Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 HI , Was he checked for the cause of the reduced count? Ie: vericoceole? Having this minor surgery alone can improve the counts. Other products that I have used with success: Standard Process- Symplex M Then your pick of company for: Carnitine, Zinc, CoQ10, Ultimate E, Basic Antiox (with A,C, E, selenium) by thorne FYI: Alt Med Review Vol 5 No. 1 2000 has a great review article on Male Infertility I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks for the link to that pregnancy study you posted 10 days ago . I wrote to the group about my client a few weeks ago. has been trying to get pregnant for several years now, with 3 unsuccessful IVF treatments. She and her husband have had a lot of testing with the result being 'unexplained infertility'. Thanks to information I've learned from this group, I suggested get her thyroid re-tested (she has no overt hypothyroid symptoms; TSH in Feb of 3.09) and her results were as follows at the end of May: TSH 1.14 (0.35-4.5)Free T3 4.8 (3.9-6.8)Free T4 14.4 (11-26)Anti-TPO antibodies 335 (<34)'s GP has now referred her to an endocrinologist (appointment at the end of August- yikes!) due to the high anti-tpo result. had commented after my previous post that a positive anti-tpo would be indicative of Hashimoto's...from what I understand, this might potentially be a cause of 's 'unexplained infertility'? But back to 's link to the trial :Efficacy and mechanism of thyroxine treatment on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women with thyroid antibodies: A randomised, placebo controlled,double-blind, multi-centre trial [The TABLET (Thyroid AntiBodies and LEvoThyroxine) Trial]. Looks like they give these women Thyroxine to see if fertility and pregnancy outcomes are improved. While it seems like a step in the right direction for connecting Hashimoto's and pregnancy issues, some of these poor women are going to get placebo pills..not sure THAT'S in 's best interest. The other option is finding a GP willing to prescribe Thyroxine, or better yet NDT, and then monitor if and when she does get pregnant (I believe thyroid meds have to be increased during pregnancy.) doesn't feel comfortable ordering the NDT from the States and dosing herself, especially if there is a chance she does fall pregnant. Could anyone give us/ any advice here? is currently trying a low-gluten diet and has also started on selenium 200mcg/day. I am also wondering about a product I read about called Thytrophin PMG (basically, a non-prescription thyroid glandular) which one user said helped reduce her anti-tpo levels. Has anyone used or heard of this? Sorry for this long post and thanks for reading. is just desperate for a baby and would do anything to solve this annoying infertility problem. Any input would be gratefully received!!Sally H, Naturopath > Hi Jackie , etc who mentioned pregnancy -also Sheila -I meant to send you this before.The link is www.eme.ac.uk/projectfiles/0910010info.pdf [ somebody please check I 've written it correctly]This is current research on pregnancy sponsered by the NHS .
