Lin, Asiafrighter, did your dh just walk into O & G clinic and ask for a SA? How did your dh make the request?
One of the tcm ever told us that it is better not to put the handphone or ipad near the man's reproduction part because radiation from the phone will kill the sperms. I am not sure how truth. Also it is better to wear loose undergarment so that their part can be cooled down because sperms cannot tahan too hot.

Lin, i took them for about 3 months before i took a 2nd SA. Must continue to take as sperm needs to take about 2-3 months to mature. We did IVF. Nonetheless, you still need active sperms to make good fertilized embryos.
In general, 1) no handphone in side pockets, 2) wear boxers only at home, 3) try not to wear jeans when going out, 4) no sauna, steam bath or hot jaccuzzi, 5) drinks lots of fluid, 6) high intake of food with anti-oxidant, 7) those supplements, 8) get rid of unused sperms every 3-4 days (according to Dr Loh, older sperm is much less active and quality not so good. no need to keep and have a blast cos production is on a daily basis).

1st SA was at TMC and 2nd was at KKH. Did IVF with Dr Loh at KKH last year.
we have asked the doc how to improve my DH condition and his reply to us is he is still looking for the miracle pill.
another question we ask him regarding his sperms storage, as to whether to keep or release every 1 or 2 days and his reply is a simple : it doesnt matter...
each time i come out of his clinic, i see more stars

Jelly, I feel that your doc is very demoralising.
Dh and I are seeing Dr Loh @ TMC now.
My dh also bathe in cold water to minimise heating up the sperms....

Jelly, you may also consider asking your dh to take TCM. It helps.

i think you can either go to Dr Loh in TMC, or Tan Heng Hao in KKH (heard he is quite good).

Babysmurf- if u r seeing tsb at ntu and don't want the students in the room, u can request it at the counter. The difference is that u pay the normal rate if no student. If there r students in the room, u get a discount.
sunstillshines, yes indeed i was very demoralise after one particular appt and upon learning of my hubby condition. went home and research on his condition and was very sad that I cry for few days.
m exploring TMC but DH so busy and stress with work that he got no time for BD

U mean those supplement is individual product right? Cos he is already taking many supplement.
Sunstillshine, just walk in or call the SA clinic at Novena Specialist Ctr to book for appointment. My DH usually bring the semen to the clinic and to on the spot.
Lin, what happen to your wound again?

Hi serene
At this stage, you should not stress about it - no good to your body. Take it easy and try not to think abt it esp those symptons. Some may not even have symptons during the 2ww and BFP. Anyway, good luck

Yes, Asiafrighter, I am trying to be positive... I was hoping that I'm those whom has no symptoms
Ravene, dun lose hope... as long as we do not see red, things are still hopeful. And, heard that the cramps of pregnancy is alike menstrual cramps.. so... be positive
You know, my DH dun allow me to do HPT, or measure basel temp, cos this will make us think more... so, maybe we should think positive... then things will be hopeful
Dian_tang, how are you doing?

Asiafrighter: yep, those are individual products. I find individual products more effective as it is concentrated, rather than those 3 in one or Multi in One. As long as your DH are taking something similar for that 3 areas (quantity, morphology, motility) then it should be ok. No need to double dose.
