To those ttc please read and answer: )?

Question

I have been doing some research and I was wondering how many using zinc to help with fertility? Zinc helps male and females with fertility so how many couples take a daily zinc supplement?

Answer 1

I love to read about pregnancy and I read that taking zinc can help sperm count. I also read that it is also very important for the male to take folic acid as well. So my husband is taking both while we are trying to get pregnant. I just started taking my prenatal vitamins since they have both of those and important extras.

Answer 2

my husband took zinc while we were ttc and it did increase his sperm count however it didnt increase the motility so he just had more lazy swimmers lol. i didnt know it helped women though...interesting.

Answer 3

Yikes!

Really? Are you serious?

Could you please make a list for me of common foods that are high in zinc so I can avoid them?

Oh please GOD do not let pizza be on that list!

Answer 4

yes i have heard that taking a zinc supplement is beneficial while trying to concieve, why ? for a woman i am not sure on that i'm sorry

but with the man it's supposed to increase sperm production motility ect

goodluck to you

Answer 5

I always took zinc in a multi vitamin before during and after TTC. Now even though I took it I still had trouble conceiving took me a year and I had to go to a fertility Dr. to get preg. with my son some people have conditions that all the vitamins in the world won't do a bit of good for. Now when my son was 6 months old I got preg. no drugs no problems or fertility treatment easy we talked about and 2 weeks later BAM there we were, but I was still taking zinc multi-vitaimin. So I can't say as a person who was TTC for over a year if it help me get preg. or not I'll tell you the only product my fertility Dr. told me to buy was a lub called Pre-Seed it worked cause I got preg. with my son and also studies show that folic acid taken by women of child bearing age before and during pregnancy reduces the risk of having a baby with spin-a-bifida (sp) so that's what I feel has definitely worked for me while TTC and treating my fertility issues. The rest may have helped but can't say for sure you can be the judge of that one I guess. So much on the market that they "say" works can never be proven for sure it depends on the person.

Answer 6

yes I do take zinc daily
