Morning sperm ???

So I know that BDing in the morning is supposed to be better (altho I'm not sure why! anyone know?) but the whole week that we need to be BDing, my husband will be on the night shift!! So he could come home and we could BD, but altho it will be morning, it will be more like night to his body. So should we BD once he wakes up at night? I don't know what to do! I would just BD both times (altho he may get too tired for that) but I know we need to give his sperm time to regenerate. Plus, I will be going to night classes that week, so I might not be able there to BD when he wakes up! We literally only have this cycle and the next and that's it!! :( I would appreciate any help!

Hi Camille,

Oh..I have experienced the same problem about three months ago. What I found out is that getting Bd with your husband after his night shift in the morning would be better than in the evening. In the morning, although tired of work, he is having the energy of the day. In the evening after he gets some sleep, his body dies for more sleep and I noticed that he functioned less than it should be. It is because his body needs this sleep time but does not get enough so he would be double tired than in the morning. It is like , in the usuall days, when you go Bd at night after a long day work but vice verse. This is according to my experience..but it is not definite , as you know, because your DH body might be different. It depends. Just hope this would be of some help.

Camille,

I have the same problem as you. My DH works 2nd shift hours and doesn’t go to bed until around 6am. I have morning classes so I am in bed when he gets home. I found that BDing before he falls asleep works best because he isn’t tired from a whole nights sleep. It also helps to knock him out… :) HTH.

Thanks, Melody and Lama!!

I guess I will just see how it goes. Maybe we'll switch it up every other day. Who knows, I may not even ovulate. :(
