Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

#54I had a test recently and I have 0% "normal" sperms, when 4%-14% is the normal range. Pretty radical. The doctor said to take vitamins, to get testosterone to normal level, and to excercise. In other words not much to do
>to get testosterone to normal level, How does one do that exactly?
Lose weight, eat less sugar, be more physically active/work out, and avoid endocrine disruptors like xenoestrogens. The last one is probably the hardest to do since a lot of plastics etc. contain them.

Less soy?

#56The lack of federally funded research on this topic is astounding. It's been like this for a long time, but ignored. Even more notably has been the lack of curiosity from the media and academia. They simply shrug and move on, as if the root cause of this isn't something we should look into as potentially causing other problems that are even worse. Edit: The downvotes without any comment refuting this highlight the is…
Well I mean, given the public discourse of the past decade...it seems to me that they want the population to decline. So it makes sense that no one has in interest in investigating this.

#57This article covering well done meta analysis seems to be a lot more reputable that what was on this site 3 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33582534 I wonder if it gets as many upvotes? Or if hacker news prefers to get its fertility analysis from theoretical physicists.

Right now it's averaging 2 upvotes a minute. It was pretty obvious at the time you wrote your post that this will indeed get more upvotes

Lifting heavy objects seems to be the best way. Start where you are at, or below. Lift every other day. Increasing should be relatively easy in the beginning.

#59It is interesting, I have a friend group that consists of about 5 married couples all of whom have been having issues conceiving and have been trying for a while now, but are still having issues. Curiously enough my wife and I just had our 4th and every time we've conceived within two months (even when I was hoping it would take a little longer). From what I hear our friends story is not unusual and many in our age b…
Interesting. Our first took about 4 or 5 months? I think my wife stopped her birth control at the end of July and we conceived in December. Our second took 2 months, my wife stopped her birth control in September and we conceived in November. We're both in our mid-30s.
Anecdotally, my wife's sister and her husband have been trying for almost a year? And they've had one miscarriage and nothing else.
