That is why we list at least few things that are might help you get knocked up.
Darkness
You might have not thought about it at all, but it turns out that you may want to start doing it with the lights off.

Eating raspberries
Men, who are in their middle fifties, should be taking in Vitamin C. Men, who do take it, have 20 percent less damage to their sperm. By the way, it is also found that women, who take a lot of Vitamin C after conception, make sure that their risk of miscarriage will decrease. That is why you should be aware of a fact that raspberries are a great source of this vitamin since one cup of them contains 54 percent of your daily dose of vitamin C. Two cups and you are surely good to go.
Avoid any heating
It is very important to avoid high temperatures on the genital region if you want to be a parent. You probably did not know that the heat could harm your sperm. That means you should avoid hot tubs, but also do not forget that laptops heat quite well to, because of that having your laptop on your lap could make the risk of sperm being overheated increasing.

Yoga
