July 5, 2011

Wearing a cup while playing sports and avoiding hot baths before sex used to be the only advice men were given to prevent fertility issues. With one in six couples now having trouble conceiving after a year of trying, it's no wonder that younger men and women are seeking to prevent infertility even before they are ready to become parents. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal identified several surprising causes of male infertility. Take this quiz and see how much you know about issues affecting men's sperm.

My wife's and my battle with infertility gave me an unfair advantage in that quiz. It is difficult to want a kid so badly, and to not be capable of making it happen. My wife and I both had problems, and were saving all we could to try the treatments we couldn't afford at first. During that period, someone recommended we fork out $300 to try a natural solution. It is called BeeFertile. It has a couple's kit, or individual kits. We gave it a try, and are happy that we did. After only 3-weeks, we found out we were pregnant. Hey, it might not work for everyone, but I think it is worth a try, if you are facing the costs that we were. It is vitamins, minerals, and herbs, so I figured it would help my body get a little more healthy, if anything. Best of luck to you trying. It is a trying time.
