Fertility Q&A - Alcohol, Low Estrogen, CoQ10, and More
Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions.
1. I’m wondering how alcohol affects male and female fertility, and whether cutting back or abstaining can improve our chances with IVF or natural conception.
2. My wife has low estrogen, and we’re trying to conceive. What should we know before her upcoming doctor’s appointment so we can ask better questions?
3. We’ve been trying for 3 years with Clomid and no success. Our doctor suggested a sperm analysis, but we only have access to a CVS kit — are those reliable?
4. I take CoQ10 while trying to conceive — should I take it all month, and do I stop during the two-week wait since it’s not recommended in pregnancy?
5. My partner has low motility. How often should we have sex during my fertile window — and am I ‘using up’ good sperm if we start too early? We conceived once but lost the baby, and I’m struggling to feel confident.
