the best time to try [/quote] 1 Like |

To all the mama in the house this is for you, just to lift up your spirit. The lord shall hear your prayer . All your labour( in TTC) shall not be in vain. Hear the footsteps of Jesus He is now passing by, Bearing balm for the wounded, Healing all who appy, As he spoke to the suffrer Who lay at the pool, He is saying this moment, Wilt thou be made whole? Wilt thou be made whole? With thou be made whole? Oh come, weary suffrer, Oh come sin-sick soul; See the life stream is flowing, See the cleansing waves roll, Step into the current and thou shall be whole. Blessed Saviour assist us To rest on thy word; Let the soul healing power On us be outpoured; Wash alway every sin -spot Take perfect control, Say to each trusting spirit, Thy faith makes thee whole. 9 Likes 1 Share |

The Male Fertility Diet Wondering about a Fertility Diet for men? What a man eats during the preconception stage is just as important as what the woman is eating, especially if you are experiencing fertility issues. Some of the important reasons for men to eat a healthy fertility diet are: Protecting and encourage healthy DNA – this will be passed on and be responsible for creating half of your child, the other half being provided by the woman. Certain chemicals and nutrition deficiencies can damage DNA while healthy foods that contain DNA protecting antioxidants and nutrients can help to reverse the damage caused to DNA from smoking, pesticides, alcohol and chemicals. Recent studies have shown that 85% of the sperm produced by a healthy male is DNA-damaged. Promote sperm health – eating a nutrient dense diet can help to not only prevent damage to your sperm, but can also help to promote sperm health. Nutrients such as zinc, selenium and vitamin C (plus many others) have been shown to help increase sperm health, motility and mobility. Just over the last 50 years, male sperm counts have declined rapidly – originally a common/healthy number was 500 million. Now, anything under 20 million is considered a low sperm count. Health during conception = healthy pregnancy = healthy baby – Your future child will be created from you and your partners DNA. Preparing for conception helps to set you up for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Switching your eating habits at least 3 months before conception can help you create healthy sperm (sperm is produced in a 3 month cycle; what you eat today creates the sperm you will be using 3 months from now) as well as supports the eating habits of your pregnant partner. Encourage and support healthy libido – a poor diet rich in fats and low in nutrients and hydration can cause low libido and hormonal issues for men. This can make it hard for couples to conceive and also cause sperm to be of less than optimal health. We have gone over many of the reasons to eat a healthy male fertility diet; now we will cover how to eat in a way that promotes male fertility. The male fertility diet does not differ much from a woman’s fertility diet, but some specific nutrients need to be focused on in addition to eating a whole food diet. Here are some of the most important nutrients needed for sperm health and the foods that are rich in those nutrients. Foods are listed from highest content of the specific nutrient on to the next highest and so on. All foods listed are the foods that are extremely rich in the mentioned nutrient. Important Nutrients for Male Fertility Health Zinc sesame_seedsHaving a zinc deficiency can actually reduce testosterone levels; for men with low testosterone – zinc was shown to raise testosterone and increase fertility. Zinc deficiencies are some of the most common deficiencies found in both men and women. The reason for this is that zinc can be damaged when foods are cooked or processed. So it is important to eat a diet that is at least 50% raw foods (this is easy to do, take a look at the daily diet suggestions later in this article). Foods rich in zinc are meats like beef tenderloin, lamb, oysters, shrimp, venison (deer), but since we do not want to eat meat raw some sources of easy to get/eat sources of zinc are sesame seeds, raw pumpkin seeds, and green peas. Folic acid New research suggests that folic acid (in the B vitamin family) can boost sperm health. Men with low levels of folate had increased risks for sperm that contained too little or too many chromosomes. If an egg is fertilized with one of these abnormal sperm it could result in a birth defect such as downs syndrome, or an increase in miscarriage. Folic acid is found in lentil beans (1 cup provides almost your entire daily needs.), pinto beans, garbanzo beans, asparagus, spinach, black beans, navy beans, kidney beans and collard greens. One serving a day of any of these foods provides anywhere from 50-90% of your daily needs. B12 Has been shown to increase sperm counts. Many people are deficient in B12; meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Some foods rich in B12 are dairy and animal products. For most people, healthy levels of B12 depend on healthy digestion, which most people lack due to eating a highly processed diet. B12 is an important nutrient that needs to be supplemented to make sure you are getting enough regardless of the state of your digestive system. Vitamin C Vitamin C protects sperm from oxidative damage. It will help to increase the quality of sperm in smokers and rescues sperm agglutination (when they clump together). Vitamin C is another nutrient that is sensitive to cooking and processing so it important to get it from eating foods raw. Drinking store-bought orange juice will not help to increase your vitamin C levels as it has been pasteurized at high levels and lost all of its DNA protecting abilities; orange juice should be consumed fresh pressed only. Some foods that are rich in vitamin C (and should be eaten raw) are papaya, bell peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, strawberries, oranges, kiwifruit, cauliflower, kale. L-Carnitine This amino acid is a necessary nutrient for sperm cells to function normally. In studies – supplementing with L-Carnitine helps to normalize sperm motility in men with low sperm quality. Foods rich in L-Carnitine are nuts, seeds, and many vegetables, including artichokes, asparagus, beet greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, garlic, mustard greens, okra, and parsley. CoQ10 Acts as an antioxidant protecting the sperm cells from damage. Studies have shown a connection between coQ10 levels and sperm health. COQ10 has also been shown to increase sperm motility. It has been shown that our Coq10 levels decrease as we age. Foods rich in CoQ10 are beef, marinated herring, rainbow trout, salmon, organ meats, peanuts, pistachios, sesame seeds, raw broccoli, strawberries and oranges, eggs, plus whole grains that still contain the germ. Here are some fertility diet tips to incorporate into your current diet which will help you get all the nutrients needed for healthy male fertility… Eat only organic – Pesticides have been shown to be one of the main reasons for the declining fertility in men. They mimic estrogen in the body which can cause testosterone to decrease. Healthy testosterone levels is necessary for sperm production Avoid soy foods – Soy foods are another estrogen mimicking food that should be avoided. Eat one fertility smoothie a day – By including one fertility smoothie every day you are able to get an abundant supply of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in an easy to eat and digest form. Eat at least one large green salad per day – Eating a large salad that contains many different varieties of vegetables will help to supply your body with the nutrients it needs for optimal health and DNA protection. Make sure to add some raw sesame and pumpkin seeds on top for added zinc. Eat one dark leafy green vegetable a day – Dark leafy vegetables such as broccoli, kale, swiss chard, collards and spinach are packed with nutrition. Enjoy nuts and seeds daily – You can use nuts and seeds in your smoothies, as a trail mix, on top of salads and make nut milks. Drink plenty of water Drink fresh pressed vegetable and fruit juices – one of the easiest ways to get your daily supply of whole-food nutrients into your body is through fresh juices. Avoid dairy products or at least keep it to a minimum – Conventional dairy contains hormones (mostly estrogen) which, as stated above can have a negative impact on testosterone levels. You can replace milk with nutrient and protein rich nut milks. By incorporating these tips into your daily diet you will begin to have more energy, create a stronger immune system as well as promote healthy fertility.
