chasing DH around with Fertilaid

My husband is ready to strangle me.
We had a loss at 9 weeks, 3 weeks ago. To get a jump-start on things, I ordered him a 3 month supply of Fertilaid for men. The past 2 weeks have been like this.

7:00am: Honey did you take your Fertilaid?

7:15am: Don't forget your vitamin E, honey. Have a great day at work!

6:00pm: Don't forget to take your shoes off, did you take your Fertilaid?

10:30pm: Honey, don't forget your Fertilaid. Can you buy more OPK's tomorrow?

P.S for those who don't know, they have to take it 3x a day. I am adding a double dose of Folic Acid to my vitamin regimine, as well.

I think he is ready to throw the bottle in the garbage at this point, lol. He is pretty good at remembering to take them, I just want to be sure since they are like $30.00 per bottle.
Does anyone know if this stuff works?

I am not sure if it will work or not, but just wanted to send you some baby dust.
This whole trying to get pregnant thing is sooo hard. Sending you a hug and wishing you the best luck!

We tried (well I tried and he fussedandcomplained LOL) the Fertilaid tea for women and I had him taking every root and herb I could find! We did this for about a year and it really didn't do anything. After 4 years of trying and the last year being herbal (even took homeopathic meds perscribed by a Dr in India) we went to a fertility specialist and got workups. With insurance, we ended up spending only $400 total for treatments and appointments and it took the first round. I would suggest getting a workup done if you have been trying for a while =)

He had a workup done, and found that he has a low semen volume. Also. I will never know why I miscarried, it could have been from defective sperm? No way to know. But, this is just for my peace of mind.

Sometimes you just need to let these things happen on their own....
being OCD about his vitamins isnt helping, cuz pretty soon he is going to start to resent. As for the low spermie count, let him build it up for awhile, as in NO SEX for a few days and just goto town when it is time too....
sorry for being blunt. Try a few more times and if nothing happens then its time to go back to the dr. and maybe get a prescription for you like clomid or something.

Its tough trying to move on after a loss. Do what you have to do to deal with it, and this might just be your way.
Just remember, you did get pregnant once already. That is certainly encouraging.  Make sure you have fun with the 'trying'.

Good luck to you!

 I think the obsessive routine is pretty normal--- at least, that's how I get (I'm very Type A :))
I was like that during the TTC-stage for my first 2 kids, and I don't know if all the supplementing and hydrating and vitamins and special lube, etc helped it happen any sooner, but I always figure it certainly can't hurt.
And at least then I can feel like I'm doing all I can do from my end, and the rest is just luck!
Just don't forget to have fun and try to be kinda spontaneous in the sex department--- you don't want your DH to feel like too much of a "sperm donor"! 
Good luck!
