Hi Everyone
Just wondered if anyone can answer this question. We may have issues with DH sperm with DNA fragmentation possibly because of sperm being inside his body too long (yet to have a test done but dr's seem to think this could be a problem for us) The question is how FRESH should the sperm be time of Egg collection? ie, should he ejaculate every day for 5 days prior? or just every 2 days for a week? so to get fresh new sperm the best quality possible to use? I look forward to some advice here.. this 3rd time ivd/icsi we are about to embark on has to work this time and i want to cover all basis here and make sure we do everything right..

| I'm sorry to hear you are are facing this. I don't know anything about that side of things. However as no one else has commented yet and I do know from our natural fertility lady that it's a good idea to do it every second day for a week prior to ovulation so the sperm is fresher when it's the right time and there is plenty in there already that might hold then i guess you could go with that logic for this. All the best. |

Thanks Tal.
Yep, i would think every 2nd day week leading up to the big O should do the trick i hope!!

oh gawd no idea here Im afraid...all i know is when i suggested mrs palmer to DH before his spermie test the look i got and reaction to it told me NOT to go there.....I actually think Dhs might have been worse test as he had been away from me for 5 days or so in lead up to his test....LOL!
I would hope if mrs palmer came out once or twice a week that would be enought...unless you are BDing at least the same amount and then that should be fine too.... |

It should actually tell you in your info/orientation pack mtjt - try going back through that. I think it was more than 3 days, less than 5, but I'd recommend confirming that. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |
