I take this kind of articles with a pinch of salt. This study was on its early stages and the scientists were yet to prove its effect on fertility. I read this article some time ago and looked for similar studies, i even asked hubby (who is a scientist) to dig more info on scientific journals and publications but couldn't find anything that confirms this study while the 1 or 2 days abstinence from sex theory has proven to improve fertility in men and is recommended by doctors worldwide.

There's a difference between the sperm quality when you are actively BDing and trying to get pregnant and the sperm quality after the man has ejaculated more frequently over a certain period of time, if that makes sense. It's not necessarily that the frequency of the sex will create a better chance of conception; it's more that the man's body makes more healthy sperm to replace the unhealthy ones, and these you can 'use' later when his sperm quantity/quality is improved.
