Hello everyone,
Has anyone had any experience with Brad at all? have heard he is the best in NZ and has helped alot of couples concieve a much wanted baby.
In our case it has been MFI but maybe now also me as my age. Anyone had success with Brad with male infertility and in particular - sperm antibodies and/or dna frag damage?
Love to hear some stories :)

I used Brad Crouch for over 6 months before our 2nd IVF cycle (never used him before our 1st failed one). While we had a years wait for our 2nd public IVF cycle I decided to go see Brad and see what it was like. We were unexplained and he was pretty adament he was going to get me pregnant before our IVF cycle. We both went to see him for the 1st consult but he sais seeing as my DH's sperm results were perfect then there was no need for him to take anything. I took his herbs/pills for over 6 months and saw him once a month. I thought he was amazing! He did not manage to get me pregnant naturally but I truly believe our 2nd cycle success was partially due to his help as well as other pills I put me & DH on. I recommend seeing him.

thanks heapss Tiff8ny for your post here, we will be seeing Brad this week and hoping for some positive news that maybe he can put on the the right path with vits/herbs etc to help.
From my brief discussion on the phone with him he says that our cells regenerate totally so i am hoping and praying that this can be done so we can improve our situation.
I will be taking up all the info i can for him (ie past history with ivfs, test results etc)
cheers

Yip great idea, I reckon it's worth a shot. I haven't told him yet that our IVF worked, I should of though. When you go to his offices and meet him you will think he's a bit old school but he has been around for years and helped a lot of women to concieve. Good luck and let me know what you think

Also have you and your hubby tried CoQ10 & Royal Jelly for egg & sperm quality? I would highly recommend these! We didn't take them for our 1st IVF cycle but did for our 2nd one and the sperm & egg quality was so much better the 2nd time round, we got a BFP and 1 frosty!

No Brad didnt put me on Royal Jelly or CoQ10. He put me on stuff for my cycle and on stuff that I was deficient in. I would get your hubby onto CoQ10,Royal Jelly & menevit (unsure if they help with antibodies and DNA frag issue but worth a shot?)

yeah he was good and gave us some positive news. He thinks we have a chance to get preggers naturally! so that was a shock to us as always told no way due to MFI, he also said that my age is not too bad as he has got women preggers in mid 40s too!!
He gave both us vits/herbs etc - lots of pills to take!! and also fert diet for both of us - no sugar no flour etc. Will see :)
