Step 1: Minimize Bad Habits

Stop smoking, heavy drinking or drug use. Cigarette smoking can decrease sperm count by about 22 percent and reduces the fertilizing capacity of the remaining sperm by about 75 percent.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3ikSbvUCHY

Step 2: Get in Shape

Increase your fertility by getting in shape. For every 20 pounds of excess weight you have, your infertility chances increase by 10 percent. You should also focus on eating a well-balanced diet. The quality of your sperm is tightly linked to the quality of foods you consume. Eat a diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables and non-processed foods.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3ikSbvUCHY

Step 3: Consult a Doctor

Get a check-up before you start trying to conceive. Some medical conditions, medications and infections can impact the quality and quantity of your sperm. Ask your doctor for alternative medicines if you are on ones known to have reproductive side effects such as those used for male-pattern baldness. If any medical problems are discovered, have your doctor evaluate your sperm count and quality to see if you are ready to start the conception process.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3ikSbvUCHY
