Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
Taking Dilantin and warfarin ( you have stopped it now) are not known to produce any harmful effects on sperm production or their quality. There should not be any problem in becoming a father. You can easily plan for a baby with your wife.
Feeling sleepy throughout the day might be due to the effect of dilantin.
Since you are leading a healthy life style, you should succeed in 6-8 months.
Please be careful to have intercourse during the fertile days ( from day 10-16) of the cycle.
Eat a diet that includes whole, unprocessed foods. The best foods for health in general, and also for sperm health, are whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seed. Avoid alcohol, smoking, take more of proteins and fresh vegetables. Minerals like zinc & selenium, amino acids like l-carnitine, and antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E are very crucial to sperm health.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
