hi guys, thought id share some info i just got off my free nurse consultation. it kinda depresses me a bit these fee's but i'll go into that later...
so.. as we have sperm issues with fertility her general take on it was this..
1. stop ashwaganha and black maca as they are a herb and not really proven - she said black maca would need to be taken in 3000mg for example and sometimes when you go excessive your body can just 'pee it all out' basically..
2. she recommended: selenium, zinc, vitamin d, c and folic..
3. selenium dose 100mcg,others she didnt go into..
4. recommended eating eggs for him
5. said wellmans is fine but read what it has in it and dont overdose on other supplements
6. said my amh 21.8pmol/l is good
7. since sperm issues has to ICSI ivf.. i kept trying for it not to be but apparently it has to be..
depressing part...
£1000 drugs
£150ish s/a they would want to do regardless
£200 consultant fee
£6000 1 cycle, £10,300 2 cycles (with 50% refund) and £11,400 cycles (with 50% refund) said ivf seldom works in 1 cycle. sending me a booklet. i genuinely thought we had enough money for ivf, we have 10k now.. turns out perhaps not! so dang depressing. id imagine going for 2 cycles would be best with potentially £2000 drug fees, £150 s/a and £200 consultant charges...? basically looking at needing 15k really.
*EDIT* Crimson Publishers Open Access Publishers was the page she was using.. you can search selenium sperm for example to see what it says etc etc..
