LICORICE ROOT & IUI -- bad mix

Is it ok for my hubby to take licorice root from AF to O when i will probably be having an IUI for sorting --will this decrease his sperm count and thus decrease our chances of getting pregnant? Also, don't understand how this works bc doesnt a man's sperm always contain 50% male and 50% female sperm? I just dont want the licorice root to decrease our chances of getting prego with IUI.

i would not have dh take this with iui

why, what are your thoughts?

i agree with your reasons

Can you help me with a personal plan for swaying with an IUI (with modified sperm swim up method)? I am taking 2000 cranberry, 2000 calcium, 400 mg, (magnesium shot once a month), 2000 mg vitamin C, acidophilus 3 pills/day, prenatal (without dha portion), 800mcg folic acid Hubby taking 2000 calcium, 500 mg magnesium, 2000 mg vit c, 2000 mg cranberry and i was going to add the licorice root. Do you have any thougts or advice ...what else can i do to increase our chances for a baby girl?
