Gee I read a few of your posts to other people and saw that sometimes he says he doesn't want anymore kids but you remind him YOU are not finished yet.  This is just another thought on the problem, but have you considered perhaps he is serious and does not want anymore?  Perhaps it is psychological?  To be honest, if I was you I wouldn't panic. 

You have 5 beautiful children so perhaps you should be thinking your cup is half full (more than half when you consier howmany parents long for but can't evenhave one child) instead of half empty.  I think most of us would consider you a very lucky woman!

If you had wanted to be a nun for so long, surely you must consider that God gives us what he thinks we can cope with?  count your blessings Libby and concentrate on the beautiful kids you already have.

I too miss the sounds and smells and joy I got from my babies, but that is not really a reason to have more.  In having more the children we already have would have to go without many things and I love them so much I couldn't do that to them.  Not that we have an extravegant lifestyle to start with, but do you understand what I mean?

Entering into parenthood means we should all understand that eventually they aren't going to rely on us - and we should see this as a sign of good parenting when it happens.  That we have equipped them psychologically and physically through our hard and dedicated work, and that they feel confient venturing along the path of life without us.

I am sure you must be a great Mum, so relax and make the most of the short years you will have before your 5 kids grow up and fly the nest - and don't run yourself ragged before the grandkids come along

I'm not really sure there is anything YOU can do to increase HIS sperm count.  Besides slipping some magic herbal remedy in his coffee, but I think thay may be unconscionable.

Why don't you try talking to him about it? When he had the test done, you'd think they would have discussed the reasons why and any options to help increase it.

Wear some high heels and stockings. :)

Are you both healthy otherwise? Have you verified that his sperm count is in fact a problem?

Is the family under stress?

Even though you are told by your Doctor that your partner has a LOW SPERM COUNT there are many things you can do to increase the chances of getting pregnant.

Even with low sperm counts and slow sperm you can still get pregnant.

You could also get your partner to drink more water as DEHYDRATION can cause low sperm counts, also if your partners underware is to tight get the next size up or try boxer shorts. I know it has something to do with the temperature of the males testicals to help lower and raise them to produce good healthy sperm, even tight pants are a problem, The male testicls need room to breath and hang free also.

A friend of mine was told also to drink a cup of coffee or glass of coke before sex to help speed up slow moving sperm.

Also if you know when your ovulation cycle starts which is 14 days before you start to bleed this will help you know when you are most fertile and the best time to have sex, as having sex to often can slow the sperm production down exspecialy if you have a low or slow moving sperm.

Good luck I hope this helps you out.

also, wear boxes not briefs and i've also heard to much heat down there can do some damage..... good luck.

Has your husband had a sperm count performed?  Maybe his sperm are fine and that's not the problem?

Not ejaculating for several days or longer will help. Makes getting your timing right a pain though.

Hi there....  In australia, the IVF doctors say that eating green leafy vegies can assist in raising sperm counts.  Good luck!
