Idea for TTC'ers
| Sun, 10-19-2003 - 1:39pm |
OK I have a new idea and would like to hear your opinions!!!
My theory originates from a book I read a long time ago about apes, there was some information about gorillas (I think) and how by having sex more often their sperm count increased. My memory is quite hazy and I have not been able to find the book or any info on the internet (any sperm count information links you know of? I'd be very interested!)
So my idea is to BD every day or every other day THROUGHOUT the cycle, then give DH a rest for a few days leading up to ovulation, then BD the two days before and the day of ovulation.
Does this make ANY sense (apart from the practicalities of BDing so much)?
Please tell me your thoughts!!!

Interesting origin for the idea. We BD almost every day, since that is the only thing that matters in trying to get pregnant! No charts or temps "yet"...just the old fashioned way. We'll see how it goes, this is first time TTC. LOL
Another bit of info I found about sperm:
Researchers Baker and Bellis (1989):
If when making love a woman has no orgasm, or has one more than a minute before the man ejaculates, then very little of his sperm remains in her vagina.
If her orgasm was less than one minute before or up to 45 minutes later than his ejaculation, then most of his sperm stays in
In addition, the longer it was since she had previously had an orgasm, then the more sperm she retains.
Finally, the amount the man ejaculated related to whether the couple had been together during the day or apart. If they had been together, the amount was less than if they had been apart - consistent with the sending in the troops hypothesis.
Quick question because I think part of the sentence got cut off. The part when it says "if a woman has an orgasm 1 minute before or 45 min. after he ejaculates then the sperm ...??... (thats where it gets cut off). So, ideallt - what is the best situation in order to keep the sperm inside or on it;s way??
Thanks

I have read (cannot remember where exactly...), that to keep sperm active, you should not have more than 5-7 days between BD all month. Also, at the time around O, you should not "save up" for more than 36-48 hours because then more dead sperm would build up. My doctor confirmed this theory for us - hopefully he is correct. We are trying to follow...we do BD every day around o though...
Good luck!

View my chart
"if a woman has an orgasm 1 minute before or 45 min. after he ejaculates then the sperm STAYS IN!!!" :)
So, this is how I understand it ...
1. If you and DH spend time apart, his sperm count increases quicker than if you spend time together.
2. Refrain from having an orgasm before making love/during lovemaking, save your orgasm for after his (within 45 mins) - unless you can time it to within 1 minute before his, or simultaneous.
I'll be trying it this month!
