Menevit

[jules30]

FS gave me 3 mths supply of Menevit for DF last year. He has been taking it when he remembers to unfortunately intermittently. It was to improve his which have low motility and low % of normal forms, but with good count.

We have been put down for icsi when we start ivf but i was hoping that the menevit may have helped. Has anyone tried this for male infertility and got a good result? would luv to hear any experiences.

I've heard of it, and have been waiting for it to become available. Can I assume that you are going through repromed? Checking their website shows they are doing a trial with it, and that it will be available in Australia from February 2008. Unfortunately, the menevit website from Bayer itself is still saying that it's unavailable here.

We tried to get onto te trial for it as well, but they unfortunately were full by the time we heard about it.

Are you taking Elevit or some other sort of Folate tablets? Maybe have them at dinner time & get DH's out at the same time, that's how I got Aaron to remember his Vit C & Zinc.

I got it from my FS through Concept Fertility in Perth. Yes it was for the trial. Yep i have to start reminding him to take it when i take my tabs, good idea!

I really hope the Menevit helps as my DF does not smoke or drink and his diet is pretty good. He does not have a job where is exposed to chemicals or anything like that. He has been slowly losing weight over the last 18 mths and he is a good weight now. So I dont know how he could have these sp. probs!! It is a bit frustrating.

Jules, has your DH been checked for a varicocele? Mine has one - resulting in low motility, low count, poor morphology... There's some debate as to whether fixing it will improve sperm at all, but it might be worth checking out.

I work in a pharmacy in adelaide and it is available here, I think it has been on the shelf for about a month?

I looked that up when i heard about it but he doesn't fit the bill because he has a high count (165mill). My FS looked a bit confused about the combination actually, although he has had 3 samples all with similar results.

Id be interested to know if any others have same thing where the count is high but low motility and poor morphology. And possible causes/solutions.
