having sex lowers sperm count

Also ejaculating to much lowers the sperm count so cut down on sex, like to every couple of days or so

It is possible, I suppose, that having sex every other day depleted the amount of semen he is creating (it probably has depleted the sperm count slightly also, despite the fact that you are not having sex every day), but in any case, you are not going to be able to go by that particular cue to know if you are pregnant. When your period is due, you can take an early-results pregnancy test the first day it is due with at least some certainty of an accurate answer.

The highest chance of getting pregnant comes on the day 2 days before ovulation followed by the day before and then the day of, per the AAP. As stated above, having sex too often can lower sperm count, and can also cause a lot of immature sperm to be released, and also waiting too long could cause a lot of dead sperm to be released. So the recommended frequency is every other day, and if not every 3 days.

Zinc is a supplement some men use for sperm count. I imagine your acupuncturist might have some chinese medicinal herbs to recommend as well.

When I was trying to conceive they told me not to have sex everyday, it lowers the sperm count. It is best to have sex every other day. That is the only advice I have ever gotten from a dr. so best of luck.

Smoking weed will not prevent you from getting pregnant. Since you had unprotected sex, yes you can be pregnant.

This is what I have learned. The urologist and the RE always debate on this. Testostrone lowers your sperm count. Your body quits producing it naturally and hense your sperm count goes down. My DH's count started out at 28mil (although that is still low) after approx 4 years on Testosterone, his count has went down to approx 7mil. We are doing icsi with IVF to avoid this issue.

Every other day works and as Annie said, every day lowers sperm count (the "boys" need time to build up their count) make sure he's wearing loose fitting boxers and keep all laptops, electronics & anything that would warm that area away...heat kills the sperm.

every other day or every day??

Ok my partner and i are trying to have a baby i asked my friend if we should have sex everyday because i find it hard to keep up with checking my temp etc to tell what days fertillity is higher she said that if we are having sex every day that can reduce the chance because it lowers the sperm count? is this true? i just dont no when its best too and how often i personally thought that if we did it every day that would be the best chance?

i have had ed issues but whenever i smoke pot it actually makes it easier for me. i've heard of the sperm count thing but never seen any data so for all i know it might be a myth.

My DH has a sperm count of about 15 million so should we BD every day or every other day??? I want to make sure we have a high chance of getting pregnant!!! I had a laparoscopy done on 4-17-13 I had endometriosis. The Dr said I should be fine and I just got over AF so we are going to TTC this month I just don't want his sperm count to drop anymore.

One might hope so. But unfortunately, hydrocodone (even if abused) will probably not change his sperm count.

My doctor said it only lowers sperm count on men that don't have good swimmers.

Sometimes trying too much is worse (lowers sperm count) and your best day might not be the day you think so definately get a test kit.

Smoking lowers your sperm count. Fact..

If you are taking medicines look them up online or call a pharmacist and ask them about it. If he is taking narcotics for any reason, that lowers the sperm count also. Which makes it more difficult to conceive...

We decided that since I had all my chemical levels checked and they came back fine that we would have a sperm count done to see how his boys are. Today we found out that only 10% of his sperm is alive and swimming. Although we could get pregnant, with these kind of numbers I imagine it could take a while. Our Dr has refered us to a fertility clinic, and I am kind of curious what may be options form here. I don't know how long it will take to get into the clinic.

I have also heard having sex everyday lowers the sperm count, so when you are actually fertile there are less sperm to fertilize the egg during your ovulation period.

My boyfriend just told me he has low sperm count like the bottom 2% but i am pregnant 20 weeks with a healthy pregnancy and its his. Im confused and kind of upset he waited so long to tell me. I would like to have more kids in the future. What does this mean because i got pregnant in the first month of trying??? How did i get pregnant so fast if he has low sperm count?

s better to have sex every other night rather than every night because every night decreases sperm count.

This will sound crazy but cut back on sex unless ovulating, when you have sex it lowers the mans sperm count.

What does it mean when you dont get pregnant when you ovulated? Low sperm count? ?

I don't agree with Nicolew09. Being a lesbian having sex wasn't an option for me. Going to the dr can be avoided. I would suggest getting ovulation tests. They sell them in 40 packs. Its like taking a pregnancy test every day when you get the posative ovulation test you should try that day the next day and the day after that. That is your window. Having sex every day lowers sperm count. . Also having our hips raised like on a pillow can help.
