[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vegetarian diet doesn't necessarily involve soy! My husband had all numbers low in his first two SA. He adopted a complete vegetarian diet with lots of berries, spinach, kale, carrots, beans and lentils. His everyday diet involved 1 serving of either black or red kidney beans and 1 serving of lentils. These food items are rich in zinc. No eggs, no meat. I had my female issues going on, so he had sufficient time to test for dietary changes. In 5 months, his sperm count went up to be called as normal. His motility considerably improved but morphology remained more or less the same (low). We had to go for IVF/ICSI due to other issues we had but his SA was remarkably better after a complete vegetarian diet. [/quote]

I am this poster again. If anyone's interested, he also drank lots of water, especially with a little lemon in it. No sodas and reduced coffee. Exercised for about 30 minutes approx 3-4 times a week. He did not take any multivitamins or supplements. Again, I am not saying vegetarian diet completely solves the issue (his morphology did not improve) but we think it helped in his case with the quantity and quality both. There is no harm in trying.
