Vitamin C supplements ?

Question

So I read a long while back in the Assisted Fertility group about government studies on Vitamin C supplements to aid in male factor infertility. Google it. It's a high dose at 1000 mg twice a day and is mainly to counteract environmental pollution. My husband works in a flour mill that is regularly fumigated and has airborne flour particles, so he has to deal with agricultural pesticide. Here are our stats so far giving it a try:
​
​Post Vasectomy Reversal check-up March 18th, 2014 - Looked good 
​2.6cc
​Average Viscosity
​Average Turbidity
​101 mil per cc
​64 mil active
​37 mil inactive 
​Total count 262.6 mil
​63% motility, so 166.4 mil
​Good forward progression
​60% normal morphology, 40% abnormal 
​7 days abstinence 
​
​This test was done by the Urologist who did his VR and seemed proud of the results.

Answer

Because I had to do multiple posts, just look at the dates of the SA to look at the progression. Started great, then crap, then slow improvement x2!

Answer

Next SA was at the Fertility Clinic when I kept insisting DH was fine, that it was all me:
​May 19, 2014 
​2.75 mL volume 
​8.0 PH 
​Normal Viscosity
​110mil per mL
​26% motility
​Progression okay
​57% supravital (norm is 75% or >)
​No agglutination 
​19% normal morphology (normal is 30% or >)
​In Comments: gelatinous particles present. 41% sperm exhibit tail defects-many are cooked. Total motile 79 mil.
​6 days abstinence
​
​We were crushed that as a few months had passed his SA had gotten so much worse.

Answer

Lastly is our most recent IUI sample report, #2
​
​October 14, 2014
​Volume 2.25 mL
​Normal Viscosity
​Concentration 72mil/mL
​Motility 52%
​Progression Good
​
​Post-wash it became
​Volume 3.0 mL (they thinned it out!)
​Concentration 11mil/mL
​Motility 81%
​Progression Good
​Total # Motile 27 mil
​4 days abstinence
​Comments: Gelatinous particles present.
​
​My DH noted he had gelatinous particles sometimes even before his vasectomy.
​
​Feeling hopeful with the improving SA and going to continue the Vitamin C!

Answer

Next is our first IUI sample report. We had read about Vitamin C a week and a half before and started it. Results:
​September 16, 2014
​Volume 2.0 mL
​Viscosity Normal
​Concentration 58mil/mL
​Motility 36% (10% jump!)
​Good progression
​
​Washed, it became 
​Volume 2.0 mL
​Concentration 11mil/mL
​Motility 82%
​Good Progression
​Total # Motile 18 mil
