Really Embarrasing Question About Ttc
Posted: 03-13-07 23:29pm

okay I'm new here but not new to the ttc department.

In my first marriage we spent several months ttc and had 2 misscarriages, I then had a healthy baby boy who is now 19 months old. I am now engaged to a wonderful new man. We are very happy except when it comes to ttc its proving harder then we had expected.

My DH has a problem ejaculating from intercourse Embarassed Not that its embarrassing to me, I know it would be to him. So we talked about it with friends who also had TTC problems, they said that they used a not so medical way to solve the problem. Here is the story she told me.

" You know those plastic depositories that come with Vaginal creams...okay use one of those and this is how you do it. When you are having sex, and he gets close to the goal have him do it in a clean plastic cup. Then use the depository to put the semen inside of your vagina."

She said she laid on her back while her husband injected it into her vagina and she would lay there for 10 minutes with her feet up.

I have heard of laying down with feet up to help increase your chances but it seemed a little "weird".

We did try this method. We still have 6 days to see if it worked or not. My only concern is.... This is the embarrassing part lol, My husband can only ejaculate with oral sex.... and lets just say it came out before it went in the cup lol. Can my saliva harm or cause infertile sperm? Can air harm the sperm? That was my draw back when our friend suggested the method was that the air might corrupt the sperm. We know my husband is fertile, and I am fertile also. Its just the matter of him not being able to ejaculate from sex.... Its so frustrating and I try to work with him and come up with new ideas blah blah blah but.. nothing seems to help get him to the goal other then oral sex.

What do you all think??? I know this post is rather gross and maybe TMI so sorry ladies.

Lots of baby dust!!!!!!

Sperm can live just fine in the open air as long as it is kept moist and warm. So if the semen was still wet, the sperm was probably fine. No worries there.

Saliva also would not hurt it. It would be the same if he gave you oral sex before sex. Then you would have a mixture of saliva and semen in that situation too. I have yet to hear of any problems due to that.
