I am a male and I take neem as a contraceptive and I am convinced that it works.
I confirmed the results with tests, but I neglected to check for sperm mobility
at the beginning. I didn't check mobility because I was married before for three
years and my ex-wife got pregnant 6 times, but was unable to carry the babies
because of a tilted uterus. I should have checked my mobility anyways to take
away any doubts anyone could have, but I did check my sperm count with a
FertilMARQ male fertility test (cost about $40) and my sperm count was great. I
took 2 (each 475 mg) Nature's Way Neem Pills for 6 weeks and retested my sperm
count. My sperm count was still normal, but neem doesn't mess with you sperm
count but it does mess up mobility. I didn't have a sperm mobility test then so
I kept taking the doses of neem until I could order one, which was about 4
months after I started taking the neem. I checked the sperm mobility with the
Fertell fertility test (cost about $100), and it showed that I had no sperm
mobility. I'm positive that neem can be used as a male birth control pill.
