Ten months ago I had a semen analysis where I was told that things were somewhat abnormal but basically OK. Two days ago a new doctor actually told me the truth of that semen analysis. By the Kruger criteria I'm at 1%, which is a poor prognosis. I'm quite annoyed I was lied to. For a good part of the last ten months my wife has been talking fertility drugs while I've been doing nothing. Yet now that I know I'm only 1% I've read online of many things I could have been doing to possibly improve the situation. I read of one person who went from 1 to 22%. How incredibly annoying.

So along with supplements, boxers, teetotaling and avoiding high estrogen foods, I'm going to eat fish. I know that women vegans start menarche later and enter menopause sooner. I suspect men have similar issues. Generally the longer lived for any species, the less energy put into reproducing. I'm not happy about it. But for a while at least, it's what I'm going to do.

If still unsuccessful, think I'll adopt older children. Old enough that I know who they are. My own father was/is? a monster. I could potentially have monster children. If I instead adopt a ten to 12 year old I can avoid that.
