Hi there, need some suggestions and

I've heard that doing it every day does
reduce the sperm count, but I don't
know... We did it every day and here I am
5 and a half weeks pregnant. We probably
took 1 day off a week and that was just
because I needed a break! And for the
record, I wasn't so obsessed with ttc that
I made my fiance have sex every day,
that's just how often we've always done
it. Now I feel bad for him because my sex
drive is pretty much completely gone right
now.
You could always do it 2 days then skip 1
then do it 2 then skip 1. I don't think
doing it every day greatly reduces the
sperm count, maybe a little though.
Good luck!!!

Thanks. Coz I heard so but whether it's
true I dun no. Now I know u had sex
everyday n u still managed to conceive, so
it shouldn't be a barrier if u have sex
everyday, right?
Great. Anyone else with other views

I would think that you would only have to
think about it if your fiance has a
problem with his sperm.
Good on you both for having the time to
have sex every day!

No it does not reduce sperm count. To
make it easier you can start about two to
three days before you ovulate and do it
every day until two or three days after.
But realize that you should only do it
once each day. You will wear him out if
you do. That way he can rest enough to
attempt for the following days.
It doesnt reduce your sperm count but
rather increases your chances of
conceiving.
Good luck! I am ttc too!

If it really helps in conceiving n doesn't
reduce sperm count or quality, I would
take the challenge to have sex everyday
around the ovulation period. I really
want to have a baby soon.
Thanks friends!

Try it for at least 3 day. Example if you
ovulate today, you need to try yesterday,
today and tomorrow. If all these fails,
you may have other problems. Could be
hormons, or lining not thick enough, mucus
killing the sperms, block fallopine tubes,
sperms something wrong....Etc
lovablepetsworld, did your hubby go for
sperm test? Mine didn't. He just
refuses...I hope he is not the
problem....Will let you know the good/bad
news.

hey gal, we have something to share again.
My husband didn't go for a sperm test
too. He refuses but he promised after
seeing me suffer and struggle with all
this medications like clomid and
metformin, that if this cycle didn't work,
he will go for the sperm test to do his
part in making the baby...
But I hope it won't be necessary, we will
get pregnant, let's be positive.

I hope both of your husband's change their
mind about the test. It is so simple.
Most places let you collect the sample at
home. I even took it to the lab for my
husband so he never had to show his face
at the clinic.

My dh just had to provide a sample and get
it to the lab within 1 hour. I worked in
the building so I just dropped it off on
my way to work. It only took about a
week for us but it was at a military
hospital. I don't know how long it takes
in the real world.

My doc informed me that having sex
everyday for normal occassions is fine.
But for baby making on fertile and
important days, it is advisable to do it
2days once. This is to produce quality
sperm. It seems to be out of all the
sperms that ejaculate out, only 10% are
quality sperms. So doing it everyday the
man might not be able to produce alot of
semen.
But I think it depends on each
individual... So good luck in making that
baby.
