MALE FERTILITY OR INFERTILITY

In about 40% of infertile couples, the cause of the infertility lies with the males. There are many reasons for male infertility. For couples who are trying to conceive, it only makes sense to have an evaluation done on the males fertility health when conception hasn't occurred after 6 months.

Should we have intercourse everyday or every other day?
There has been a tremendous amount of misinformation about the best way to time intercourse to increase the chance of conception. Most of this misinformation has come from physicians who have confused obtaining a standard semen analysis with promoting conception. It has been clearly shown, both with normal sperm counts and low sperm counts, that daily intercourse during the fertile period produces the highest pregnancy rates. You cannot "save it up" and you cannot have intercourse too often. The fertile period starts 6 days before ovulation and ends the day after ovulation.

Quick Fact: It takes approximately 72-90 days to produce mature sperm. Sperm is produced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To achieve its goal, sperm must have three things going for it: quantity, quality and motility.

Quantity. You're most likely to be fertile if you have more than 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen. However, researchers are finding that having healthy sperm (the quality) may be just as important as the total amount of sperm you produce. Of the millions of sperm in the ejaculated semen, only about 200 actually reach the egg in
a woman's fallopian tube. But, just one is needed to fertilize the egg.

Quality. It's not enough just to have enough. Sperm shape and structure (morphology) are equally important. Youare most likely to be fertile if more than one third of your sperm are of normal shape and structure. A normal sperm has an oval head and a long tail that propel it forward. Sperm with large, small, tapered or crooked heads or kinky, curled or double tails are less likely to fertilize an egg.


Motility. To reach the target, your sperm have to move.Riding the semen wave will only take the sperm so far. To reach the egg, sperm have to move on their own wriggling and swimming the last few inches to reach and penetrate the egg. Sperm movement (motility) is an important characteristic of healthy sperm. You're most likely to be fertile if at least half of your sperm are moving.

Supplements The following supplements have been shown to increase sperm count and/or motility. Allow 3-4 months for the supplements to work.

Xtracum pills are composed of herbs that for centuries have been used in ancient medicine to increase libido, sexual stimulation, and virility. Many of these herbs have been used in Asia and South America for thousands of years as male sexual tonics. In the past couple hundred years, Western medicine has forgotten the raw power that the right herbs can have within the male body.

These herbs tackle the male system and boost overall virility, sexual appetite, and hormones. In the male body, this translates to a larger libido and a vastly greater production of semen.
