REPOST SINCE I CANT EDIT- I have heard a few different things and just wondering what everyone here thinks. Here they are:
1. Hold off from sex or having my DH ejaculate for 14 days prior to my ovulation. Then when it come time to have sex he'll have super concentrated sperm. (My coworker did this and got BFP the first time they tried.)
2. Make sure he ejaculates at least a few days before we start TTC (vs waiting the full 2 weeks) because the sperm he would have would have some dead sperm?? (Just read that on this app tonight)
Just trying to figure out what to do since my ovulation date is the 26th.
My husband had to wait at least 2 days but no longer than 7 days when having his semen analysis done. Idk if that helps but I assume that time frame would provide the most concentrated sample...
@mintmelonmom That's sounds good. We'll try that. Thanks for commenting.
@mommytoabel I'd never heard of dead sperm either. Thanks for the feedback.
I don't think you need to wait a full 2 weeks but waiting a couple days can help. Going every day or every other day starting 5 days before estimated ovulation, on ovulation day, and maybe even a couple days after ovulation would give you a good chance of conceiving.
@kv7009 Awesome feedback. Thank you
