Can Masturbation In A Marriage Prevent A Successful Pregnancy?

I'm a married male and I like to masturbate, sometimes 1-3 times a day. I don't know if this is common or not. Plus my wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while now with no results. I do have days when I don't masturbate at all and my wife and I have great intercourse. I was wondering if masturbation could possibly be preventing the pregnancy or is it okay for me to masturbate and accomplish our goal?

though masturbation has no direct effects on getting pregnant however if you masturbate and have sex the same day chances are your sperm count will be less as more of it you have expelled during masturbation. so try to stop it instead have regular sex with your partner during her fertile period day 8- day 21 of her menses.
