Take a look at some of the other proven ways to boost your man's sperm count naturally when you're trying to conceive.

Several studies on overweight or obese men have shown that sperm count increased when they lost weight.  

Add these foods to your baby-making menu to boost your chances of conceiving: 

Oysters are a great source of zinc, which helps sperm production. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re an aphrodisiac! They can be expensive and some men don’t like sea food so some other great sources of zinc are turkey, pumpkin seeds, lobster and mussels.

Dark chocolate contains an amino acid that has been proven to double sperm and semen volume. It’s also high in antioxidants-enough to rival pomegranates and acai berries. Antioxidants are a great weapon against free radicals, nasty little molecules found in pollution and toxins that are linked to male infertility. But don’t go overboard – putting on weight can cause imbalances in testosterone which could lower your man’s sperm count. A couple of squares a day is plenty.

Garlic is a great baby-making booster for your man. It contains two fantastic elements – allicin, which improves blood flow to his sexual organs and protects sperm from damage, and selenium, an antioxidant that improves sperm motility. One to two cloves a day is loads.

Bananas have been found to increase male libido and regulate sex hormones because of an enzyme called bromelain. They’re also full of vitamins C, A and B1 which will boost his body’s ability to produce sperm.

Deficiencies in vitamin A are a common cause of low fertility, because a lack of vitamin A makes your man’s sperm sluggish. Broccoli is packed with vitamin A, as are red peppers, spinach, apricots, sweet potatoes and carrots.

Asparagus is another weapon against those nasty free radicals. It’s also packed with vitamin C, which protects sperm from damage and increases its motility and volume – so your man will have more swimmers and they’ll move faster.

Omega-3 fatty acids increase sperm count and boost blood flow to the genitals – and walnuts are a fantastic source. They’re a tasty on-the-go snack and can be sprinkled on porridge or dessert. Other good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are crab, salmon, chicken and pumpkin seeds.

This aphrodisiac root has been used to treat infertility for hundreds of years. It boosts levels of testosterone and increases blood flow to the genitals, with some claiming it even treats erectile dysfunction. Get him to drink tea with ginseng, or take dried ginseng root each day for a TTC boost.
