Odd Ex Question
Posted: 06-18-05 01:10am

I know this may sound like kind of a wierd question. But I heard that it's bad to have sex every day when you are trying to get pregnant. Something about that the sperm don't have enough time to form properly and there's a greater risk of having birth defects or complications. Is this true? And how often should you have sex if you're trying to get pregnant? Thanks!

My Dr. Told me to have sex everyother day or ever 2-3 days even....It doesnt cause birth defects if you have sex every day....It just reduces the sperm count...And if youre having sex every day then when you need the little guys the most....There may not be as many there.....Hope this helps.

I dunno if it had anything to do with it or not or if it was just a coincidence (which honestly I think it was) but one of my relatives was ttc and was having sex everyday and got no where after almost 8 months of trying so the doc told her to ease up a little and only have sex a few times a week cause that way it would give the sperm the time it needed or whatever, and after I think 3 months of trying she got pregnant. Not saying it would work for everyone and maybe it was just her "time" but who knows, right.
