On Follicular Study, Follicle About To Rupture In A Day Or Two. When Should We Try For Baby?
hi Doctor, I m on my follicle study and its my 12th day and my scanning specialist said it may rupture day after tomorrow most probably. My husband s sperm motility is lower than the normal range ( 45% rapid progressive motiltiy) but good count. i want to know when should we start trying for baby. He has abstained for a week. I ve heard that abstaining for longer time will deteriorate semen quality and also frequent sexes will reduce the chance of conception . I m really confused. when should we start trying continuously or alternate days Neetha

Hello Neetha,
First i would like to tell 45 %rapid progressive motility is a good motility according to recent WHO semen parameters, so don't worry if other parameters are normal.Well this much of abstinence is not required , 2 to 3 days abstinence is sufficient , or you may not have any abstinence also if you are going for a natural method ( not IUI). You can go for daily or alternate day intercourse from today onwards as you desire.Enjoy the couple life without stress,and you will get the pregnancy if everything is normal. good luck
