None, really, unless the man or woman is malnourished.\n\nFor information on the subject, try reading _Fertility, Cycles, and Nutrition_ by Marilyn Shannon.  I haven't read the book, but I have seen it recommended.

The Rainbow Serpent is an Aboriginal spirit from the Dreamtime myths. Some stories about him/her/it are good and some are bad. In some myths it is a personification of fertility - maybe to do with pregnancy or good fortune in the future?\n\nHere are a few you might like to read:\n\nhttp://www.nimbinweb.com.au/bundjalung/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.aboriginalartonline.com/culture/rainbow.php\n\nhttp://www.dreamtime.auz.net/default.asp?PageID=71\n\nhttp://www.innovationslearning.co.uk/subjects/re/information/creation/australian_aborigines.htm\n\nOf course, it may be nothing to do with this spirit, but it can't hurt to learn a bit more about another culture. \n\nTW x

A woman get technically get pregnant at any time.  So always be careful. It scares me that people ask questions like this.

There is also an important connection between nutrition and male reproduction and nutritional recommendations are crucial to consider in order to maximize the fertility of the male partner. \nPhyto-therapy (herbal therapy) has helped many couples conceive the children that they have always desired. When treating infertility using herbal fertility tonics, the remedies should be taken by both male and female for maximum results.

The more you stress about "wanting to get pregnant", the less likely it is to happen.  Bleeding after intercourse can indicate a bacterial infection, or endometriosis, both of which can affect your fertility.  Please see your doctor and tell him about the bleeding.\n\nAlternatively, some feng shui cures:  Don't sweep under or around the bed, don't vaccum around the bed while you are trying to conceive.  Place spiritual or religous objects in  the bedroom that can be seen from the bed.  Buy things for a new baby, while strongly visualizing using them on your new baby.  Affirm your desire, and don't feed into negativity.  Stop saying, "This is hopeless, I'll never get pregnant."  Say instead, "My seemingly impossible wish now comes to pass, thank you for the gift of creating this new life within."  DON'T hammer nails into your house or do any major renovations while trying to conceive.  Partly fill a bowl with clean water.  Take it outside at night and place it in the moonlight for at least three hours.  Bring it in and place it under the bed in the vicinity of your abdomen.  Do this for 9 days.

The birth rate among religionists reflects selfishness. How selfish is it for a couple to have more than two children in a world where the population is exploding. 40,000 children  starve to death everyday, our seas are dying from our waste, arable land is disappearing at 2% per year,finite resources (like oil) will soon run out and people have the stupidity to say the world has room for more people. Any reason NOT to have a kid is a valid reason and abortion is the final fail safe for when birth control doesn't work.

See below.  There are many myths, but I think this answers your question.

There's a book called the Art of Natural Family Planning.  I think that's what it is called.  But it teaches how to tell when a woman is ovulating from taking her temperature, and other signs to look for to know the fertile times. It's a great method.  I did not enjoy the pill.  I was moody all the time and I didn't know what was going on with my body. This other method is great.  I know what is going on in my body.  There's more control.  Don't do anything permanent.  SOmeday you might want kids.

go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will ovulate and be fertile.\n\n\nOne of the hallmarks of the current generation is that women are choosing to have children later in life and it is likely that this trend will continue. On average, women today are having two children with approximately four years time between the first and second births. Between 1985 and 1994 the proportion of births to women in their 20s decreased from 62 percent to 53 percent, while the proportion of births to women 30 - 44 years of age increased from 25 percent to 34 percent. Since the mid 1970s there has been a four-fold increase in the percent of first births to women 30 years and older. \n\nOvulation is the term used to define the release of an egg (usually one, though sometimes more) from a woman’s ovary. Conception occurs when a sperm fertilizes the egg. While sperm can survive for several days inside a woman’s reproductive tract, an egg can only survive for up to 24 hours after ovulation. This puts a limitation on the time when conception is most likely to occur. According to a recent survey conducted at the World Congress on Fertility and Sterility, 20 percent of the problems in conceiving are due to a couple’s failure to time intercourse correctly during the woman’s fertile time period.\n\nThe Opinion Research Corporation International (ORC) found that most women don’t know when they can become pregnant. Nearly all women (98 percent) of reproductive age are unclear about how many days each month it is possible to get pregnant, and more than half (52 percent) of women aren’t sure when those fertile days occur during their cycle. Most parents do not know the day(s) on which their children were conceived.\n\nTo increase chances of becoming pregnant, women should monitor their body’s fertile time period - the time that sperm can survive within a woman’s reproductive tract until ovulation and fertilization can occur. A woman’s most fertile period is typically several days (usually no more than 5-6) ending on the day after ovulation. Because menstrual cycles vary from one woman to another and even from one cycle to the next in the same woman, identifying a woman’s fertile time period can be challenging. However there are several methods a woman can use to determine when she is most likely to conceive: \n\nCalendar - A woman can chart her menstrual cycle on a calendar to determine the days she is most likely to ovulate. \nBasal Body Temperature (BBT) - The BBT is a woman’s temperature first thing in the morning, before getting up or doing any activity. In a normal menstrual cycle, a woman’s BBT rises almost one degree from just after ovulation through the beginning of her next cycle. \nCervical Mucus - Most of the time the cervix produces a mucus that protects the body from sperm, bacteria and other organisms. For several days each month, the consistency of the mucus changes to allow sperm to enter the fallopian tubes. By monitoring these changes, a woman can determine her fertile time period. \nSymptothermal - Charting a combination of fertility indicators like cervical secretions and BBT can often help to indicate a woman’s fertile time period. \nThe above charting methods require women to record the secondary signs of fertility caused by changes in hormones. Because these conditions can be affected by factors such as infections or medications, they require careful monitoring and analysis, and they are never 100% reliable. An alternative to these methods is measuring changes in hormone levels. An increase in the level of estrogen marks the beginning of most women’s fertile phase, while an increase in the luteinizing hormone (LH) level signals that ovulation will occur soon - usually within approximately 24 to 36 hours.\n\nThe fertility monitor is a relatively new approach designed to provide daily information about a woman’s fertile time period. The monitor recor

I think that, in addition to the answer provided above, that there are more fertility problems that we are aware of.  Twenty or thirty years ago, nobody discussed fertility issues, and we didn't see advertisements about fertility clinics.  Now that those treatments are available, it's brought fertility issues into the public eye more than ever before.

The simple answer is no, they don't produce more sperm & just because they're bigger than average, doesn't mean that they are any less fertile.

DNA patterns tend too suggest not, but yes that is the popular myth.

It depends a lot on the extent of the hypothyroidism. A good information resource can be found here: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/fertilitythy.htm
