Just because the DR says, does not make it so

Here is another storey of inspiration. A client of mine was told they would need IVF, here is their storey on how they conceived NATURALLY.

We tried for 2.5 years and after various tests we were told in Dec 2007 we would need IVF due to my partner having less than 1% 'normal' sperm. My results were all fine and I was considered to be highly fertile.

We were obviously devastated but IVF was going to cost a lot of money and not be an easy process so we looked into ways of improving sperm count and tried everything. We started with diet, even though our specialist told us this wouldn't make a difference. My partner was eating more fruit and drinking fruit smoothies everyday, shop bought and home made as they are full of antioxidants. He was also taking a large number of vitamins and supplements including a male fertility supplement called fertility plus for men, a high dose vitamin c supplement, cod liver oil, l-carnitinew, l-arginine, pycnogenol, selenium ACE, vitamin B complex and zinc. You can buy some of these together in capsules. Some of them were expensive but no where near as much as IVF!! He was also wearing lose boxers, keeping his mobile out of his trouser pockets, trying to keep things as cool as possible down below. We also decided to book our wedding, this was in Feb 2008 and we were to be married in August 2008. This did take our mind off ttc a bit but its never totally gone. I can't be sure if all this worked or if it was just coincidence but in May 2008, 4 months after starting these changes I found out I was finally pregnant. They say it takes 3 months to make sperm so I think to be pregnant after 4 months of trying to improve his sperm would be a very big coincidence. I also have a friend who had the same problem and did the same thing and was pregnant within 4 months!!
Good Luck to anyone else, doctors are not always right so never give up hope!!

PS, dont forget, this also happened to my sister and her husband as well. They were both told they would need IVF as his sperm was ZERO percent, and they now have two healthy baby boys NATURALLY!
