I'm really worried if masturbation and ejaculation can affect my height and growth. I've heard that it might cause stunted growth, and it's stressing me out. Can you tell me if there's any truth to this?

I'm really struggling and have been trying to have a baby for the last four years. I've visited many doctors, and they've all told me that everything looks fine with both me and my husband.

I recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?
