I got my tubes untied last Feb. 08 and after 4 months I became pregnant but miscarried after 10 weeks. We’ve been trying to get pregnant ever since I signed up for those ovulation calendars and reminders and nothing was working so I gave the ov watch a try. It told me my fertile days, earlier than the ovulation calendars said I should be ovulating and I got pregnant the first month! if I would've just followed the ovulation calendar on line, I would've missed my fertile time and wouldn't be pregnant right now but I am and I'm so happy!!

I hated peeing on sticks and charting made my husband feel like we were part of a science experiment. At 35 and 38, we didn't want to waste any time getting pregnant with our first child. We used the OV Watch starting on our 2nd cycle, and were pregnant by the 5th cycle....with very little stress and "poking and prodding". Thanks, OVWatch!

   ASK US
 

Question: What factors affect my sperm count?


Dr. Bates' Answer: Mature sperm or spermatozoa capable of producing a pregnancy are produced in the male testis approximately every 2.5 months. Therefore, a semen analysis may reflect a man's health many weeks earlier. Sperm number and quality may be reduced by poor health and high body temperature or fever. Elevation of the temperature of the scrotum by sitting in a hot tub may also be detrimental. Type of underwear (briefs vs. boxers) also has the potential to reduce a man's fertility, but the role of boxer shorts in improving sperm quality is controversial at best. In general, loose clothing may keep the testis cooler if prolonged sitting is a part of a man's daily routine. Although health and fitness are important, extreme exercise or cycling may reduce a man's fertility. Finally, the use of steroids, tobacco products or drugs such as marijuana is quite detrimental to a man's fertility, while some vitamins (L-carnitine and anti-oxidants) may enhance sperm parameters.
