You can impregnate a lady with these numbers!vise

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand the anxiety surrounding difficulties getting pregnant. We always give at least 1 year for trial without success before investigating for any possible reasons why you both are unable to conceive. You have not reached that time limit yet. Also, pregnancy is a game of chance and patience should always be exercised. There are persons who would get pregnant on the first day and there are others who would struggle over several months before they get there. Not because of any particular reasons but because it is a game of luck.

My advice is that you both continuing trying if no other cause is identified with your wife. For sure, you would get there. I will not recommend any aggressive measures at this time to help you become pregnant.

Vitamin supplements are good for a healthy life but not specific for sperm counts. Keep up with them.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
