Question TRIBEX by ChromsDex and chances for Pregnancy

I know I could go ahead and look this up on the internet, however, I thought I would get on here and chat about it abit. About 2 1/2 yrs ago, I took Nutrex 1-TU ( I am PRETTY sure thats what it was). I took it for only a month and ended up getting my GF pregnant so I got the heck off it. I was wondering if it was a coinsidence or did/many that supplement BOOST the "strength" of my sperm?

Well, today I have been taking Tribex which "increases" testosterone, so COULD THIS too cause for "unexspected" Gifts? aka better chance of getting my GF pregnant. She is a lil worried!...


Thought id bring it to the tabel! Thanks!!

If she is so worried, then why isn't she on birth control. There was a thing on the news that said taking birth control for at least 1 year actually lowers the risk of some cancers. BUT, if you take it longer than ten years it increases you risk. Use a condom?

Thanks!

I have been doing some research since I posted the reply. Thank you for the adive, and yes, birth control is being taken<both time>. Condoms? No...I guess it might have been just coinisidence. My main ? was would a HIGHER testosterone level increase the the probability of pregnancy.

Here is a study I found on the internet that seamed to answer part of my ?


http://www.gordonresearch.com/Produc...errestris.html

Tribulus terrestris is a testosterone enhancer. Studies show that it works very well when stacked with DHEA and androstenedione. It increased testosterone levels in a different way, however, than either DHEA or Andro do. Instead of being a testosterone precursor, it leads to the production of the luteinizing hormone (LH). When LH levels are increased, the natural production of testosterone also increases. LH is a hormone that also deals with sex drive. Now one can understand why it has been used to increase fertility and help with impotence. Laboratory animal studies found that Tribulus terrestris increased sperm count as well as motility levels after taking it for 30 days.

The ANSWER should be "DONT TAKE THE CHANCE!!"
