Soy and Sperm Count


Sat, 05/02/2009 - 12:35 — Elizabeth

 

Both ABC News and Uro Today released results to a study that looked at the impact of eating soy products on men’s sperm count and quality. After evaluating questionnaire responses and semen samples from 100 men who were seeking treatment for infertility, researcher Jorge Chavaro concluded that men who consumed half a serving of soy each day had lower sperm count than those that didn’t.  In fact, they had about 40 percent less than normal. Researchers believe this happens because the soy products interfere with hormone signals that help sperm production.  Scientists do say that more tests need to be done to be sure of these findings. To read more, go to: http://abcnews.go.com

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
