Trying To Conceive? Tips For HIM #PreppingforPregnancy #PreppingwithProxeed

When my husband and I planned to have our first baby, it took longer than we expected, and it seemed like everyone around us was magically becoming pregnant as soon as they started trying. It made me feel a little concerned, and I was doing everything I could to “enhance” our chances, from changing my diet and how I slept, to insisting my husband stop wearing his cell phone on his belt and start wearing boxers instead of briefs. I was part of Trying To Conceive message groups where women shared tips, old wives tales, and success stories as we encouraged each other month after month.

There is no “I” in the word “team”, and lucky for me, my husband was a trooper. He humored me and all my oddball commands, which was good because I’m sure it was stressful for him too. The truth is, women tend to look for ways to make trying to conceive easier, but we never really think about a man’s contribution much. Sperm health and quality begins to decline around age 25 and certain lifestyle habits contribute further, like smoking, drinking and stress.

I recently learned there is now a patented prenatal male fertility supplement specifically designed for sperm health. Proxeed® Plus provide nutrients for developing sperm. While he is supporting you, Proxeed Plus is supporting him ….nutritionally. You can learn more from the video:

…and Proxeed Plus offers a series of videos with more answers to many questions that can be found here.

Proxeed Plus targets specific metabolic functions involved in sperm metabolism, and contains L-carnitine and Acetyl-L-carnitine. It’s available in tasty packets that dissolve into drinks and is taken twice daily. It generally takes sperm about 74 days to mature and 20 more days to be capable of fertilization, so Proxeed Plus can benefit sperm quality in as soon as 90 days (maximum benefit is at six months).

Today I’m sharing what we tried and think was helpful for us when trying to conceive (specifically, what I asked my husband to do):

1. Switch to boxers
2. No cell phones near the nether regions- move to the shirt or coat pocket while trying to conceive (cell phones may contribute to slow motility in sperm)
3. Try every day to day a 1/2, and immediately get up and go for a walk. I know this sounds odd, but that “hold your legs up” after doesn’t make sense (none of this works by gravity) and many women in my group who got up right away to brush their teeth or head to an appointment after got pregnant that month (including me), so…it’s worth a try too
4. Relax! While trying, and when you do succeed, you want to be happy, not barking at each other because of how incredibly stressful this time was. It’s incredible how much couples fight after months of disappointment and (unfortunately) blaming, so instead, relax, be romantic together, go on dates, and try to just have fun with it all
