Sperm Quality from Abstitance & What have Doctors recomended to those ttc?

[kristenann]

Hi so few questions ...
1. How many days abstitance is best for sperm quality?
2. Does daily BD effect chances of getting pregnant? Making it worse?
3. If anyone has experience of asking, what did drs recomend you did BD wise how often / when etc? And other advice...?

Thanks!

I think it's no longer than 7 days and 5 days is better. Daily BD can make quantity smaller and therefore affect chances. Every other day dtd is recommended.

At the clinic we go to we are told no less than two days or longer than five

Sorry to jump on this thread so my ovulation cycle is said to be around 20 - 24th does this mean we should try and did each of these days and should abstain from doing it before then?

No it's good to have regular sex...it's been shown to improve fertility for men and women. But dtd every single day can deplete stores. Also it's best to have sex before ovulation. When you say your ovulation cycle 'is said to be around..' are you using an app? They are not always accurate. It's helpful to use opks at least for a while to pinpoint your ovulation day.
